If I’m right it was the population who fraught back their oppressive regime but I can’t remember exactly when or where
Nobody knows who the guy was, who the guys who brought him away were, or what he was yelling at the soldiers about.

The westerners ARE wrong though, like the story I and I’m sure many others, including OP learned is directly contradicted by the evidence.
The British government’s public releases about China are not credible, even less so when they conflict with evidence.

Sorry, all evidence was censored and everyone who knew those people were disappeared too.
Same with anyone who knew those people and so on.

A handful of protesters killing cops and soldiers does not justify indiscriminate murder, particularly when you consider it the government’s responsibility to make sure protesters never get to the point that they feel the need to employ violence to achieve their aims. I didn’t think I needed to spell that out.
There’s a huge difference between “the famine never happened” and “The widespread crop failures caused famines in some regions due to ineffective policies, bad estimates grain production, and local conflict”.
The former is just as wildly ahistorical as the “Stalin did holodomer because he was evil” that’s taught in schools.
While that might work for someone whose only interest in the event is demonizing (or eulogizing) the USSR, if you actually want to know how and why things happened, a deeper understanding is necessary.
My take doesn’t begin and end with “china bad”.
As with any historical event, the context and events proceeding and following it are vital to be able to actually understand it.
No AES state is or was a utopia, and we can’t learn from their mistakes if we don’t understand how and why they made them, and how they responded to them.

I hope you didn’t read “cops responding with indiscriminate murder” to imply anything else.
The bootlicker is the person repeating the propaganda of the government actually oppressing them, even when the video disproving it is right there in front of them.
Every communist state to my knowledge has instant recall; if an elected official isn’t doing what you want, you can get signatures to force a recall vote.

Here’s the entire Tank Man video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk
You can see the square in the background.
I am not deflecting, I am trying to understand what you think I am denying.
Everything I’ve said happened, protesters lynching police and police gunning down protesters in the streets surrounding the square, is reflected in the wikipedia article, the only thing that I’ve denied, that masses of unarmed students were gunned down and run over by tanks in the square, is proven false in the tankman video, which I linked.
Wait I also denied that China claims nothing happened at Tienanmen square, that’s also proven by the official Chinese account of what happened in the Wikipedia article.

And the one where the admins took the vote, then ignored it and did the opposite of what the community asked.
That never happened. All votes are pretty easy to search if you feel like it.
I don’t know about any of the other things you’re talking about, other than a bunch of users getting purged during the first year or so for being transphobes or western chauvinists or whatever.
I would if the people overwhelmingly support that action, yes.
Because Crysis looked good, Chris Roberts mandated that Star Citizen would use Cryengine 3.
To make astronomically large spaces fit in the game engine from 2009, they made everything infinitesimally small.
So now due to the inaccuracy inherent in floating point calculations, instead of invisibly nudging things a few millimeters in the wrong direction, teleports people hundreds of feet out of their ships into space if they bump into a physics object, ladder, elevator, etc.
This is what happens when an ideas guy with no technical knowledge is making technical decisions.
