One of the first casualties of the whole protest was an unarmed PLA officer that was tied to a bus by the protestors and burnt alive. Then mocked and photographed. They never share that photo around though.

Not true, they do ... And they claim that it's another instance of SeePeePee violence ...

Let me see if I can find the libbed up reddit thread where I saw it:

Not as upvoted as I remember, the post is a Midjourney selfie from tank man.

Westerners refuse to believe that about half the fatalities were PLA members because in their countries, the police would never be unarmed, never abandon their equipment, never hesitate to kill in retaliation.

Westerners also don't pity the murdered PLA officers because they view them the same as their own police: violent people that eagerly abuse their power.

I think that's the most eye-opening thing about this "massacre"

if this had happened in the US, the streets would have run with rivers of blood. It would've been utterly brutal. And the US would be the one rewriting history to try and pretend it never happened. It's always projection.

Yeah so much western propaganda is essentially just accusing this or that country of being like the USA. I genuinely don't understand why it's so effective

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Because the other half of the propaganda is convincing people that the USA isn't like the USA. No idea how that one works so well either thought.

The same reason why slave-ocrats said that enslaved people liked to be enslaved, but were in constant fear of revolts. They live in fear of being treated like they've treated others.

And they've been taught that history is over, there's no alternative, which means other places must be exactly like the US. It's inconceivable that other places could be run differently even while those places are thought of as other.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's even worse, they automatically assume those places must be worse. So if US politicians are being unaccountable corrupted bureocrats, the others must be complete tyrants, if US police is murdering and brutalizing people left and right in the open without any repercussion, the others must be worse than gestapo, and so on and on.

Sounds about right!

Imagine if BLM protestors had tied an unarmed, out of uniform, cop to a bus and burnt them alive what the libs would be screaming for. They would want outright slaughter.

During the New York Draft Riots, the New York Times machine gunned protestors.

In authoritarian America, citizens aren't taught the history of the New York Draft Riots and anyone who googles 紐約徵兵暴動 gets disappeared by their secret police! 😱😱

I asked an American about the New York Draft Riots once, and he gave me a clearly uncomfortable look. That said it all.
