Well if you’re already reading a wiki article I’m not sure how you’d have trouble matching the source. As I said elsewhere they got the distribution wrong, but you’re making it sound like you’re just here to JAQ off.
You thought wrong. So back to the question, what cause would he become a martyr for, that the other dead couldn’t be martyrs for?
Probably the official CPC figure of 241 killed in total. Most of the serious estimates broadly agree - NSA said 180-500, and the Tiananmen Mothers organisation have identified 198 of the dead.
I think the numbers are a bit off - official Chinese figures were ~20 student protestors, ~20 police and army, and about 200 other protestors were killed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If your child came out to you, how did you adjust?
7·1 day agoOne of my close friends came out as gay to me in highschool and I said “I know? Everyone knows. Well, everyone except you, apparently.” and nothing changed between us. I don’t advise the first part of it, even if everyone did know, but the second applies - start using their new pronouns and otherwise continue on as normal. That’s all they want, for their gender to be respected and to not be treated as different or strange for it.
A martyr for what? There were already plenty of dead to martyr, what difference would he make?

2·2 days agoIt’s not vastly more than every Chinese person planting 1 tree a year. If you pay people to plant 10 trees a day, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year you only need to employ one person in every 2400 to get close.

6·4 days agoSure, but I still rate the racism, homophobia, animal cruelty, use of sweatshop labour, and Zionism as worse. Copyright laws are unfair to consumers, while the others cause actual harm.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?
1·4 days agoIf you talk about Philip the Greek in the UK on the other hand, it absolutely does not refer to Alexander the Great.

Funny: Home of the Haha@lemmy.world•I have fond memories of these days
30·5 days agoThe Youths (20-somethings) at work have a new 3d printer, and were explaining how they were using the printer to print additional parts for the printer, so I said “oh, like downloading Limewire pro” and the blank looks made me feel so old.
I always found it pretty easy - just start speaking french with an English accent and they’ll start speaking English just to make you stop.
After the session the DM pulled me aside and reminded me two other members of the party have also died, and are still with us.
Sounds like you’re probably fine then. Or approximately fine, at least - last time I did that to a player I meant the party had enough funds for a reincarnation ritual, so apart from turning from a halfling to a gnoll the biggest consequence was the other PCs having to explain to the dead PC’s parents that their daughter had been eaten by a Froghemoth.

172·6 days agoHamas should accept the ceasefire, disarm, and let a Palestinian civilian government rebuild.
Oh come on, it’s been 70 years, do you really think Palestinians never tried this? Do you not understand that there were events before the Al-Aqsa Flood that directly precipitated it?




B, obviously. It’s a beheading, not a benecking.
