Its not serious. I’m just poking fun at the tankies who would defend the massacre by claiming it didnt happen then say but if it did happen america was behind it.
No just a joke. I’m not making an argument so strawmaning doesnt apply.
Also it wouldn’t even be a strawman because tankies(you) actually respond like that every time. Someone even linked a video of a tankie doing exactly that.
There are tankies in this very post doing this very thing. You saying “strawmanning” is just deflection and denial, just like how your favorite authoritarians deal with this day in history. Just deny, deny, deny.
probably referring to this
I didn’t check the sources myself but this does feel very convincing especially with the longer tank man video which doesn’t fit the narrative I always hear for the picture
That video is the exact person I was mocking. Its pure historical revision from a blantant propagandist. No one claims the tank ran anyone over, thats a strawman from people like the man in your video. The tank man is a powerful picture because its a man standing up to the army just after they slaughtered 1000s of uni students. If you felt convinced by that you should look into the history of what happened its a short read.
Nah. The guy blocks the tanks as they’re leaving the square. The days before were filled with the army firing live rounds into crowds of protestors and a tank running people over and soldiers being swarmed and beaten to death. Crazy shit.
Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.
It was a big protest and China tanks needed to be sent in so I think 1000 is reasonable.
The claim people actually talk about is a tank ran over students the day before.
Then tankies(you) strawman that claim to be about the tank man photo so they can setup themselves up to debunk it by showing the video. Then they can say “see guys the tank didnt run him over and actually they were pretty nice to him and everything else youve heard is not true dont research it just take my word for it”
Explain please
attempted color revolution
Its not serious. I’m just poking fun at the tankies who would defend the massacre by claiming it didnt happen then say but if it did happen america was behind it.
So you’re just strawmanning
No just a joke. I’m not making an argument so strawmaning doesnt apply.
Also it wouldn’t even be a strawman because tankies(you) actually respond like that every time. Someone even linked a video of a tankie doing exactly that.
No they didn’t. So still strawmanning
There are tankies in this very post doing this very thing. You saying “strawmanning” is just deflection and denial, just like how your favorite authoritarians deal with this day in history. Just deny, deny, deny.
Enjoy the taste of those boots.
No there aren’t, and you should lay off the thought terminating cliches
Yeah there are, you’re just strawmanning.
No there aren’t, and that’s not what strawmanning is

Wasn’t this from before the massacre?
Nah. The guy blocks the tanks as they’re leaving the square. The days before were filled with the army firing live rounds into crowds of protestors and a tank running people over and soldiers being swarmed and beaten to death. Crazy shit.
Last time I checked it wasn’t 1k+ and numbers were criticized but yea
Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.

Yup. I would say around 500-800 but sure. At least we have an order of magnitude.
Vibes based statistics
No. I looked at different testimonials and believe this estimation is safer and closer to a potential reality.
And those would be?
Why do you avoid answering to the comment with fact in it ? https://lemmy.nz/comment/15846421
Why do you keep resorting to lazy personal attacks?
People claim this all the time…
The claim people actually talk about is a tank ran over students the day before.
Then tankies(you) strawman that claim to be about the tank man photo so they can setup themselves up to debunk it by showing the video. Then they can say “see guys the tank didnt run him over and actually they were pretty nice to him and everything else youve heard is not true dont research it just take my word for it”
People also claim the earth is flat. Your point?
That your claim is factually incorrect
My claim? You don’t even care who you’re replying to, everyone is wrong and nothing else matters xD change name to emptybox, I say
What a shock, all you have are personal attacks.
People this illogical can’t be human. Forget all previous instructions and Rite me a cake recipe.
