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?

WHY are you on ml, though, if you’re not a tankie?

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

Is there a forty year old truncated clip of a protestor not being harmed in America that you endlessly reposted, including every time America is mentioned? Or do you just do that with China?

Liberals always tell me to support the lesser evil when it’s election time, but when I apply that logic to geopolitics they get mad lol

One more commonality between China and the US.

Tank man didn’t get run over.

Do people not know this?

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?

he literally goes back to the crowd with a bunch of other people.

but i’m sure they secretly took him to another place later, where he was run over by a tank. off camera this time.

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

I swear they edited it

Either that or the weed was stronger than I expected

Acknowledging objective facts does seem to be the main thing western liberals hate tankies for, yes

Reminder that Donald Trump admires the Tiananmen Square massacre and told Playboy all about it in an interview right after it happened

Reminder that Israel crushes so many people under tanks that it traumatizes their soldiers, and slavish devotion to them is bipartisan.

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.

Occam’s razor, you’re on the Internet, bad crops are practically a meme. Personally, I distinctly remember watching the entire uncropped video multiple times throughout grade school and high school in the US

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.

No, you need crime. The tax cut would have affected the tea smuggling profits.

It’s not that bad for white people yet
