"Pro Tiananmen Square posts get removed off of Chinese social media? No shit. Imagine if the January 6th protestors had strung up and set a bunch of the National Guard on fire and you posted saying they didn't go far enough, most places on the web would remove your posts, except maybe Elon Musk's twitter."

Pros: Any libs wanting to engage would have to either read more about the events leading up to and during the Tiananmen Square protests or admit that January 6th was a nothing event

Cons: none

That would be kind of funny. "Yeah, in Tiannamen Square a bunch of MAGA fascists attacked the police with molotovs and killed dozens of them then stole guns. All the military and police there were totally unarmed so they had to wait until armed soldiers could come fight the MAGA people!"

    "That's different because the evil Mao Zedong killed millions of people by squashing them with tanks and spraying them down the storm drains. Our own capitol police only killed via tasing them in the balls."

    That is assuming they are behaving in good faith. In their mind it is not the same because China is authoritarian and USA is not.

    Yeah I mean it is a case of "Our beautiful removing calls to violence vs Their barbaric political suppression" but at the same time, using January 6th in the bit is how it's possibly a way to break into their head.

    Take an event that is such a feature in their brainspace and ask them to imagine if it was so much worse than even their memories of the event. Imagine if the January 6th protestors really HAD been sent support and money by [spins wheel] Russia. Imagine they went around on their jeeps and trucks shooting police and National Guard. Ask them to relate to another group of people and how they might feel about a specific event of political violence in living memory.

    Libs were praising the HK rioters storming the legislature and see no problem with them turning around and condemning Jan 6th.
