Its not serious. I’m just poking fun at the tankies who would defend the massacre by claiming it didnt happen then say but if it did happen america was behind it.
No just a joke. I’m not making an argument so strawmaning doesnt apply.
Also it wouldn’t even be a strawman because tankies(you) actually respond like that every time. Someone even linked a video of a tankie doing exactly that.
There are tankies in this very post doing this very thing. You saying “strawmanning” is just deflection and denial, just like how your favorite authoritarians deal with this day in history. Just deny, deny, deny.
probably referring to this
I didn’t check the sources myself but this does feel very convincing especially with the longer tank man video which doesn’t fit the narrative I always hear for the picture
That video is the exact person I was mocking. Its pure historical revision from a blantant propagandist. No one claims the tank ran anyone over, thats a strawman from people like the man in your video. The tank man is a powerful picture because its a man standing up to the army just after they slaughtered 1000s of uni students. If you felt convinced by that you should look into the history of what happened its a short read.
Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.
It was a big protest and China tanks needed to be sent in so I think 1000 is reasonable.
This is so sinophobic! Dont you know that never happened and if it did it was because of America and capitalism.
Explain please

So you’re just strawmanning

No they didn’t. So still strawmanning

Enjoy the taste of those boots.
No there aren’t, and you should lay off the thought terminating cliches
Yeah there are, you’re just strawmanning.

Last time I checked it wasn’t 1k+ and numbers were criticized but yea

Yup. I would say around 500-800 but sure. At least we have an order of magnitude.
Vibes based statistics
No. I looked at different testimonials and believe this estimation is safer and closer to a potential reality.
