The meme makes a joke by comparing banning tiananman square memes to the books 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. In 1984, any outside information is censored by The Party to maintain their authoritarian regime. In Fahrenheit 451, any books deemed offensive to any group are banned and burned by the firefighters. This suggests that this subreddit is an authoritarian regime with censorship,
Nah it didn't I've been studying propaganda from every side for a while now in college and consistently socialist propaganda just seems cooler. Of course that doesn't mean anything good but just in terms of presentation it looks better than most western propaganda.
I think that’s because Soviets made simple-looking designs to resonate with more people and using simple iconography that was quicker to recognise than any of the western symbols because populism or some shit I guess. China copied that because it worked. Also all socialist propaganda posters use bright colours that really resonate with bleak western posters. Just look at this shit from the White army during the Russian civil war
you guys clearly haven't watched any wwii-era donald duck cartoons, those are examples of great western propaganda. even the simple "I want YOU" poster with uncle sam goes really hard. also i think you're underestimating just just how badly a lot of socialist propaganda sucked, esp when socrealism really took off in the ussr post-ww2. like just from an artistic point of view i can sometimes appreciate very early soviet posters but others are hot garbagio
It's a city square in the center of Beijing, where Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It serves great importance due to being the site of many important events. In 1989 it held the 40th anniversary of the republic, but nothing else worth much notice that year.
No one's super helpful because of the joke so at the risk of negative Chinese credit (of which I would've already had) I'll say there was a massacre at the Tianamen Square in early June 1989.
Iirc it was a result of students protesting against the "glorious" Chinese government.
All jokes aside I don't take issue with this, if it's becoming a big enough problem that a mods intervened then the jokes probably gotten stale, also it doesn't fit the actual meaning of the sub.

What's the joke here?

I think the joke is just replacing one dystopian novel about censorship with another
"this sub is a dictatorship and I rule it" direct quote
Yes, I saw the Mod reply to me comment
Good lord that made me wheeze
I feel like the thing that was most interesting about Fahrenheit 451 was chronically online before online was even a word.
Those are some silly American temperature measurements but that almost seems hot enough to start burning books at.
sorry, I’ll read Celsius 233 next time

it is freaky like that
Reddit mods removing dumbass spam posts is not the same as the government restricting speech

nooooo really??

Idk but it doesn't always have the desired result. Tell me this isn't the raddest thing ever.
Is this anti-american propaganda?
Far as I know, it was intended to be.
Be the American the Chinese think you are
I have this as my homescreen and it's so weird seeing it without all the icons everywhere.

What the hell is a Tiananman square?
It's a city square in the center of Beijing, where Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It serves great importance due to being the site of many important events. In 1989 it held the 40th anniversary of the republic, but nothing else worth much notice that year.
Oooo that explains it, thanks for the explanation

They are making a joke by leaving out important details for comedic effect. I would give it a Google, should be one of the top results if not the top.
Unless you're in China, then for the love of God don't put that in your search engine. You'll be turbo fucked.
I'll do just that. Thank God im Brazilian then

Both the Chinese and the US lie about what happened. Tank man chatted with the driver then went home. This photo wasn't even at tiananman.
