    Looks almost like these people got run over by tanks or something.

    But that’s not possible because my reeducation camp told me that it never happened.

    I’m a socialist and I think the CCP is evil and only pretend to care about their people. I also don’t believe that centralization of power is ever a good idea. I just don’t get tankie idiology.

      This. The more power is concentrated the more heinous the actions typically become. A warlord slaughtering families or a village is a tragedy. A despot committing genocide is a Tuesday.

      Some of them were.

      There was a credible BBC eyewitness that said a tank fired its main cannon into an ambulance trying to rescue the dead. There was little in the way of mercy on that day. They were literally washing gore into the gutters afterwards.
