    The thing about tank man is that he walked away and lived. If he were in the evil empire he'd been shot to pieces.

      some states now have laws allowing police to run over protestors in america so its hillarious how the instance of someone standing in front of a tank ,getting to talk with the PLA member and not getting run over and leaving is the evil secret authoritarianism that will make chinese people disappear from the internet

      That's what's been on my mind a lot. Not a chance in hell if something like that were to happen in the US would that guy walk away. He would have been shot or straight up ran over immediately at worst and best case scenario arrested and imprisoned for years for assaulting an officer.
