Comment on Tankie

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?

    Nobody said that? The tank man incident occurs the following day and is a sign of rebellion against a tyrannical government. Nobody except the uneducated believes both events took place on the same day. Tank man is so powerful because despite the government slaughtering people the day previously. Standing in front of the tank was extremely brave and probably even a little stupid but powerful nonetheless.
