Meme aside, tomorrow is June 4th, or the Reddit Memorial Day™ for the Tiananmen Square ‘massacre’. I thought I might give a heads up for people who are not feeling like stepping into radio active waste tomorrow.

    As if I needed any more reason to not go on reddit.

    The western mythology around this event is just mind boggling. Few things get liberals foaming at the mouth more quickly when you push back on the state dept narrative.

    The prop piece Reuters published the other day was brutal. Like reading a middle schooler’s report on the event. I guess they just don’t even have to try anymore.

      It’s insane how all the brutal photos of the incident are all of the soldiers rather than the students that liberals cry about.

        It’s insane and it’s also just infuriating how dishonest and manipulative the propaganda is.

        It also says something about the pervasive white supremacy and chauvinism in the west that this one unfortunate event is probably the single most well known in thousands of years of Chinese history to anglos

    Be prepared for tank man, aka the guy who was able to climb on top of the tank and talk to the soldier inside and be calmly escorted away safely, be mourned for his supposed death and sacrifice. I’ve seen some claim that the government killed him after the video was recorded.

      Also are there any documentaries that accurately portray the events that went down that day? I’ve read about it but I’m curious if there’s videos about it.

        This one actually gives an accurate portrayal of the even using the wests own original documentaries about it before they came up with the “tanks making meat pulp out of protestors” crap. It have interviews from some of the leaders of the protestors and you realize how fucking narcissistic and evil they are. One girl crying because students were trying to resolve matters peacefully with the government and going on about how they only way for them to “open people’s eyes” was to FORCE the government to engage in a large scale massacre. Literally they were trying to get their people to get themselves killed so the could play the “the government is evil and murdering us” card. All these leaders, btw, got paid by the west and were brought over and given nice cushy lives once it was all over.

        Oh and just a heads up, THERE IS SOME GORY SHIT IM THIS VIDEO. At one point the protesters had tied an unarmed PLA soldier to a van and lit it on fire. They then put a hat and sun glasses on him (his burnt corpse) and took pictures mocking him.

          The more you read about the student protest at Tiananmen the more apparent it is that there was nothing Marxist about them. They totally excluded labor groups from even participating in the protest.

    Oh yeah, that one image Redditors barely elaborate upon and just assume the guy gets run over by China’s military tanks, either that or they show the whole video and assume the guy is killed off camera.

    Still rather bold for the guy to just go inside a tank and talk to the soldier operating it. If he was in Amerikkka, the soldier would’ve blown him up or something.

    Right on time History of China has to do a rebroadcast of the UK cable from back then and another episode to “revisit” it. Because in the millennia of Chinese history, this is the single most momentous moment you need to revisit literally every single year. No other reason for it, I swear.

      Aren’t most of the broadcasts from then pretty mundane and boring in which nothing takes place (as far as violent riots go)? I swear I even saw a clip in which the photographer of the famous Tank Man picture even said nothing interesting happened.

    Message to shitlibs: tank man might not have gotten run over, but your attempted color revolution sure did.
