    Because the Tiananmen Square and Uyghur claims have all been debunked. Even the intelligence orgs admitted they don’t have any evidence. Why allow the same debunked propaganda to be reposted by bots over and over?

    Do you have some evidence you’d like to present?

      Tiananmen Square was debunked?

      I mean, I was alive when the pics came out. Been aware of the censorship. Had friends from China and friends who worked there tell me about the complete avoidance of the subject.

      Oh, and I’m not a bot, though you could be protecting your psyche by saying everyone who pushes back on this is.

      It is just as foolish to not admit to the atrocities done by one government as it is for any other.

          You can acknowledge that the narrative presented by western media about these events is exaggerated without going full tilt into denial.

          Something did happen in Tiananmen Square. People were killed. The government of China does censor discussion of the events.

          These are facts, and when you try to deny them it only reveals that you are more concerned with protecting your worldview than with adhering to the truth.

            Haha. Lots of mental gymnastics in there. Or just being intentionally obtuse.

            Yes, something happened there, and people died. But it wasn’t anything like the western narrative, including lies about who died.
