Hong Kong was a British buffer state that deserved to be crushed and Tiananmen Square was where student protestors were given weapons and materials to attack Chinese officials/police officers. Even your average communist can tell you that when you attack police/etc you should EXPECT a response despite the remarkable restraint they showed. Much more than American police at the very least.
Instead of shitting your whole pants and crying about propaganda, how about you apply some actual critical thinking and tell me why X is propaganda and how so instead of knee-jerk deflecting into "DUH TANKIE COMMIE IZ BAD"
Example, why is Taiwan not there's when it was created by a fascist government in exile that was justifiably exterminated by the communists after collaborating with the Japanese?
So much anger, so desperate for control. You have my sympathy
Anger is the natural emotion one feels when they become aware of the world and the damage the west has done. Where there is desperation, there is a demand for change and the imperialist west has engineered such desperation for the world over millions in exchange for cheap goods.
I don't need your sympathy. "I pray that you will grow intellectually, so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into, in that world picture. I pray that all the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out" ~ El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz
You lived in ignorance, but now you see? I'm sorry to say the problems of the world aren't limited to west versus east
Of course not, that's exactly why you don't get the "world picture".
