"that asshole" has been working below minimum wage, one unexpected financial burden away from homelessness, for the last four years to bring you Lemmy for free
What I'm saying is even if you disagree with his views, on the things that actually impact you, he's been a great positive in your life
Just because someone does a selfless act, does not mean that they have carte blanche to spout dangerous misinformation and propaganda
What Dessalines spouts is by and large uncomfortable truths that are paved over by Western government misinformation and propaganda, your reaction is that of someone clinging to the lies they were raised with rather than accepting the truth.
I'll be sure to tell the families of those who died in Tiananmen Square that that was all just "western government misinformation"
find me a post/comment where Dessalines denies that Tiananmen Square ever happened
https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md#what-about-the-tiananmen-square-massacre
is saying that the story was largly sensationalized with proof saying it never happened?
It denies that a massacre happened in Tiananmen square.
but claims are mostly about never acknowledging that anything happened.
The claim from """tankies""" is mostly that no massacre happened in the square, but that deaths happened outside of it in clashes between armed protesters and the PLA. Exactly as Dessalines FAQ.
Yes. I do think that it is correct.

Here you go. FYI his reddit name was parentis_shotgun
Do you have reading comprehension issues? He doesn't deny it happened in that comment, he calls it a US-backed color revolution and says that the PRC was right to put it down.
Calling the entire protest a color revolution is a matter of opinion, but it is an undeniable fact that many of the most high-profile protest leaders were US-backed.
