World won’t forget Tiananmen Square, US and Taiwan say on 36th anniversary of massacre

  • I agree their censorship is too high in China, though, but I think it’s a result of siege theory.

    Buddy, fuck right the hell off. The USA is not the only country with free media. Small countries do it too. Al Jazeera is quartered in Qatar, and is critical of both the USA and China. China enacts the Great Firewall because they're power-hungry, not because they want to fucking stay safe, and they are not in any regard a third world country.

    • A grim poll shows most Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans. It's brutal - and true

  • Split semantics on exact wording if you'd like. A better word might be "solely". The Nazi party collected anyone of a variety of demographics they didn't like, including foreigners, LGBT, physically/mentally disabled, scholars, etc.

  • I've seen images and footage put out by journalists. I'm just not bothered to re-locate them for the sake of a tankie.

  • The US brings up its own horrible events all the time.

    I learned about The Trail of Tears, the era of segregation, and of the KKK in my history class in America. We make conscious efforts to be aware of and criticize our own faults - as well as those of other nations.

    There is currently LOTS of criticism of the US government for its participation in the massacre in Palestine. Claiming otherwise is lying. China is relatively unique in that it has committed atrocities, and refuses to allow anyone in its own country to acknowledge them. Both countries have done bad things. One country recognizes those facts and attempts to learn from them.

  • Since the steps for Palestinian genocide started before Oct 7, and the IDF has been okay with killing their own hostages in high-yield strikes, not likely.

  • This is the bit that I've had a hard time with. And, to put it in less snide allegorical terms: Israel is in many ways the "invader". They took land, took homes, that weren't theirs. That invasion has been justified through massive harm to their people, and the need for a "safe space" they can call their own. But while that's the in-person justification by individuals, the backroom justification used to ship the weapons is achieving a "Western presence" in the middle east.

    Something the Jewish community might not get is: They're not the only group that's been targeted for hate throughout history. The holocaust didn't even specifically target jews. We don't get to make a "Transgender state", or a "Black American state", and especially not displace others for that. In some ways the world needs to accept that, whether by 10 miles or 100, we'll still be neighbors on this planet and not totally unreachable. Set that distance, and it means you only get boiling points like 9/11 rather than shots fired in a neighborhood.
