Who wants to risk it and repost this to memes in .ml?

Risk what? Would anything of value be lost?

Well, to be perfectly clear, here in Mexico happened a students massacre in the Three Cultures square in 1968. The CIA was involved.

Nice whataboutism. How hard can it be to understand that China having a shitty government does not mean that the US is perfect?

Americans will post a meme about Tianimen Square while eating a Chiquita banana.

Americans can, and will, openly discuss this stuff, and think badly of their government for it, and won't get in trouble with the government for doing so publicly.

Tell that to the college anti-war protestors getting beat by police for literally using their first amendment right to protest and speak, and NOT blocking movement to classes at all.

Tell that to Chelsea Manning.

Sure, the US is mostly freer with information than a country that is unabashedly authoritarian. But ask Ron DeSantis what he was doing at Guantanamo, or the CIA what they did in Latin America. If you don't think the US hides plenty from its citizens, you haven't been paying attention.

Our Tianimen Square was Kent State, or maybe the MOVE Bombing, or all of the documented police violence against protesters and marginalized people. Fat lot of good it does that we can talk about them when nothing changes.

I think it makes more sense to hold our government to account than point out the flaws of people we don't like.
