Not to suppress suffering (the stupid notion that time will do away with such a thing) but to change it, transform it, to shift it from a static stage (stasis, obstruction, recurrences of the same thing) to a fluid state.

June 4th, 1989

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Even though I've read about those 7 weeks of peaceful protesting for democracy year after year since I was a kid and the horrors that ended it all, today it feels different as two country’s that I have personal connections with are in flames - a war against the systems which swore to protect their liberties. 

Today, my heart is heavy. And I hope that every fucking person in power - all of these politicians and law enforcement - in this modern chaos, remembers that we look back on June 4th, 1989 as a Massacre. As a tragedy of power. 

To this day, China censors this history to the degree that generations of Chinese people today in China have never even HEARD of this Massacre. The Chinese government is already sketchy as fuck, so all I can do is hope they don’t enact martial law on Hong Kong. But if my brothers and sisters south of the border have martial law declared upon them by their goon of a president in their ALREADY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY and their fight for BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS becomes a real civil war/a massacre, I’m going to be so. FUCKING. PISSED.

The Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.

CHINA. Beijing. April to June 1989. A young student protester in Tiananmen Square wears a sign written in English, which reads: I love life, I need food, but I’d rather die [than live] without democracy. “What struck me every day in these early weeks was not so much the connection to their specific demands, but what one encountered walking among these millions,” says Turnley, “a generalized youthful passion for greater freedoms and a better life.”
