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.

It is an iconic picture

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).

    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,

    That must be so tiring, continuously rationalizing away the cognitive dissonance as “propaganda” and “CIA conspiracy” whenever you come across facts that don’t align with your world view.
