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

    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.

        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.
