feeling the need to argue and bending over backwards to defend China
Mate, you brought up the topic, not me. I initially started a conversation on precisely the picture you posted, because most people in the west see it out of context and believe that the protestor was trampled or arrested, instead of harmlessly walking away. You’re the one spreading anti-china propaganda and, when confronted with the reality of the specific picture you sent, you deflect and send an article with 100 pictures of the event.

It is an iconic picture that is representative for the courage of the people protesting, as well as for the bloody repression that occurred. Tanks were used against protestors, and not even the Chinese government denies that hundreds of people lost their lives on that day.
You feeling the need to “correct” me on tankman, just makes you an ackshually-ing neckbeard.

If by “iconic picture” you mean “out-of-context, manipulative, anticommunist, CIA-sponsored atrocity propaganda”, then yes, it’s very iconic in the NATO countries (show this to a Latin American and see if they know what it is).

Oh my god 😂 How do you even come up with shit like that? Do you have it rehearsed so that it just roll off your tongue?

Nah, it just happens when you actuslly research a topic and critically examine the events and the sources, instead of uncritically swallowing propaganda based on a single source of politicians from TERF-Island, sorry I mean Great Britain,
