1. This is called “changing goalposts”
2. The US isn’t censoring anything about that event
3. According to Wikipedia: There was no order to fire, and no guardsmen requested permission, though several guardsmen later claimed they heard some sort of command to fire. - the government wasn’t even the ones who ordered anything. In Tiananmen Square the Chinese ordered their soldiers to kill and mush their own citizens.
This discussion isn’t intellectually honest so I am going to disengage.

- vkou 2y ago> The US isn’t censoring anything about that event Because it doesn't have to. And that's not a compliment. As it turns out, it doesn't need to censor it, because it is perfectly fine with it. Not a single person was held accountable. And nobody will be held accountable when it happens again. And it will happen again, because fundamentally, nothing about the equation has changed. A China that was so confident in its security that it didn't feel the need to censor 4/15 would not actually be a better place.
