I wonder why an event that happened almost before I was born is so important to some people here. Why aren’t we showcasing how monstrous Hitler was burning people for racism then? That’s far more fitting to the situation of most western countries that are all leaning on fascism and racism. Some western countries like France are not far from crushing protestors with tanks btw.
But I guess the cold war world of 40 years ago is more comfortable. There was this nice black and white taint where capitalists were the good guys against evil communists. And we must now bring back all the sins of China and USSR to never forget what they did, so can be blind to what’s happening now I guess.
People throwing “tankies” everywhere are worth no more than any Russian troll honestly.
I think you’re underestimating the simple anti-authoritarian spirit in many. Why are Tiananmen Massacre posts so popular? Because they’re forbidden, and freedom of expression is a big deal for many, many people. Not just Americans
That’s pure anti-china propaganda. Anti-left propaganda even. It’s a Godwin point.
There’s a saying in French : it’s easier to see the straw on the neighbor nose than the beam you have in the eye.
If you want to criticised China you should talk about the current, these days genocide they’re doing. Or about Hong Kong. Tiananmen is a Godwin point, in my generation you’d only know about it if you’re exposed to liberal propaganda. Because as a historical event it is irrelevant.

Forbidden? Hahaha that’s so funny!

If Hitler or his party was still around and denying the Holocaust that that would be a comparable analogy. But it’s not, so it isn’t.
