Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.
It was a big protest and China tanks needed to be sent in so I think 1000 is reasonable.
Yup. I would say around 500-800 but sure. At least we have an order of magnitude.
Vibes based statistics
Why do you avoid answering to the comment with fact in it ? https://lemmy.nz/comment/15846421
Why do you keep resorting to lazy personal attacks?
Because you keep choosing to answer weak arguments. Just to precise, in what was it a perosnnal attack ?
And you keep choosing to resort to lazy personal attacks. And you know which ones are personal attacks, don't play dumb
Ho I am 100% convinced your a paid troll, sorry if it hurt you. But you still avoid answering.
If that was true you wouldn't keep replying. You know I'm not, you're just using it as a personal attack
Lol no because I love to play with troll. I you were not I would have let it go since long before. Since your paid you should work
Did that even make sense in your head?
It does if not I wouldn't do it :D
Ok. Well it didn't make sense out of your head
Very neurotypical of you ;)
Not really
No. I looked at different testimonials and believe this estimation is safer and closer to a potential reality.
And those would be?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre - Death toll section
I believe I checked the numbers at the French page some time ago, and based on the diversity of reports and their background, I personally believed that it was around 500. I do get that people can estimate a bit more or a bit less though.
So Wikipedia is what convinced you?
Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia based on sources. All claims include a source.
What do you want more?
Those articles being on a controversial topic, have been moderated and are pretty well done in my opinion.
You should ask him about this : https://lemmy.nz/comment/15846421 Seem to be too much for him.
We got it. They're avoiding to answer or acknowledge your comment.
Not my comment though. And he answer and acknowledged my comment fine. But not this one I wonder why. Edit : typo
He, not 'it'
Sorry, my autocorrect failed me. I corrected.
jlai.lu moment :D 🇫🇷
Yeah, I think he is a paid troll but no need to be insulting or hurting.
I’m not insulting 🤔 just joking with the fact that French speakers and English don’t really go well together
Ha no I mean me, I didn't want to misgender, you weren't insulting. Sorry my English isn't really good
All good ;)
So it was Wikipedia that convinced you?
I was convinced something happened way before this, but for the number of deaths, yes, that was my source.
Ok. They'd fail you for that in highschool
For sure, that’s why I passed then.
Stop talking nonsense please.
You used Wikipedia as a source and passed?
Standards sure have dropped
One of the sources, or just get the sources quoted in wikipedia and use them. Ofc you're supposed to check on multiple sources, but using wikipedia isn't bad.
Not sure what you have against it.
Good god, I knew education standards had dropped but didn't realise they'd dropped that much
Instead of being mean and changing subjects, do you have anything interesting to add?
Yeah. Use better sources
Okay, have a good day
