“At the State Council press conference on 6 June, spokesman Yuan Mu said that “preliminary tallies” by the government showed that about 300 civilians and soldiers died, including 23 students from universities in Beijing, along with some people he described as “ruffians”.[229][238] Yuan also said some 5,000 soldiers and police were wounded, along with 2,000 civilians.”
300 dead and 7,000 wounded sure soundss like a massacre
You gotta read the whole thing. There wasn’t significant violence in the square, but there absolutely was elsewhere in the area. So they’re right to say there wasn’t a massacre in the square.
The soldiers don’t count towards the total unless you wanna claim it was a massacre of pap and pla members.
Those are both true though?
Even Wikipedia says there wasn’t a massacre in the square and that there were violent clashes where protesters killed cops.
Kinda weak to talk shit about a group of people when you’re not even federated with em though…
Ok so we have to be federated to a nazi instance to talk shit about nazis? What’s your point?
Yeah, I guess that is my point. Fight them instead of talking shit.
