      it’s only 300 people so it’s not a massacre argument

      That’s not what I’m saying at all.

      Combined with the above photos, this seems closer to the truth than the official 300 Chinese story.

      The photo of students filling the square is from days before the massacre, the square had been evacuated peacefully, as evidenced by the Tank Man video showing the tanks leaving the empty square, with no piles of burning bodies and “tank pie” as the UK alleges.

      300 people getting killed by cops due to the government’s failure to compromise and meet their demands is a tragedy, the fact that the protesters felt they needed to resort to violence to achieve their aims is a part of that.

      You don’t need to make up shit about tanks murdering 30x more people and then liquefying their corpses.
