anyone who rants against "tankies" online is a liberal
Removed by modconservatives wouldnt use it because they don't follow leftist internet shit, and they already think liberals are communists so no point in even using the word.
I thought it meant anyone who agreed that the tanks should be sent in to Tianenmen Square.
*Hungary actually
Well, that's how I heard it. And anyway the Venn diagram of the two is nearly a circle.
Tiananmen Square is so easy to justify I do it to anybody who will listen
The whole "people who weren't even in the square and were almost certainly CIA assets were killing unarmed PLA soldiers with fire bombs and stolen machine guns and otherwise just beating them to death, and non one actually died in the square and all the students left peacefully when the PLA's deadline expired" does kind of knock the wind out of the usual narrative.
yes but they just accuse you of lying when you say that
This is my experience.
Which is funny because even Wikipedia agrees with this version of events now.
To be fair around 200 people died in the riots in surrounding areas but a good portion of them were PLA soldiers so
