Just keep dropping this link on the hexbears whenever you can:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre

They're either clueless teenagers that only know the things they've learned from TikTok or working for whatever the Chinese equivalent of glavset is. Either way, they tend to make themselves scarce when that link is dropped on them.

Why would we make ourselves scarce when some one drops a link to the wikipedia article on Tiananmen Square?

Technically, Tank man ran over the Tank. Easy to see how people got that turned around.

Doesn't look like posting that link did anything

Can I get a :debate-pervert: from a lemmygrad comrade?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking the most Redditor-ass reply of linking to Wikipedia of all places on a topic they are already familiar with is useful. Do you believe the Reddit myth about wumaos being shot whenever they see the phrase "Tiananmen Square Massacre" is true?

Do they make themselves scarce? You haven't done your research then: https://hexbear.net/post/301934 (technically OP on Lemmygrad but it counters your premise still)

This is either a bit or a masochist lol, just straight up inviting the dogpile.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Yeah I get like 50 responses to my comments everyday... been reported as a bot multiple times. Given their tactics, my suspicion is the hexbear is a 50 cent army hive, but haven't confirmed this yet. Could be just kids that spent too much time on TikTok that don't know how terrible the PRC is. Or a mix of both. But likely just 50 cent army.

But meh, if it's wasting more of their time than mine, we're winning.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

But likely just 50 cent army.

Sorry, but I'm actually not allowed to get paid for my China posts because of a noncompete clause I signed from when George Soros hired me as a crisis actor. I'm not allowed to be a paid actor in any other conspiracy theories right now, so I'm just defending China pro-bono to keep my posting skills sharp so I can try to get on as a wumao once my contract is up.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Sir please keep the good name of Mr. Cent out of your Liberal mouth. .50 Cent got shot 9 times and recovered to be both a great rapper and the protagonist of a really bad X-box shooter. You accomplishments pale in comparison with his career.

What's a 50 cent army bro. Is that some bazinga brain NAFO inside joke or something

The internet has turned your brain to soup.

Here, I'll post an article as well, hopefully nobody "makes themselves scarce" because of it: https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/

Oh no... they deployed... The Link!

The religious faith and certainty Liberals have in the significance of the Jun 4th incident is utterly bizarre.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

this is one of the dumbest posts of all time. it should be in a museum

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh no, that link appears to have broken my internet!

now my web browser can only take me to this page: https://newint.org/features/2021/12/07/feature-how-british-colonizers-caused-bengal-famine

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Sure more past grievances from fascist hexbear. Yeah yeah the British were horrible colonizers. I can say that where I live.

But how about we discuss how you feel about the Tiananmen Square massacre. But of course you can't because you're afraid of the repercussions of discussing it even today, don't you?

You know they teach about it in China, right? You're so far up your own ass you're just telling stories about stories you've been told and none of them have anything to do with reality.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

I feel sort of a warm, minty sensation. I really appreciate the students willingness to boldly confront the Deng government to voice their opposition to the imposition of liberal market economics, and I'm sympathetic to their position that social conservativism and a very restrictive public culture was not in line with communist practice. It also demonstrates the delicate balance of power between the party and the people.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tiananmen Square? That was thirty years ago, why are you bringing up past greivances like a fascist? Kind of sus to me dude

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

The chilling effects of that massacre exist in China to this day. It's something that's blocked by their nationwide firewall and people refuse to discuss it out of fear of having some trouble with the authorities.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I do love how you keep playing to Tiananmen Square card like it's all 5 pieces of Exodia against Hexbears (supposedly) and it repeatedly has no effect.

The times in your past where it's worked, it may have been with teenagers that support China to be edgy.

We're educated who understand China's faults and side with China over US/UK/Can anyway. But you simply can't comprehend people that think China's positives outweight it's negatives without them being paid 50 cents a post.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Why? We all know that about 300 people, mostly pla soldiers and insurgents, were killed in fighting blocks away from the square, while all the students in the square evacuated peacefully after the pla issued a final ultimatum.

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

You really think none of us have read that article huh?
