Americans think they know about Tienanmen Square 1989 but somehow don’t know about the Philadelphia police bombing (yes, a literal bombing) a Black residential neighborhood in 1985.
No one talks about the police brutality and violence against anti-Vietnam war groups peacefully exercising their first amendment rights in the 1960s/70s. Veterans who were drafted to fight an immoral war of aggression overseas were then beaten by the police for protesting that war. In 1970, the Ohio national guard opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam war at Kent State.
Eric Garner, Tamir Rice (12 years old), Daniel Shaver, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Renee Good, Alex Pretti and far, far too many people were all murdered on camera. Millions of people protested the routine extrajudicial killings of unarmed Americans. But police killings increased every year during the Biden administration and Trump continues to throw people in the back of unmarked vans.
Anyone who believes the myth of American virtues is propagandized beyond belief. Americans judge the PRC (and every socialist country) by our own retelling of its worst blunder in history; Americans judge the US by it’s latest controversy while forgetting everything else.

I’ve not seen one mention of Tlatelolco massacre which was propped up by the CIA through the mexican goverment.
