    You speak of nobility and remembering the past but I’ve only seen this used as a cheap way to score political points on lemmy.world (and upvotes) for what that matters.

    Someone casually browsing who doesn’t know the event would only glean that the CCP is bad, but they would have no idea what the students were even protesting about. So much for remembering the past.

    As for nazis on the ballot, we have two presidential candidates and both fully support israel’s campaign of genocide and lebensraum.
