    It’s taught in every single school, information about it is online. It’s just not the western lie invented in the 2000s that it was unarmed peaceful kids versus tanks that were called in for no reason… They literally stole military weapons and massacred civilians then took over and barricaded themselves in a local school more than dozen cops died.

    The famous tank man photo? That guy wanted the tanks to stay to make sure the area was safe. He was protesting them leaving. There’s video of him that I guarantee people like you haven’t seen despite it being on YouTube.

      You think the story was invented in the 2000s? This was the story coming from press that were supposedly there or in touch with people there. We were hearing this after just after it happened.

      In the West we know little about what happened before other than protests that went on and were eventually suppressed by state violence.

      I doubt that whatever propaganda you were exposed to is any more reflective of the truth.

        Why? I’m not rooting for the CIA and they failed their color revolution in China. Maybe they should’ve stayed with tiny countries.
