And if something did maybe happen, it’s the CIA’s fault

Yeah .ml will be enough
I wonder if there are comments here that I’ve blocked
Who wants to risk it and repost this to memes in .ml?
You’re right. TWO culturally shocking things happened that year.

They felt the same way the Kent State Students felt before the attack.
That tens of millions of people across the nation were about to be slaughtered, broadcast on tv around the world?
It wasn’t tens of millions deaths if that’s what you’re implying. An atrocity but always good to stay to the facts.

Very legit sources. Everyone I know goes to prolewiki and johnmenadue.com lol
Well I can’t exactly quote CNN for you to show you the counter to Western propaganda, can I? Tell me a “legit source” that isn’t skewed by Western media.
All legit sources are members in a conspiracy to discredit China. Only the studious journalists at prolewiki and johnmenadue dot com will tell you the real facts.
I mean, if you need a legit journalist saying it, here’s a Western journalist that used to work for the Washington Post:

But, ultimately, there’s not going to be a new York Times article saying that China didn’t slaughter people for no reason because that’s against their goals as Western journalists. I guess you’d just have to believe that the news lies about things. But I guess you believe that the news always tells the truth and that they’re infallible.
“A lot of people died but not in that particular spot,” extremely helpful.
You suck
I’m sorry, I’m afraid that if I do not use an illegal VPN, my government will punish me for clicking those links

What a funny way to ignore information that counters your viewpoints.
Why are people so laser-focused on this one event that happened over three decades ago?
Because there is a real effort by a government to prevent people millions of people from remembering.
Are you for real? Should we forget the people that are silenced in this world?
No, just wondering why the obsession with this one event. This particular event gets brought up more on lemmy.world than perhaps any other historical event. I would ask the same if people kept bringing up the great molasses flood and cracking the same old “slow as molasses” joke.
Because it’s a world famous event that is virtually unknown in the host country. There are usually examples for each country.
The US doesn’t know anything about the war crimes exposed by wikileaks.
Russia knows almost nothing true about the Ukrainian war.
The UK has superembargos (usually about celebs and royalty) which is only reported on abroad.
Thailand doesn’t gossip about its royalty.
Etc.
