    Of course not. I’m not saying nobody died or nothing happened… I’m just specifically disputing this claim I’ve heard that they ran over a large number of people and “washed them down the drain”. There’s a few photos such as your link that show an isolated person or two who had been run over, but nothing to the extent of the claims that they had “mashed” hundreds or thousands and “washed” them away.

      Yes, ignore the stark reality of the Chinese government painted by the facts presented and instead focus on the hyperbole used to relate the digusting discontempt displayed by said facts. Surely this is a great way to engage with the truth of the matter.

      I hope you’re just painfully socially inept, and if that’s the case I sincerely apologize for this. But I suspect the hyperfocus on linguistic flair instead of the message is to intentionally mislead, so fuck off, tankie.
