Exactly, how about the much more relevant ethnic cleansing (according to the UN), with upwards of 30.000 women and children killed in Palestine perpetrated by Israel and Supported by the US right in this moment?

Or the myriad of american wars that slaughtered millions in South America, Asia or the Middleeast for that sake.

Both the US and China are empires and abide by brutal empire logic that washes their own history. These "but Tiananmen square" posts are grotesque to me as a europeean when coming from americans. Absolutely grotesque seen in the hyperviolent history of US foreign policy.

Both are of course horrible.

But that isn’t censored by ChatGPT

Where is the censorship?

They’ve fixed it since, but it used to differ on whether Israelis and Palestinians deserve justice.

Virtually all countries within the European continent have been perpetrators of colonialism and genocide in the past 4 centuries, several in the last 90 years, and a few in the last 20 years. It is a banal observation.

The reason why the string "tiananmen" is so frequently invoked is that it is a convenient litmus test for censorship/alignment/whatever-your-preferred-term by applications that must meet Chinese government regulations. There is no equivalent universal string that will cause applications to immediately error out in applications hosted in the EU or the US. Of course each US-hosted application has its own prohibited phrases or topics, but it is simple and convenient to use a single string for output filtering when testing.

You'd be hard pressed to find any global power at this point that doesn't have some kind of human atrocity or another in it's backstory. Not saying that makes these posts okay, I fucking hate them too. Every time China farts on the global stage it invites pages upon pages of jingoistic Murican chest-beating as we're actively financing a genocide right now.

This is for 2 reasons: 1) these are not just China's "backstory" but very much part of its present modus operandi; and 2) China tightly censors the flow of information domestically (GFW, control of all traditional and social media companies, etc.) in order to prevent any public discussion of these atrocities. As such they hardly enter the social consciousness at all or at most in very limited fashion (some offline discussion between close family, friends).

The US has done a lot of fucked up shit (slavery, genocide of Native Americans, just to mention the two most egregious), but at least we can now call out those evils, there can be discussion, calls for reparations, and an awareness so that it never happens again. Germany and Nazism is another good example.

> Both the US and China are empires

- who told you this

- credible sources(3-letters)

lol, still don't understand why americans still believe these shit after all things happened in all these years

i mean, all these photos and videos pictured in gaza, but it's debatable whether isreal is commiting genocide in gaza

but tiananmen massacre? it's so real bacause there're only photos of a tankman and some bicycles, ah, of course, therein are "evidence" by color revolution leaders, which, coincidentally, connected with US agencies

even one of them admitted they're lied about this

there'sa saying, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me

but fool me at kosovo, then at iraq, then syria, then bucha, then xinjiang

so i'll say, americans are not fooled, americans know these're lies clearly, americans just pretend to not
