Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?

It’s honestly hard to say.

Doing it today? Probably no. Communication isn’t nearly as censored as it was in 1989 China.

However there’s 2 possible ways I could see a “yes”.

  1. If the fascists are able to remain in power long enough too reach that level of censorship.
  2. If they’re simply just that god damn stupid, which I’ve seen little to no evidence to suggest they aren’t that stupid.
