When Communists hold power, too often we still let libs get away with their petty obstructions and wrecking.
Libs: LOL, China tells the people nothing happened at Tiananmen Square.
"Well, what did happen at Tiananmen Square?"
Libs: Well, they killed people, I think? And there was something about tanks? A protest about... something?
You're underestimating the power libs have to invent shit as they go
"that's the fucked up thing!! no one really knows what happened that day cos the CCP are so good at censoring it, so who actually knows the truth?? makes you think
"
Oh no, libs are very certain of what happened
China came in and massacred thousands of innocent, freedom loving protestors who just were tired of Jorjor Well 1984 gommunism. They killed so many people they had to crush them into paste with tanks and then power wash the remains into the sewers
That's the official lib story for it
Isn't that the guy that climbed on the tank, annoyed them for a few minutes, then got shooed away by bystanders?
People have some weird thought that this guy died that day. The video exists. https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk
They think the bystanders were undercover cops and that he was disappeared.
In the same breath that they say these tanks were on their way to/from smushing all the protesters to pulp and washing it all down the drain (my mom actually told me this)
Of course then you ask why tf this guy got away, they don't believe he did, you show them this, and it's either fake or they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location. Insanity.
they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location
Must blow their mind to know that the media was there all night, and a Chilean ambassador watched everything unfold
There's never been any actual evidence of that though has there. As far as I know no one ever credibly came forward and said 'I was tank man' or 'my husband / partner / son was tank man's etc. This always seems like speculation based on nothing when I hear it repeated.
The most probable explanation is that he just went back to doing whatever he did normally and nobody even bothered to seek him out because everyone had much more problems that day.
But this version never seems to occur to the liberals, despite their (ostensible) adherence of common sense, occam's razor and so on.
this dude probably tells his story of dunking on tanks at bars and like nobody believes him or cares but they laugh with him and poor him another lol.
In school the teacher showed us the video and then stopped it right when the tank stops in front of him. The teacher then said 'this was the only footage to escape the oppressive communist Chinese government'.
Yeah, what the tweet meant is that liberals love to annoy working class people just doing their job.
I remember the tank man photograph in school text books and posters and boomer memes. Finding out a video exists is like the political version of finding out Santa Clause isn't real.
If you go to some of the uploads of it on Youtube, the comments are filled with people experiencing the mandela effect like "Whaaaaaa?? I could have sworn I saw this decades ago and he died? Is this edited??"
Turns out that repeating a lie often enough really does make it true
Liberals will look at this and still think muh 1984 jorjor well totalitarian China carried out a massacre during the June 4th protests. Just look at the comments on the video.
Which makes this liberal's statement even funnier. In their own view of this, they're saying that liberalism gets destroyed by socialism.
So communists are trying to do things, and libs are getting in the way? Sounds about right.
"I might not like the status quo, but I will give my life to stop leftists from trying to change it!"
Many of the Tienanmen protesters were opposed to Deng's market reforms, and some wanted to return to the Cultural Revolution.
Libs: "I support you, brave freedom fighters!"
Maoists at Tiananmen Square: "Bring back beating up liberals in the streets!"
Delusional when liberals supported every imperial adventure in the past 40 years. You support sending tanks to Israel, to Russia, to Haiti, to Iraq etcetc.
Correct, communists believe in material conditions and that changing anything requires building actual power, liberals believe that ineffectual symbolic protesting is all you can and should do
And most of the time not even that.
They shouldn't block traffic or disrupt the people in that lobby! They should just
Tank Man is such a perfect symbol of liberal "protest" I honestly love it. Yeah I'm gonna rock up to this place long after all the shit is done going down and I'm going to mildly inconvenience a handful of tank drivers while they're trying to exit. That'll show 'em.
Liberals think he got run over right? Also they know China is communist, has been for a while, and will be for the foreseeable future...
So this image is saying communists are on the winning side of history and liberals on the losing side by a wide margin?
Also, does the "Project Liberal" logo look extremely fashy or what?
Yup, it's somehow giving both fasces and retvrn Greek plinth (though I think it's the latter). Plus phoenix like 'we will rise from flame'
It looks like the same minimalist crap I'd expect from a Heritage Foundation or Turning Points USA
Ultimate delusion is thinking that you, as a liberal, are the only thing standing in the way of tankie domination.
Alternative title: When you definitely know what happened to Tank Man.
In fact, the only thing standing the way of Tankie domination is constant infighting about stacking rocks.
They accidentally make the argument for running over people with tanks.
I was gonna say the same thing with an added "and of course the liberal's being fucking annoying while we're trying to go about our day"
making a brief pointless gesture after the fact and materially changing nothing? seems pretty accurate to me
Folks, people are saying there will be no excuses for the terror
