Check this out. This guy standing up for his people with groceries!

Reminder that Donald Trump admires the Tiananmen Square massacre and told Playboy all about it in an interview right after it happened
https://www.businessinsider.com/trumpn-tiananmen-square-massacre-china-showed-power-of-strength-2019-6
- Reminder that Israel crushes so many people under tanks that it traumatizes their soldiers, and slavish devotion to them is bipartisan.
- And look - china came out on top.
  And guess what - they have uhc, guaranteed vacations and u don't.
  
  China does not have universal health care (if that's what "uhc" means).

Wait until the tankies come in here to tell you that he's a patriot trying to stop them from leaving the square so they could continue to keep the peace
- Can the tankies even see the gif?
  
  Prolly, I'm on ml
  
  Fuck em. Let em come.
  
  This gif that's objectively depicting tanks leaving the square?
  
  They think it's AI generated.
- In the US they run over protesters. Just sayin.
  
  Based on some of the other comments you're making, yes more than one country can be bad. And the crazy part is it doesn't justify either country, both are still bad
  
  One more commonality between China and the US.
- Well, the tankies are correct on that one.
- we usually come to point out that if this event was so brutal why didn't this guy get run over?
  are you guys aware this guy has a friendly chat with the driver afterwards, right? all captured on camera too, i'm pretty sure there are close up photos beyond just the video.
  why do liberals love using this image as some symbol of chinese evil.
  
  Wonder what his name is
  
  By that you mean some people run over to him, escort him away, and nobody ever saw him again or learned his identity?
- That they are leaving the square is literally an undisputable fact though. Are undisputed facts "tankie" now?
- ???
  Citing objective geographic reality of the tanks leaving the square makes one a tankie?
  Are you people on fucking shrooms?
  Guys check this out, maps and directions are tankie now lmfao what's next, GPS is a communist mind control satellite constellation?
  
  Lack of reading comprehension claims yet another victim
  
  Acknowledging objective facts does seem to be the main thing western liberals hate tankies for, yes

Why did you cut off the part where he climbs up the tank and starts yelling at the tank driver?
Why is the clip zoomed in to not show that the tank is driving away from the square?
https://youtu.be/FaojdRThXbY
- there are multiple versions of the clip and the associated lore floating around and if you don't spend enough time with what happened at the time you can easily be convinced of a variety of viewpoints
  
  The cut off clip is meant to imply a lot of things which did not happen.
- because its propaganda designed to make china look as bad as the us empire.
  its bad but it doesnt even compare so far.

He’s lucky it isn’t an Israeli tank, else he would have gotten run over.
- Guess Feng Zhang just dropped his legs on the floor because he didn't want them.

Americans (in 1775): Declares war with one of the most powerful empires in history over taxes
The French: Decapitates the upper classes due to hoarding wealth and creating class imbalance
Haitians: Fights against their former masters in the name of freedom and the end of slavery
The French (again): Fights back against one of the most cruel regimes in history to free their occupied homeland from Nazi rule
Americans (now): "Oh I hope that if the message on my sign is passive aggressive enough the fascists will leave the government out of shame."
- The Boston Tea party got started because of a tax cut from the British Empire. It was a whole different bunch declaring war than what people are lead to believe.
  
  Yeah, you need the wealthy with time and resources to be on your side or else you are just the peasants revolting which they all already think we are.
- It's not that bad for white people yet

I think it's pretty awesome that the tank drivers didn't flatten the guy.
- They did, however, flatten many other students with tanks during that protest.
  
  They didn't, they beat them to death in the side streets and disappeared known leaders, get it right!
  Also the diplomatic cable that refers to armor units attacking the protestors in the Square which was denied by journalists on site specified APCs, jeez.
- Yeah, in the West they would have just rolled right over the top of him.
  (Incidentally, it's interesting that westerners post this - truncated - clip almost constantly, yet most of them have never even seen a photo of Rachel Corrie)
  
  Incidentally, thousands of people were killed in Tiananmen Square. Even today, people are being oppressed for even talking about it.
- I think Chinese did the right thing. Look where they now.
- I think it's not awesome that DeepSeek isn't allowed to talk about this subject whatsoever

Tankies hate this one weird trick

gro-cer-ies…such a strange and mythical word
- Some people call it food.

Jeff Widener, the photographer who took this photo, describes the protests. He wasn't feeling well because a protester had smashed him in the head with a rock. His description starts at 2m30s.

It's really echoey in here today.e

You have titled this as though nobody has ever seen it before.
- I titled it to poke at 'murica for their inaction against their dictatorial regime because it is affecting my family and my country.
  
  That's a deep cut, and I missed it.
  
  I'm sorry that my government is making a mess for you and yours. But please don't think that there is a lack of action. There have been basically nonstop (very liberal and mostly toothless) protests since before the election even, but the news refuses to report on them. Furthermore, there is a LOT going on from folks who would rather not advertise how they are resisting.
  A resistance to a fascist government cannot, by it's nature, be public facing, so you'll never know everything that people are sacrificing and doing every day. But they are. We are.
  
  Then do something about it instead of the laziest thing imaginable. Let me know when I can expect to see you in the news for your brave actions.

Oh my God that tank was going out of its way too run that guy over! _/s
- I saw the full video, he eventually climbs up the tank and then is forcefully taken away. He never gets run over.
  
  *taken away by other protesters, not the army, to be clear

What happened to the guy in this after? Iv been meaning to look it up
- Nothing. He climbed up on the tank and started yelling at the driver.
- He gets taken away by some bystanders and no one is sure who he or the other people were. There is speculation online, but no definitive evidence.

He was clearly outside of the crosswalk.

Thanks, IE6!

The tanks were lEAviNg ThE sQuaRe!
- Are you denying basic geography now?
