Do you think the truth typically lies at the extremes of reason? In my experience Occams Razor holds in almost every situation, especially with controversial topics like this.
Good for you
Nice investigation skill, but sadly not me. Would've been a funny coincidence, though.
Also, yes I did watch the video.
I'm not the one being rude here. I am currently working on reading all the comments, I read yours first so I responded to it first. I did not see the video link until after I responded. Cool your jets for sec and let me interact with my own post in my own time. Have a little patience, my friend.
So it has, lol. Not the easiest thing in the world to read every notification first, I'll get through it eventually
I'd love to see the video then

I would argue it does. One extreme wants to say; "Tienanmen Square was a horrible tragedy and China/ Communism is the evilest thing in the world", likely not true, but also, neither China nor Communism have clean hands. The other extreme wants to say; "Nothing interesting happened with Tienanmen Square and the West/ Capitalism is the evilest thing in the world", equally unlikely to be true, but also, neither the West or Communism have clean hands. In this case, Occam's Razor implies that neither of these extremes is reasonable and that the true story is actually some composite of both. I'm not using Occam's Razor as a form of neutrality, merely as a mechanism for determining when a reasonable conclusion can be made.
