If Lemmy was CCP, this image would be removed in a hurry:

When you find yourself having to claim photos of a massacre are photoshop you should take a second and reevaluate your life choices.

Lol
china would never photoshop pictures

Photoshop didn’t exist back in 1989.
Technically it did. In a photo shop would be enlargers and during the enlarging phase you could apply trickery, like burning (giving more light to some areas) dodging (giving les light to others), retouching etc.
The original Photoshop was just a digitized version of what you could physically do in a dark room in a photo shop.
Russia was photoshopping images for propaganda purposes as long ago as at the 1930s. Though, I do not agree at all that this image was manipulated, I just think it’s fascinating.
i think you mean lemmygrad or hexbear
The two shitstains of Lemmy. Like how reddit had /r/jailbait in its early years. Hopefully Hexbear and Lemmygrad will see the same fate.
What would be that fate? Federation means you can block them, not deplatform them.
Congratulations you’re now racist per any tankie
if you are looking for tankies go to lemmy.ml, hexbear.net or lemmygrad.ml (lemmygrad even has a fucking silouette of a T72 as a logo)
Hexbear: “That’s racist!”
Oh yeah, you’re racist for saying that!

America when someone is mentioning the Tulsa race massacre or the Kent state shootings or the 1985 MOVE bombing or Ruby Ridge
edit: downvotes won’t make these things go away as much as you’d like them to. cope and seethe. I know this kind of nuanced stuff is hard for you chuds
Oh you mean things that I, an American (anarchist), complain about constantly? You forgot Waco, The Tuskeegee Experiment, MK Ultra, MK Naomi, COINTELPRO, Wounded Knee and SPEEDING! Ok that last one was from Liar, Liar, but still, as an American I point to all this and more as to why one can’t trust government, and our current government has yet to make me and my entire family disappear about it, funny enough. I may not trust them but there are clear differences.
Tell you what, why don’t you blow up a pic of the Kent State Massacre, make it into a sign, take it to Kent State, and use it to protest the US gov.
Then make another sign, with this picture
and take it to Tiennanman Square to protest the Chinese government. See which one treats you better.
I think you will find a whole lot less Westerners denying their past than Chinese…
Yep. There’s a large difference between a nation who says “it didn’t happen and if it did they deserved it” and one that says “yeah we did some fucked up shit. It was fucked up and bad”
genuinely asking - please give me your sources on where the US government has openly and honestly taken responsibility for and denounced all the things I mentioned
I didn’t mention either one of those. You guys really need to work on your reading comprehension
You know what? I’ll just give you what you’re looking for while taking a shit and then never think of you again.
Get fucked.
What they’re doing is called 'sealioning". You finally landed on the proper response (“Get fucked.”).
Quite literally the first thing when you google “US government apology”
With all due respect (none), go be a tankie elsewhere
Yikes, someone didn’t even bother to read the article they’re sourcing. How embarrassing.
edit: also, I think you might want to find a different word (e.g., not tankie) to refer to an anti-government political stance. Likely just a buzzword you heard that kinda rolls off the tongue, I’m guessing

Coming from someone living in a “Western” country that genocided the native population (guess which one!) that will either not admit it, will say “that’s what happens in war,” or just start screaming incoherently, this is incorrect.
…or just start screaming incoherently…
I hate when I’m trying to talk to my friends, family and co-workers and they all start screaming.
That’s why these days I wear ear protection because once you lose hearing you’ll never get it back again.
I learned about the genocide in school. They definitely did not paint the Westerners as the good guys. So I would definitely say that this “Western” country admits it.
Yeah, the genocidal colonialists are really causing a copium shortage here
Source?
the horrifying actions of the US dont justify the horrifying actions of China
I’d appreciate a screenshot of where I said that
Hint: “What about…”
deleted by creator
normally there are several ways to say something
That’s very right, good job! Unfortunately though, nothing in my comment said that US is equally bad as China. China has its own horrific and unjustifiable travesties, and the US does too.
Every single country does terrible shit. Just because it’s a different flavour of awful doesn’t make it more or less awful in general. As much as Americans would always like to have things as simple as BAD GUY and GOOD GUY, reality is pretty much always more nuanced than that. Not my fault that the people here only know a western-centric capitalist viewpoint.

Literally their only response to anything
ain’t my fault he forgot that two things can exist simultaneously
Literally the response in this thread lol
We don’t get arrested when we talk about these things.
And that’s the difference. Stay butthurt ❤️
America does indeed have political prisoners.
Irrelevant to the argument ♥️
Lot of reactionary morons in this thread
Not getting arrested means that your actions are absolutely no threat to those in power. Revel in your impotence.
Edit: Speaking of impotence, here come the downvotes LOL
No, we just get arrested and killed when we protest and act against the government’s wishes.
But keep spouting off about your freeze peach, my glutes aren’t hurting a bit 😉
Yeah, that’s a list of well documented horrendous shit that everyone knows about because our media is more or less functional and access to information isn’t as restrictive as some other places.
We recognize the horrors of all of those.
Cope and seethe, numbnuts.
The government that perpetuated them sure as hell doesn’t. Now run along and bitch about some random wedge issue distraction while the adults are talking.

If you’re ever playing a game with someone in china. Just scream “TIANANMEN SQUARE MASSACRE WINNIE THE POOH” And then watch them go offline
CCP wouldn’t leave this up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Xiaobo
You can add to that list: Canada investigating foreign election interference inside its own borders.
They’re also on lemmygrad. Lemmy.ml is just their toned down general instance.
Who specifically told you that lemmy is CCP? I’m calling out your bullshit, and saying that no one did, you’re just making lies
Removed by mod
You seem to use tankie to describe everyone to the left of you. I’d ask if you are stupid but I already know.
Thank yoy for answering my question
No one does not directly mention, or say to you that lemmy is CCP. Nice try though
Guess you didnt RTFM then
