Just because someone does a selfless act, does not mean that they have carte blanche to spout dangerous misinformation and propaganda

    What Dessalines spouts is by and large uncomfortable truths that are paved over by Western government misinformation and propaganda, your reaction is that of someone clinging to the lies they were raised with rather than accepting the truth.

    I'll be sure to tell the families of those who died in Tiananmen Square that that was all just "western government misinformation"

    but claims are mostly about never acknowledging that anything happened.

    The claim from """tankies""" is mostly that no massacre happened in the square, but that deaths happened outside of it in clashes between armed protesters and the PLA. Exactly as Dessalines FAQ.

    Do you have reading comprehension issues? He doesn't deny it happened in that comment, he calls it a US-backed color revolution and says that the PRC was right to put it down.

    Calling the entire protest a color revolution is a matter of opinion, but it is an undeniable fact that many of the most high-profile protest leaders were US-backed.
