      Guy literally just underneath this comment saying that “that whole thing was fake” in reference to the Tianenmen Square massacre.

      It’s insane how some people will still insist that there are no tankies on Lemmy, and no war in Ba Sing Se.

        I don’t see that comment. I searched for “whole thing was fake”, and your comment is the only hit.

        I see lots of posts on lemmy complaining about people like that, but I never seem to actually see the people myself. I’m honestly not sure why that is. Maybe it’s just the kinds of threads I read?

        (Scrolling and in this thread; there are a few deleted comments; maybe that’s whats going on. And there are also a few comments that seem a bit defensive - so I suppose those could be examples of the people the thread is about.)

          mod Removed Comment Did you just use the tank man photo unironically? Are you not aware that that whole thing was fake? The tank is heading away from Tianenmen square, and literally not one student protestor died by

          @Crow_Thief reason: misinformation

            The fact that even this comment got downvoted is wild. This comment section really is a dumpster fire, legit respect to the mods here prob working overtime
