Columbia Law Review

The Myth of Tiananmen And the price of a passive press

June 4, 2010

A few people may have been killed by random shooting on streets near the square, but all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully. Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passersby, did die that night, but in a different place and under different circumstances.

The Chinese government estimates more than 300 fatalities. Western estimates are somewhat higher. Many victims were shot by soldiers on stretches of Changan Jie, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, about a mile west of the square, and in scattered confrontations in other parts of the city, where, it should be added, a few soldiers were beaten or burned to death by angry workers.

I was wondering when crypto content would become a thing like this.

Nobody is gonna read

speak for yourself

post is doing fine, you are not the mainstream

I've never seen your acct before. You seem like a reactionary nut if you think RFK Jr is a useful political figure. Calling someone a 'soy sucker' is also reactionary, even if it's 'just a joke'.

Lemmy.ml doesn't abide this type of crap. Go find an instance that wants your drivel.

Vietnam is a unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic, one of the two communist states (the other being Laos) in Southeast Asia.

Visiting, sure. Eating products grown/harvested there seems ill advised.

It's a metaphor. Hopefully this helps clarify things.

The version from David Foster Wallace’s “This is Water” commencement speech at Kenyon College:

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?”

And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?“

The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology

ideologies may function as prepackaged units of interpretation that spread because of basic human motives to understand the world, avoid existential threat, and maintain valued interpersonal relationships. ... such motives may lead disproportionately to the adoption of system-justifying worldviews. Psychologists generally agree that personality traits, individual difference variables, needs, and ideological beliefs seem to have something in common.

so in this sense memes are like little atoms of ideology aka "prepackaged units of interpretation that spread because of basic human motives to understand the world"
