newly uncovered photo of Tiananmen Square, June 4th 1984
whoops no this is UC Davis in 2011. the cop pepper spraying these nonviolent student protestors filed for worker's compensation claiming "psychiatric damage" due to having his name released and won more than $38k USD in compensation.
Please be careful about posting this where Americans can see. The regime will lower their credit score and they'll be barred from buying a house.
In communist China you can't buy a house because you give up 80% of your paycheck to pay your billionaire real estate investor's mortgage
People are buying houses?
They spent so much money trying to cover this up/bury the picture
lol thanks for reminding me
Documents reveal UC Davis spent $175,000 to erase pepper-spray incident from Internet
the picture
And then that cop ended up becoming a meme.
For anyone who wasn't around, this was I think during Occupy (the social movement demanding economic reforms in the wake of the 2007 economic collapse. Obama said "lol no" and crushed it with overwhelming force". Those kids were just sitting on the sidewalk doing ineffectual nonviolence stuff. The cop just walked back and forth down the line spraying them in the face over and over. UC Davis caught a lot of flack for basically torturing students for having the gall to ask for simple reforms but nothing really changed. Probably seems quaint given the escalation of police violence in the last decade.
Not to mention the cops on roofs with sniper rifles aimed at Occupy leaders
He also got paid $38k for doing this. Source
We really just need a standard All-In-One response to 10,000 dead tanks washed down canals with bodies pro-democracy whatever the fuck.
Just something with all the relevant sources, refuting all the bullshit, and nothing gets posted but that. we're wasting so much time responding to this bullshit every single day, to people who believe in an unfalsifiable fairy tale based not on history but a religious conviction that china-bad and anything that counteracts that must be a deception regardless of source or content.
There might be better, but the RedSails article seems solid.
You can’t break someone’s religious faith with factual evidence
You're never arguing to win over the debatebro dumbass. You're arguing for all the lurkers that also see your post.
You should try anyway tho
so many anti-communist arguments are copy paste, our answers should be too lol
r/The_Deprogram does a great job of this and similar topics
i cannot believe they only paid him more than 38000 workers' rights have gone to damn hell
I'm sorry, you are right that there is oppression in the US, but to suggest that this incident is somehow equivalent to the Tiananmen Square Massacre, where people were run over with tanks, and their remains hosed down the street drains, is absolutely disgusting.
The term "false equivalence" doesn't even begin to describe this. The disrespect for what happened is so reprehensible that it completely invalidates any point you might be trying to make. People died in Tiananmen Square.
video of tank man NOT getting run over, followed by a bunch of clips of American police cars running over protestors
Note, those tanks are leaving the square.
According to the western narrative, those tanks just spent hours gunning down unarmed protesters, then crushing their corpses into liquid.
And then stop to argue with a single dude trying to block them from leaving.
people were run over with tanks, and their remains hosed down the street drains
no they weren't. about 300 people died in clashes outside the square, more than half of which were PLA and police.

Of course, no one died in Tiananmen Square.
Lmao 🤣
Oh shut up.
People did die. Loyal members of the comunist crade died at the hands of liberals paid by the US government. It is a sad moment were we should remember just how evil the US really is.
I agree that this would be a false equivalence. But, the title is a form of persuasion. By saying "this was done by an evil villain" and then saying "no, this was done by who you thought to be the hero" the post can catch some liberals off-guard before a defense response kicks in and this could begin their path leftwards.
