In america, more than 60 protesters have been run over this year but people will send the tank man image to chinese people, thinking it will deprogram them and make them hate china

Wow. Imagine if the alt-right took iconic images of BLM protests with the headline "All these people survived and went home and got back on their phones and shopped Amazon" as a way to recontextualize the protests and all the people who have been maimed or murdered.
Don't get involved in shitty revisionism.
Here's a photo of the actual carnage that took place that day (very graphic/NSFW)
deleted by creator
a reverse image search says that specific image is from a 2009 blogger who was shown this image on a train in 2007 by an apparent family member of a soldier there that day. as far as i can tell the only people reporting that image is French state media. I don't want to downplay anything, at least hundreds died in that bloody conflict, but you still need to be careful of misinformation
Here you go - a full gallery of photos including charred corpses, piles of dead bodies, and bikes and bodies that have been rolled over by tanks
The Tianenmen bastards lit UNARMED soldiers on fire and killed them. The military was a lot more restrictive than the media portrays. You wonder why a Hong Kong protester was never killed by a soldier? China learns from their past, America does not.
lol this community exalts every police murder, I'm glad the protesters fighting back somehow absolves the state military forces from whatever unhinged violence erupted in the standoff
and sure, china doesn't murder people, they just disappear them and magically they're making public addresses three months later talking about how grateful they are to the benevolent leadership of the ccp
have you read 1984?
Good bit.
You mean the story of a dissident who's captured and coerced into acting against his will, thereby transforming him into an obedient peon of the state?
its fake. its a fictional story
Exactly why it's real-world manifestation is that much creepier.
Many of the photographs in that album depict the PLA vehicles and soldiers that were torched by violent rebels, but I saw no piles of bodies as you described.
here you go
That's from a different site, but okay. I see four bodies in the photo (not squished by tanks), and it's not clear where they're located. The Chinese narrative is that ~200 were killed amidst violent clashes that week outside the square, so I would expect there to be some level of carnage left behind to photograph. I'm not denying that it's tragic, but does this debunk anything? What is my takeaway supposed to be?
As my original assertion, the title of this post white-washes and reduces the Tiananmen Square Massacre to "apparently this one guy survived", while ignoring the 200 killed but glorifying the 60 victims in the BLM scene. Just typical tankie revisionism.
I'm sorry to be going through post history, but this was literally you yesterday about an american getting hit by a police car. I don't have to imagine anything, you are actually doing that right now. Tianmen is happening in America right now, just a lot more spread out, and many are on the side of the police as we speak
Yeah, you can think police are sociopaths and that some protesters are hare-brained. It's not mutually exclusive.
