It's also a totally different scale - 4 vs. a number in the hundreds to thousands.
We don't even know the numbers for sure because it's been clamped down so massively, vs. Kent State, where we know exactly what happened.
I dug up my AP US History textbook and found that it was covered in half a sentence. So I guess this was how I missed it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6x8Zfgh8HSuCbRdB8
I never said we shouldn't care about Kent State, nor have I said that it was unimportant.
What I said is that Tiananmen was several orders of magnitude worse, and while anyone in the US can look up Kent State and other horrible occurrences in their history books, many of them found in schools, or in any other place they'd like, people in China cannot look up the Tiananmen Square massacre.
I am replying to someone claiming that the US has done the same with Kent State as China has done with Tiananmen Square and that the events were equal to begin with. So if you can show me where the US has tried to cover up the fact that Kent State happened at even 1/1000th of the effort that China has gone through to cover up Tiananmen Square, or that the loss of human life between the two is similar, this might be a productive conversation.
In the mean time, you're responding to a point I never made and words I never said.
