    Evidence that something didn’t happen? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?

    I’ve seen evidence of a handful of deaths in the square, a dozen or so armed men who fired on tanks at the entrance routes to the city, and a half-dozen soldiers were lynched.

    The British cable that talked of tanks running over bodies until they were mush and washed down the drain was fantastical nonsense and proof that many westerners will believe anything as long as it’s negative of China.

          What you wrote appears to be skepticism that it was a massacre. What I provided was photos of a massacre. I’m not sure why you think that’s consistent.

            I provided skepticism of the British cable (which forms many westerners conception of what happened) that talks of thousands of corpses which needed to be ran over with tanks and washed down the drain in order to hide, which did not happen.

            I said a handful of deaths occurred in the square, and the evidence you’ve shown confirms that. The most gruesome photos are of the same unfortunate soul who appears to have fallen off a wheeled vehicle.

              You’ve now made a false dichotomy of your “thousands of corpses ran over with tanks” strawman, and “a handful”.

              Conveniently for you, this excludes the truth - several hundred dead victims.

              This smug sophomore bullshit, along with supporting authoritarian dictatorships, is why everyone hates you tankies.
