I agree with a few of his criticisms of Hakim’s video. He failed to establish why the eyewitness reports that side with him are more credible than those that disagree (calls them fabricated but didn’t seem to support that) and put too much emphasis on the Chai Ling interview without showing that she was a leader or massively influential in the protests. He claims that the will of the people was subverted but doesn’t justify that within the video.
That said, I think reacting to and critiquing the video isn’t worth much if you don’t at least attempt to tackle the death count. Just throwing out that some estimates go as high as 10k without judging them at all is worthless at best. If 10k people died then I think it’s pretty obviously a massacre.
