    I remember getting into an argument on here just after federation (I think) about how would western powers “invent” ten thousand dead people, as though the three sources for that number couldn’t just lie (none of whom were there). They were getting quite heated but also lots of laugh reacts???

      I remember there was a lot of arguing about this around that time. People were literally repeating the “tanks ran over corpses repeatedly to mulch them” story. Top minds of reddit-logo .

          Same in Canada. I remember being taught about the Tiananmen “massacre” in a really graphic and honestly traumatizing way in sixth grade. What I don’t remember is being taught about the genocide of American indigenous peoples with nearly the same level and type of emotion attached to it.

      I once saw a vid about the credit score being real but it was like piloted in one or two cities in China and it was for stuff like returning your city sharing bike to the correct place in a decent state or something and if you didn’t do it in a proper way a few times you’d be blocked for renting one
