Given how quickly everyone I know took to using Chrome on phones despite no adblock being available, I think sadly it won't have as big an impact as I wish it would.

Steam Next Fest

Demos still exist, sure. Just not anywhere to the scale and pervasiveness that they used to. Nor do they come in cereal boxes.

I remember when virtually every single game allowed you to play a 'Demo' for free, so you could find out exactly what the gameplay is like in any game before playing it. They often came in my cereal boxes as a kid, or free to pick up at the checkout. I still have a cool CD from the 2000s which has like five big studio name Demos in one.

Now that's Pepperidge Farm Remembers. Or did I out myself as too old?

👏 Then 👏 read 👏 the 👏 Wiki 👏 page 👏

Because that will tell you the answer is 1. One zero. Because the number of dead civilians in the Tiananmen Square Massacre is zero. No civilian deaths there. Nada. Read the wiki page, it will tell you no deaths. This information brought to you by such Commies as:

  • the US Government,
  • the Washington Post correspondent (who was there all night),
  • the CBS correspondent (same),
  • and more!

Were there a limited number of deaths in protests elsewhere that wasn't Tiananmen? Yep, about 2-3 hundred across a few hundred cities. And that's bad! But is also pretty dang small relative to the protest size, and happens in all major protests in all countries everywhere.

This is the correct response. Practically all of global poverty reduction is being done by central planning, right now.
