Except Ashley Babbitt, who is a hero for breaking into a secured area of the US Capitol during a riot and getting shot.
The Tianamen Square protest was for free speech, democracy, and to prevent China opening up to global capitalism... Which students and union leaders believed would lead to stark inequalities and wealth/class gaps.
Here's a photo of factory worker Unionist bikers on their way to the protest.

Which, to be fair, they were right about. They just underestimated the level of prosperity it would bring China overall
Which part of your comment is about this protester complying?
Sounds like you want me to just comply with your parameters.
Just trying to figure out why you decided moving the goal post was the right call instead of addressing the actual subject matter.
They didn't move the goal post. You used one event to compare another. It is perfectly legitimate therefore to talk about the original event. You may wish the most recent US event to be the topic of discussion, which is fine, but that doesn't mean it's illegitimate for the original Chinese event to also be discussed.
If you didn't want Tiannamen Square to be discussed you shouldn't have posted an image of Tiannamen Square.
I'm fine with the topic of Tiannamen Square but that looked like a copypasta that didn't address the compliance topic. They had something they needed to say and dropped it in with no attempt actually tie it to this post instead of TS in general.
