What are you on about, you filthy capitalist pigdog? Are you trying to imply that something happened on Tiananmen Square on the fourth of June 1989? Preposterous!

Well, SOMETHING happened, but honestly China HAD to do it and then cover it up because of CIAnarchists and also because of the WESTOIDS blowing things out of proportion as usual, smh

Nothing happened at Tiananmen Square.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, the CIA made me do it.
And if I did, the students deserved it.

Good golly, the implication that anything of historical noteworthiness has happened at Tiananmen Square is certainly preposterous. As I recall, April 15th to Jun 4th 1989 were particularly boring too, with literally nothing at all being noted during that time.

Looks like everyday in Palestine and Lebanon.

Fascist regimes murdering innocent people so the elites can cling to power another day. Some things never change, and I wish they would.

Israel, in any case, is running its current atrocity at an order of magnitude or two above Tiananmen, horrific as that is.

Does not make neither of these worse or better. We should not compare like this

‘Tis just a flesh wound nothing like what those imperial american dogs do.
