Sorry I forgot to add “Ok but, were they really inside the square, or just near it?”
Spending the first 7/8ths of your comment dancing around the main issue (at a minimum hundreds, thankfully you at least have to admit to that since those are the official Chinese numbers, potentially thousands, of civilian protestors being killed by the Chinese military), laser focusing on some minor detail like it’s a great big gotcha, then brushing the whole thing off at the end with “Yep it’s bad, but it happens shrug” is exactly what I’m talking about
I guess I should at least thank you for so deftly illustrating my point though
A few hundred cities across the country is not “near it”
Something like half of the dead were cops or military. You should do some reading about where the weapons that killed them came from. Interesting stuff!

Like you just did? Focusing in on location? Instead of taking in the larger argument? Your hypocrisy reeks
My impression was that you guys were supposed to be more eloquent than this
eloquence is spent on those deserving it. Why engage civilly with you when it’s obvious you’re not interested in good faith discourse?![horsepoo-theory horsepoo-theory](https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=www.hexbear.net%2fpictrs/image/10dbd2ef-40c3-497e-a98f-63662235f497.png)
