Absolutely nothing of note happened in China in June 1989, right?

Those things? Also bad.

Incredible that two things can simultaneously be shit, but it’s true.

Congrats. That is exactly what I wrote.

Half this site can't accomplish holding two thoughts at once

Weird how I only ever hear one of those events used to dismiss an entire system of economic organization though

I guess you’re not listening then because “capitalism fucking sucks and is responsible for countless atrocities” is a pretty common tale these days.

Imagine thinking that people are opposed to post-scarcity economics, and not the whole "let's kill everyone who disagrees with us until we achieve such conditions"

I use those events in the US (and many more) to condem capitalism. I also use Tianamen (and others) to condem state capitalism.
