I mean, have ever the US government acknowledge how fuck up was that the army killed pacifist protesters and nobody was persecuted about? How about starting with that. About the reception of posts criticizing what happened on Kent State is hard to know, because I have never see on my life anyone talking about it. I guess you would need an HBO series showing it for Americans to learn anout their own history, as it happened with Tusla, because that the only way they learn about that things.
The Kent State shootings had nothing to do with the US Army or the US government. The Ohio National Guard shot those kids. At least pick up a fucking history book if you’re going to try deflecting with something completely unrelated.
As we all know the Ohio national guard has nothing to do with the US government
Has China ever admitted to the atrocities in Tiennanman Square then? There, see how utterly irrelevant it is to kent state and makes absolutely no sense? That's what you sound like.
Most Americans already know lmao and we all agree it is bad, that's the difference, as opposed to this (gestures towards you.)
A brief search on Kent State tells me that the President put together a Commission to figure out what exactly happened. Which then forced the National Guard to re-evaluate their tactics in such situations and led to them adopting non lethal tactics. Also there are plenty of memorials and the like up in that area.
As compared to Tiananmen Square where they censor the ever loving shit out of any mention of the incident.
