lollontee posted:sure, but what was the reason why the Tiananmen narrative must be controlled, again? fear of foreign propaganda? the solution was to publically treat the subject as taboo, which has resulted in the majority of the chinese people being unaware that such an event ever happened, or that it had wide societal consequences, or the reasons for why the situation deteriorated to the point where socialist revolutionaries saw it necessary to shoot into crowds indiscriminately, using disciplined volley fire and reload routines.

how can anybody not support a country that has so firmly grasped the ultimate truth that everything is better with rocket launchers?

Anyone older who was living in a big city remembers the protests. It was in Xian, Changsha, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei etc. Like it was a nation wide event by the time of 6/4. Macau and Hong Kong had huge 'sympathy' protests on the 5th. Shanghai, after the square was cleared in BJ, promised not to use marshall law on protestors. There was a labor strike and I guess like 1/3 of workers just didn't show up to work 6/5 and 6/6. People barricaded the roads and sat on the train tracks. When a train accidentally ran over and killed 5 protestors, people showed up and burned the train and beat the driver. More train burnings were attempted on empty trains but they got stopped. Similar stories in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, etc The event is so important to the western narrative it's hard to trust anything you read now, you really gotta look for primary sources from 1989. But no one alive would forget this event, its just overshadowed by many other events like the GPCR before it and the insane economic growth of the 90s to today that happened after. It's just not felt as a turning point in Chinese history, maybe a moment things got out of control on both sides. I know older people who 'regret' they were too cowardly to go to the protests in their city, cause now it feels like it would have been a good story of their youth. A moment of rebellion before they conformed. Aging hippy poo poo. Young people might not know about it much like young americans don't know about Kent state. But if you tell them what will they say? "oh really. okay I didn't know that". it's not really that important in 2022 Antonymous has issued a correction as of 20:55 on Aug 18, 2022 |

Every red blooded American remembers where they were when James Floyd personally burned down Minneapolis PD. I took a community college course with someone who took a selfie in front of a torched cop car. It was the most important event of our lives. Unless you were inside that day I guess lol

and what did China learn? We don't want movements that can be coopted into anti-government riots, we don't want a color revolution. We don't want images of the state using martial force against civilians. So we nip it in the bud. Censor topics that get people heated online, even (especially) celebrity gossip - this passion can spill over. Break up big organizations, don't allow large public gatherings when they might become a locus of negativity toward the state. The internet is one big democracy wall so we will take down the more scandalous posts. And it worked, even if it is heavy handed, china didn't become like the Balkan states.

is this doing a bit? expelling ammunition still has the rocket, which is very hot, landing somewhere. usually somewhere a ways different from where the expelled material lands (I.e. somewhere possibly not on fire) which seems like a bad idea for wilderness firefighting. but hey I’m not a firefighter

Well I think the rocket, even as hot as it is, isnt as good as spreading a fire as the very large fire it is likely used on, and presumably it sprays so much fire retardant material it more than makes up for the scorch marks where it lands. Honestly it seems like an interesting idea.

like, if I was at a house fire and saw that thing rolling up I'd for sure think that's a bad idea, but it does say 'forest fires'

The artillery is fired in (basically) a parabolic arc. close to the target the munition expelled whatever it expels, and the munition keeps going along its arc until it hits the ground. whatever is expelled is generally much less capable of cutting through the air than the munition itself (in this case the rocket) so it will not follow that same arc when it gets in the air, and will generally go much closer to straight down, or follow the wind. If it’s expelling right above the fire on a steep parabolic arc, the difference between where the munition and expelled material land might not be that far apart. But if the piddly little amount of retardant that can be fit in a rocket is mattering to the fire, I’m thinking it’s probably not a giant fire in the first place. but, again, definitely not a fireman

I saw 64 protest with my own eyes, in Guangzhou, when passing through a trackless trolley bus station. I was in grade school. You never forget national event like that.
