    I referenced the guy who stood in front of the tanks the day after the Tiananmen Square incident on Lemmy the other day. Then I went to bed. When I woke up, I had a reply from a guy saying it was fake.

    I was just waking up. I thought it was some young kid who was claiming the tank guy was AI images or something. Which would be bullshit.

    But no. As I woke up, and clicked the link he provided, it turned out to be a 45 minute youtube video claiming the Tiananmen Square massacre never happened.

    I only saw maybe 30 seconds of the video before turning it off.

    The first thing he says is something to the effect of “Now just because there’s videos, and photos, and witness accounts of the Tiananmen Square massacre happening, doesn’t mean it actually DID happen!”

    Instantly closed the tab. Oh, it’s one of THOSE people.

    I innitially thought he was trying to say tank man was a conspiracy or something. No, he was saying the entire incident NEVER happened, despite mountains of evidence it did.

      Welcome to China!!! It’s not just that singular incident either, but that’s definitely the go-to. I just can’t trust anything or anyone not willing to accept their faults. These are things we learn from. If we forget them, we get Nazis! Or whatever the Chinese equivalent of them is, the CCP?
