An account existing on Lemmy.ml doesn't make them a Marxist-Leninist.
I know lol, but it also doesn't mean anyone who is opposing the meme isn't one either.
I've seen my fair share of educated/intellectual people deny the circumstances of the Bengali genocide for decades until the Pakistani army went lunatic a couple of years ago and confirmed what was previously considered exaggerated fiction.
Tbf though, I'm fairly sure Tankman made it out alive without a scratch, but that overlooks the people who actually died in Tiananmen.
Not that the US is going to fare any better, especially with the empire beginning to crumble.
To be clear, nobody died in Tian'anmen square. The riots happened in various spots throughout Beijing.
