Comment on Tankie

The difference being that in the original the protester was safe after the fact:
Bullshit.
If he was alive and well he would have been trotted out to the public as propaganda by the CCP that they weren’t cruel, and instructed to regurgitate some safe speech that toed the Party line.
If he’s lucky he disappeared and kept his mouth shut to survive in silence.
Sources conflict as to his identity, and whether or not he was executed, imprisoned , or lived free.
Not that I expect tankies to think anything other than pro-CCP thought.
Literally just watch the video
A) The image isn’t even an actual event. The person doesn’t exist. Therefore they are neither safe nor unsafe.
B) Sparing the life of one citizen after murdering hundreds is not the flex you think it is
It’s not just an image, it’s a video depicting a column of tanks leaving a Tiananmen square suspiciously empty of squished bodies. Tanks that, after having supposedly finished squishing hundreds of protestors that aren’t seen, just stop for one single guy who stops them and and even talks to the guys inside the first tank.
You should first comprehend English. The post is an image.
What? Are you talking about the literal op image itself and not what it’s referencing?
And again, I’m highlighting the absurdity the a bunch of tanks that had supposedly just got finished squishing hundreds of protesters and were then leaving the square (that suspiciously doesn’t have hundreds of squished bodies in it) then decide to stop for one dude. How does that make any sense?
Liberals don’t want truth or justice, they want a self serving narrative that disguises their contempt for people they feel are beneath them.
Sorry your feelings got hurt.

Fun Fact: You can totally Google the Not Safe For Life images of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Tank Man wasn’t ran over, but many other students were.
