Like it’s not just filled with fabricated events like tanks pureeing students, it completely misses the context and response to tell a weird “china bad and does evil stuff cuz they hate freedom” story.
The other weird part is that the big setpieces of the western narrative, tank man getting run over by tanks headed to the square are so trivial to debunk, just look at the uncropped video, yet I have yet to see 1 lemmiter actually look at the evidence and develop a more nuanced understanding. I’ve even had them show me compilations of photos from the events and never stop to think “Huh, these pictures of gorily lynched cops, protesters shot in streets outside the square, and burned vehicles aren’t consistent with what I’ve been told, maybe I’ve been mislead?”
I just read the entire article you linked and it seems pretty inline with what I was taught about what happened in school. And it definitely doesn’t make me sympathetic to the PLA or the government.
Edut: saw a comment further down that it is a default deepseek response for censored content, so yeah a joke. People who don’t have that context aren’t going to get the joke.
Is this a reference I’m not getting? Otherwise, I feel like censorship of massacre is not moraly acceptable regardless of culture. I’ll leave this here so this doesn’t get mistaken for nationalism:
It’s by no means a comprehensive list, but more of a primer. We do not forget these kinds of things in the hope that we may prevent future occurrences.
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I’m not on board with that. Thanks for clarifying. I thought you were being sincere for a moment. This is good satire. Carry on, please.
You must be more respectful of all cultures and opinions.
Ah dun wanna 😠
In my opinion it should have been the politburo that was pureed under tank tracks and hosed down into the sewers instead of those students.
The western narrative about Tiananmen Square is basically orthogonal to the truth?

classic lemmy ml
It really is so convenient, there are so many CPC members, but they all happen to be near a conveniently placed wall that is more than enough.
The amount of people who don’t realize this is satire reminds me of old Reddit
It got me, for whatever that’s worth.
Not everybody has heard every joke, buddy.
Is it though? I really can’t tell.
Poe’s law has been working overtime recently.

Are we calling the communist party of China and their history of genocide and general evil, some kind of culture now?
Can’t believe how hostile people are against nazis, we should have respected their cultural use of gas chambers.
Communism was never the problem, authoritarianism is the problem
The cpc is and has always been the definition of authoritarianism , and now it’s hyeprcapitalist authoritarianism.

It’s a fucking joke FFS. It’s the standard response from Deepseek.
Thank you, that provides context that was missing for the joke to land.
How dare they ask!

Huh, I used to make a joke about how there’s never been a “Bloody Monday” in history. I learn something new every day …
