I think it's pretty awesome that the tank drivers didn't flatten the guy.
I think it's not awesome that DeepSeek isn't allowed to talk about this subject whatsoever
They did, however, flatten many other students with tanks during that protest.
Yeah, in the West they would have just rolled right over the top of him.
(Incidentally, it's interesting that westerners post this - truncated - clip almost constantly, yet most of them have never even seen a photo of Rachel Corrie)
I think Chinese did the right thing. Look where they now.
Tankies hate this one weird trick
Jeff Widener, the photographer who took this photo, describes the protests. He wasn't feeling well because a protester had smashed him in the head with a rock. His description starts at 2m30s.
It's really echoey in here today.e
Thanks, IE6!
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
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.
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?
Well, the tankies are correct on that one.
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?
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."
It's not that bad for white people yet
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.
gro-cer-ies…such a strange and mythical word
Some people call it food.
You have titled this as though nobody has ever seen it before.
I titled it to poke at 'murica for their inaction against their dictatorial regime because it is affecting my family and my country.
I'm sorry that my government is making a mess for you and yours. But please don't think that there is a lack of action. There have been basically nonstop (very liberal and mostly toothless) protests since before the election even, but the news refuses to report on them. Furthermore, there is a LOT going on from folks who would rather not advertise how they are resisting.
A resistance to a fascist government cannot, by it's nature, be public facing, so you'll never know everything that people are sacrificing and doing every day. But they are. We are.
That's a deep cut, and I missed it.
Oh my God that tank was going out of its way too run that guy over! /s
I saw the full video, he eventually climbs up the tank and then is forcefully taken away. He never gets run over.
*taken away by other protesters, not the army, to be clear
The tanks were lEAviNg ThE sQuaRe!
Are you denying basic geography now?
What happened to the guy in this after? Iv been meaning to look it up
He gets taken away by some bystanders and no one is sure who he or the other people were. There is speculation online, but no definitive evidence.
Nothing. He climbed up on the tank and started yelling at the driver.
He was clearly outside of the crosswalk.
