What nuance do you want for an event that didn't occur? Yeah let's have a nuanced discussion about Saddam's WMD now we're at it.
Also you can have a discussion about it in china and just with chinese people in general. Just not with a chatbot or as some inflammatory forum post. Which, frankly, is ideal, considering what doing fuck-all about disinformation has brought us in the west.

What do you mean it didn't occur? Something obviously happened, and it's only a question of whether my government’s version of the events is true.

My entire RedNote feed Americans whether it's true that George Orwell books are banned in China (they're not), and Chinese asking whether it's true that American schools have shooter drills. Of course I'd like to ask them about the first thing most Americans think of when they hear the word "China." Unfortunately, I can't, and I'm stuck with only one version of the events (and I'm not going to rely on Western Hexbear users to get the other version).

I'm glad history to you is finding the right person to confirm your already held beliefs. I think the word for that starts with an "r" and ends with "-acism."

Do not question this at all of course. There is no propaganda in America. We all are free-thinkers.

That's easy, it never is.

I'm responding to you responding to a person giving you a link explaining that very position.

Sorry, but I want to hear it from a real Chinese communist, not a western YouTuber. Find me a BiliBili (or Douyin or Rednote) video on the topic.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why are the linked video's sources not applicable? Are they too scary for you?

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Silence, white westerner. I only want to hear takes from Real Chinese Communists.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 2 points 21 hours ago

sorry, they're too busy governing China to care.

Like you do know the ruling party of China is communist right?

That sounds like a you problem, do something about it yourself.

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I tried. I couldn't find anything.

Damn, who could have guessed your arbitrary debatelord requirements would make it so difficult? Learn mandarin ig

That's the point.

I can accept that the Western version of the events are exaggerated. I can accept that the US has done worse things to it's own citizens. I can accept the protestors had poor motives.

I am begging the CPC to propagandize to me, so that I can become even more pro-China.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net -1 points 1 day ago

Okay, then learn mandarin
