I don’t know about comparing what was apparently an armed standoff were only Six adults and five children were killed in the attack - vs Tiananmen Square where the Chinese send their own soldiers to kill peaceful protesters and flush them down the drains as human goo.
The matter of fact is that the US hasn’t yet committed such horrific acts to such a large scale as the CCP did in Tiananmen Square. (Not that I agree with whatever they did in that bombing but it seems truly incomparable)
Reference from wiki:
> the bombing and destruction of residential homes in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by the Philadelphia Police Department during an armed standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization.
> the US hasn’t yet committed such horrific acts to such a large scale as the CCP did in Tiananmen Square
At least, not against their own citizens
> apparently an armed standoff
You could look to the Kent State shootings for a perhaps better comparison.
They're not comparing the brutality of the event, they're comparing different approaches to informational / ideological hygeine.
CCP suppresses 1989 by banning discussion of it.
USA doesn't have to suppress 1989 MOVE bombing, or the Tulsa racist uprising, or the atrocities that went down in gitmo, or the friendship between Jeffrey Epstein and previous and current presidents, or My Lai or Abu Ghraib or Haditha or Kunduz or Nangar Khel or Maywand District or Baghuz because the citizens just don't care.
USA doesn't have to suppress 1985 mistakes, because it acknowledges them and allows itself to be criticized. Claiming that censorship is somehow better because it's a proof that people care is absolutely ridiculous.
Citizens don’t care because if you show them an armed standoff where the police brutalized some people then they will say:
1. I’m not in armed standoff often so this is not impacting me at all. 2. The brutality seems to have come from city police authorities and I don’t live in that city.
Similarly all of those things you mentioned are not impacting people’s lives at all. No one will start any revolution over these things.
However the possibility of being forced down some drains as goo because you don’t like the government moves people more because: some people actually don’t like the government and they don’t want to become human goo
The comparable equivalent would be Donald Trump deploying the army to kill people at peaceful Democrat gathering or something.

You mean like what happened at Kent State?
