In a video on Oct. 13, Instagram influencer and photojournalist Motaz Azaiza shared footage of the rubble of an apartment, the site of an Israeli bombardment that killed 15 of his family members.

He turns the camera on himself first, visibly upset, and then shows the scene—the ruin of the building, a bloodstain, a neighbor carrying a child’s body draped with a shroud.

In response, Meta restricted access to his account.

    Wow look at all these big horrible corporations that everyone knows are horrible siding with modern day nazism. And all of this could have been avoided if they gave these fucking companies china consequences the instant they started misbehaving instead of doing fucking nothing.

          That the massacres happened in side streets, largely military vs. local non-student supporters, doesn’t mean that the students weren’t threatened with “move now or there’s going to be blood”, or that those massacres would not be connected to what went down on the square, even if not directly on it. As such your semantic quibbles are meaningless. After the hardliners in the CCP won out when it comes to how to handle the protest the whole party turned away from Deng’s reforms for what about ten years or so, hardliners apparently fearing that if they reformed anything, people would want even more reforms, as evidenced by the Tiananmen protests.

          The whole thing is just perfect proof how stuffy, crusty, and calcified the CCP is in general, and how out of touch with what people actually want.

            Barsoap, typing bullshit from somewhere in West, pretending to know more about China and Chinese natives, as he eats his 3rd Popeye’s burger… that is a LOT of projection, since you yourself do not know shit about what you want for your country.

            Let us see what can be done to undo your brainwashing about Tiananmen.

            If you still have typical white supremacist opinion about CPC after this, tough luck.

              Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems you agree that there was a political demonstration and violence associated with that political demonstration left many people dead.

                You are worthless to talk to, if this is the level of historical understanding you possess on matters. This is how a 5 year old child thinks. The whole thing was fueled by CIA, in the beginning as media manipulation, and during the incident by guaranteeing “democracy protestor students” vacation trips and scholarships in West.

              Barsoap, typing bullshit

              Is there something in the facts assessment part of my post that you disagree with? I certainly didn’t see you addressing any of it, all you did was quote my editorial opinion and call it bullshit.

              white supremacist opinion about CPC

              Gaaaaah. “Racism is when criticism of the party”. It’s getting boring.Talk to a Chinese person who’s not a party member FFS. How do you even fucking know I’m not Chinese, please tell me.

                There are barely any facts in your word soup. I see more lies than facts, similar to what everyone parrots. I addressed it with factual breakdown of dishonest manipulation by Western media during the incident.

                Also, how can I talk to one of the 2-3% hanjians, when CPC and its wings have over 300M members, and over 95% of citizens support CPC? Are you saying that you have full knowledge of Tiananmen incident, while having practically none?

                How do I know you are not Chinese? Your history, especially with all the German posting and “tankie” anti-communist hatred. Took about 90ish seconds.

                  There are barely any facts in your word soup.

                  I mentioned, for example, the location of the massacres: The side streets. And the people massacred weren’t students. I said that the protest was dissolved by threat of violence, not violence. I didn’t really get into the struggle inside the party of how to deal with the protest but I did mention the outcome.

                  Are those things correct, yes or no? Is it some “soylent koolaid BS I have been fed”? It may not please your tankie sensibilities but it’s definitely not the “Army rolled over students” line that became a urban myth in the west. This here sums up the press failure quite well, but it would also be mistaken to call it a deliberate propaganda move – those things just happen. It’s carelessness, and China being the authoritarian state it is and constantly denying anything even remotely untowards happened that day in Peking isn’t exactly helping correcting the record.

                  Are you saying that you have full knowledge of Tiananmen incident, while having practically none?

                  Fuck no I’m not a historian. But, again: You actually have to tell me what I supposedly got wrong before I could remedy that issue. Are you here to talk to me and possibly educate, or to shout?

                    What kind of massacre exactly happened? It is clear you did not read any of what I shared, and I will not point out why, because your opinions are going to default to an “anti-tankie” stance everytime, which just sounds to me like a thinly veiled pro-CIA stance of how things happened in Tiananmen.

                    I gave all the material, and this discussion ends here. I am not interested in talking to ignoramuses that will go to lengths to not listen to others, and justify their half knowledge positions on historical matters by hook or crook.
