Here is ProleWiki’s article.
It might not be mentioned because, although there were protests in the square, all deaths were in streets near the square instead of in the square itself.
There is also nothing metioned on June 4 concerning any protests: https://wapbaike.baidu.com/item/6%E6%9C%884%E6%97%A5
Dude, that’s just an article on the literal number 6. Lmao
It is not, I can understand that much chinese, nice try.
6月4日 = 6. month (moon cycle) 4. day (sun cycle)
This was your original link: https://baike.baidu.com/item/6/15190726
Nice try, troll
How would that be possible? They didn’t edit their comment
Well of course, who else would be running the CPC bots?
The comment containing the lik was not edited, as you can see. Stop these argumenta ad hominem, it's childish.
Most of the sources there cant be verified, don't exist or contradict the article
Examples:
Don't exist: [2] https://www.mango-press.com/the-tiananmen-square-massacre-the-wests-most-persuasive-most-pervasive-lie/
Can't be verified: [1] Vancouver Sun, article written in a google doc, authenthiticity can't be proven, source of source in bottom is a link that doest not work.
Contradicts the Prolewiki article: [13] CBS News,
Quote: "But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it — mostly in the western part of Beijing. Maybe, for some, comfort can be taken in the fact that the government denies that, too."
Hyperlink in quote leads to dead page, so archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20090606124946/https://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/06/04/world/worldwatch/entry5061564.shtm l: "We could hear shooting. A large group of students and civilians at this corner of Tiananmen Square were facing lines of soldiers.
We could see burning vehicles on the Square and we tried to approach discreetly, but were told the soldiers would certainly shoot."
Quote from ProleWiki article: "Around 5:00 am on June 4, the 3,000 remaining protestors peacefully left the square. No one died in the square during or after the protests and most deaths were caused by the foreign-backed faction of students."
You see? The sources are very bad, their contents also twisted around, like in [13]; the source was used to "proof" that "[n]o one died in the square [...]" and "[...] deaths were caused by the foreign-backed faction [...]". If you would use this kind of sourcing in any scientific work, everyone would laugh at you.
Don't let yourself be blinded by the 'truth' that sounds the most comforting
The mango press article was available up until at least June of this year. It was retrieved last year. This shouldn't be news to you. You clearly show knowledge of archive.org by using it, so I don't understand why you have to point that out, when you can check if it was available and now isn't?
The CBS news article is a recounting of one person telling their story of Tianamen. It links, for whatever reason, to another different persons telling of their story.
Yes I know all of that, I know that mangopress also has a telegram account and that personal experiences can be easily faked.
I was just bored and needed something to waste time on, why not hypothetical bs about "evil ccp big brother skynet country" narrative
