"that's the fucked up thing!! no one really knows what happened that day cos the CCP are so good at censoring it, so who actually knows the truth?? makes you think "
China came in and massacred thousands of innocent, freedom loving protestors who just were tired of Jorjor Well 1984 gommunism. They killed so many people they had to crush them into paste with tanks and then power wash the remains into the sewers
In the same breath that they say these tanks were on their way to/from smushing all the protesters to pulp and washing it all down the drain (my mom actually told me this)
Of course then you ask why tf this guy got away, they don't believe he did, you show them this, and it's either fake or they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location. Insanity.
There's never been any actual evidence of that though has there. As far as I know no one ever credibly came forward and said 'I was tank man' or 'my husband / partner / son was tank man's etc. This always seems like speculation based on nothing when I hear it repeated.
In school the teacher showed us the video and then stopped it right when the tank stops in front of him. The teacher then said 'this was the only footage to escape the oppressive communist Chinese government'.
I remember the tank man photograph in school text books and posters and boomer memes. Finding out a video exists is like the political version of finding out Santa Clause isn't real.
If you go to some of the uploads of it on Youtube, the comments are filled with people experiencing the mandela effect like "Whaaaaaa?? I could have sworn I saw this decades ago and he died? Is this edited??"
Turns out that repeating a lie often enough really does make it true
Liberals will look at this and still think muh 1984 jorjor well totalitarian China carried out a massacre during the June 4th protests. Just look at the comments on the video.
Delusional when liberals supported every imperial adventure in the past 40 years. You support sending tanks to Israel, to Russia, to Haiti, to Iraq etcetc.
Correct, communists believe in material conditions and that changing anything requires building actual power, liberals believe that ineffectual symbolic protesting is all you can and should do
Tank Man is such a perfect symbol of liberal "protest" I honestly love it. Yeah I'm gonna rock up to this place long after all the shit is done going down and I'm going to mildly inconvenience a handful of tank drivers while they're trying to exit. That'll show 'em.
Surely they will hold annual remembrances to mark the day Israeli armored vehicles drove over a bunch of Palestinians seeking food after shooting into a crowd of them
