Do you know what the date is today?

Today is the anniversary of the Tiananmen square massacre.

Take a moment to watch this video.

Dictators hope that if they make us afraid to speak the truth for long enough... we'll forget it.

And the next generation will never learn.

This is how history is erased.

20年前的视频怎么看起来这么旧了

bro was ahead of his time

At 1:48 . It was almost the answer in 1984 . Tell me what you want me to say.

With Palantir and the rest … soon in America . Everything is fragile .

The Chinese did everything right at the time. It allowed them to preserve their country and become the world's leading economy. Of course, the West would have preferred to see them fragmented and weak, mired in internal strife and conflict — like the Russians.

What happened in China was morally indefensible oppression.

Students that stood up for the truth and basic freedoms paid with their lives.

Their memories should be celebrated. Not the government that chose to perpetuate violence instead of dialogue.

"Freedom" and "truth" where?! In the EU? Maybe in Canada? Or in the USA? Take the USAID dick out of your mouth already. They’re not paying you anymore.

Yeah, you can still say these things somewhat openly in the EU and US. Maybe not for long, but that doesn’t make the wrong thing right. Or are you a communist?

RT is blocked both in the EU and the US.

Doesn’t change what I said.

It’s quite sad you can’t see China’s internal strife and conflict in those interviews. If they say the wrong thing, they could be locked up in a cage and tortured. “Everything right” gfy

In editing, you cut out 100 Chinese people who voiced opinions unpopular in the West, 50 who simply didn’t want to offend foreigners, and leave only the crazies who think they’re fighting the system and pretend to be afraid.

Another video of slop for some Cannes festival is ready. Time to get a grant from Western foundations and blow it on hookers.

Let’s not forget about Tibet with its high-speed trains, and the Uyghurs who are being forced to study and work instead of reading religious nonsense and blowing themselves up.

You’re one jaded bootlicker

This is a bad take dude. How dare they defend themselves from western subversion and aggression! Time to take your L and look at your own leaders and government who are parading around the world committing atrocities in the name of democracy.

Chinese AI is getting pretty good! I'm impressed

🔥🔥

The same thing is coming to the EU and UK first and probably in the US next. Self censorship is still censorship. Remember the lessons of history or you’ll end up repeating it.

This video has nothing to do with China or "what about the west and all their atrocities?"

Its about the human condition, and their responses to a simple question that they "can't" answer. There are layers of shame, fear, legit ignorance, and apathy that we can all learn from.

When you're by yourself answering questions in front of a camera, your courage is gonna need to be strong to answer truthfully.

So while we judge them, we also need to put ourselves in their shoes. What would you have said if you were them?

What would we have to gain by actually speaking truth to who knows who? Probably way more to lose..

If I'm being honest, the best I'd do is say " turn off the camera and we can have some real talk"

Also totally contradicting my previous point and possibly sounding like a Chinese bot..

The US govt wants to memory hole stories like the Killdozer or the guy who flew a plane into the IRS build in 2010.

They and their media assets do NOT want anyone taking inspiration from these regular people that got pushed too far by government, and snapped.

I bet most people here don't even remember that IRS plane story? It happened right down the street from me, otherwise I probably wouldn't know either

Cancel culture at its best. 😱

Here is a completely different take.
