    I’ll ignore the fact that you’re lying about what got you banned for this response.

    Even the western far right media has moved on from the original Tiananmen narrative, which it acknowledges was false. The actual events played out more accurately to exactly what China has always said they were.

    The only people still pushing the original shit are anticommunists and racists because it’s more convenient to their goals to perpetuate it.

    Try actually listening and learning the actual facts from people in the left and then you won’t run into this problem. You’re getting banned and ridiculed by actual leftists because you’re further right and less educated on this topic than the fucking media of far right conservative tories ffs.

    This is what happens when you get your political education from fucking reddit.

      This is a bad argument, the telegraph reports something that someone said based on incomplete information at the time and suddenly their take is worth something because it agrees with your own views?

        The telegraph reports on the leaked cables from wikileaks which confirm that diplomats had no reason to believe a massacre was happening, if you’re going to debatelord at least pretend you finished reading.

        'even tory shitheads have given up on this line, why are ‘leftists’ pushing it?

              It doesnt matter if theyre pro or anti anything. They just dont deal in fact.

              They dont stop pushing a narrative because it turned out to be false, they stop if they think it wont bring immediate monetary gains.

              What the tories talk about is a measure of what the current grift is for quick cash, not what stories are factual or inaccurate.

                The fact that the Tories are reporting on it doesn’t make it a measure of if it’s true or not- they’re reporting on something from wikileaks which directly contradicts the entire western narrative. They’re certainly not doing it because it’s ideologically consistent with their goals.

                Media and news reporting is going to be heavily filtered by what advertisers will tolerate- which isn’t necessarily going to be factual or accurate either.

                  None of that matters if its from the mouth of a tory, dude

                  If a tory is speaking, it is to trick you into giving them money. You cannot say “this has to be true/false, because the tories said …”

                  If a tory said it, it was a ploy for cash. Nothing to do with anyone elses ideologies or goals, or reality.

        See this is just a complete refusal to engage with the topic or learn anything. Have you grown as a human being at all in the last 10 years or did you just decide one day that you have achieved political nirvana and there is never anything else you need to understand or expand your knowledge of? Your refusal to actually learn anything is a deep character flaw and a huge personal failure.

          That’s the difference with you. I learn in universities, reading reports and works. Not on echo chambers on the web. I just like to argue with people on the internet in a language I don’t master while I’m in the train.

            Unlike you I actually have 2 degrees. If you engaged with this topic in this way in a university the history professor would fail you.

            You don’t give a fuck about sources, evidence, or anything. You are utterly closed to new information. You are one of the most deeply propagandised people on the planet, from the most deeply propagandised population on the planet.

            How the fuck are the sources they used “echo chambers on the Web?”

            What are your sources then? Or are you just trying to invoke the idea of being so well read to cover up the fact you’re full of shit.

                she also cited and linked to all the original sources which the worldaffairs site used, packed full of famous CCP-shill state-owned-media sources like: the BBC, Reuters, the Washington Post, CBS, the Wall Street Journal, etcetera

                You all must be the biggest fucking rubes on the planet if you’re seriously citing a site which claims that CNN has a left wing bias

                How do you function? Do you just lose money on scams 24/7? (donating to your political parties counts)

                I have a lot of issues with sources I know are right wing because they often spin things in ridiculous ways. Despite that, there’s so much censorship on the internet the only places to look are on the fringes or in other languages.

                  Would it make you feel better if I cited a blog that takes lines from other sources out of context to change the message?

                    I literally don’t care what you cite, I’m just calling out the blog you’re citing now as ridiculous.

            I’ve had my problems with hexbear but you’re literally doing the meme of going 👉😩👈 LALALALALA when someone actually backs up their claims with sources. Like why even bother asking for sources if you’re just going to dismiss them as “bad” no matter the quality?
