    OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about “tankie” censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn’t adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we’ve debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It’s really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who’ve been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.

    They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.

    With no hint of irony

      It’s always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful

    I don’t know why we are expected to spend any amount of time engaging with this infantile garbage. Who let them out of the kiddie pool? Now they are spewing their putrid shit all over the adults’ table. I’m not having a discussion with these entitled manchildren, they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.

    Think of it this way, would you spend hours trying to argue with a toddler who thinks the moon is made of cheese?

    I’m reading A. B. Abrams - Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences: How Fake News Shapes World Order. And I’m confused, he states that the Tianamen square protestors were protesting in favor of a stricter adherence to Maoist principals but also at the same time that were turbo libs and wanted western style “democracy”, not to mention the “anti-government insurgents”

    Please send help. All of this can make sense in a disorganized movement but he does a poor job of explaining this imo.

      There were different blocs. There were both weirdo libs and anti-Deng Maoists/ultras involved, who wanted diametrically opposite things. The western liberal narrative is that the maoists were a small bloc (if they acknowledge them at all) and the liberals were the bulk of the protesters, and AFAIK the ultra narrative is that the maoists were the main movement and the liberals were tangentially present wreckers.
