The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.

      I can see how the phrasing of my comment could be taken that way. Edited for clarity.

      Here’s another article that claims him to be a “critic” of the Tiananmen Square “massacre”. A thing that objectively did not happen.

        Didn’t the US 4th Psyops Group literally admit to organizing Tiananmen Square in their recent recruiting video?

        It’s true guys, Tiananment Square massacre didn’t actually happen. I have an irrefutable photographic proof:

          Good one. If only you had bothered to click the link in my comment, you would see a well sourced article that does in-fact thoroughly debunk this propoganda that you’ve internalized so much.

          Some highlights:

          • Full tank man video (he leaves the square unharmed)
          • An eye witness account from a Latin American diplomat
          • CBS News agrees

          There’s more, but if you’re not willing to even consider that you’ve been lied to about this event, then there’s really no point in me putting in any more effort.

        More retarded Tankie propaganda. You will never find a legitimate source that backs up your claims.

        From the sites “About” page

        The second objective is to develop a correct theoretical line in particular… In short: pro-Stalin (against historical nihilism, anarchism, etc.), pro-China (for their chosen road of Reform and Opening Up and against “Maoism” and Sinophobia), and pro-“identity politics” (for a broad understanding of class and against the idealization of “patriotic white workers” as the revolutionary subject, etc.). We consider the populist strategy of courting brittle and ineffective “united fronts” by leaving serious questions of principle unaddressed a mirage.
