We literally have the video of tankman climbing up the tank and not being flattened, it was even reported back in the day, but people downvoting you can't be bothered to google that

Bro literally had a conversation with the soldier in the tank.

Westerners aren’t helpless innocents whose minds are injected with atrocity propaganda, science fiction-style; they’re generally smug bourgeois proletarians who intelligently seek out as much racist propaganda as they can get their hands on. This is because it fundamentally makes them feel better about who they are and how they live. The psychic and material costs are rationally worth the benefits. -Roderic Day

All the libs in the comments really living up to the quote.

The Amerikkkan randomly calling me racist while being racist was fun if entirely unproductive. Same with the Canadian settler.

Don't feel that you need to argue with these racists, because it can lead to burn-out quickly. You can always report them and we'll try to get to it ASAP.

Also thank you for your hard work in educating everyone. It's not going to waste, and everyone is learning a lot from your posts. o7

Americans think they know about Tienanmen Square 1989 while themselves living in a police state / surveillance state.

No one talks about the Philadelphia police bombing (yes, a literal bombing) of a Black residential neighborhood in 1985.

No one talks about the police brutality against peaceful anti-Vietnam war groups in the 1960s/70s. Veterans who were drafted to fight an immoral war of aggression overseas were then beaten by the police for protesting that war. In 1970, the Ohio national guard opened fire on college students protesting at Kent State.

Eric Garner, Tamir Rice (12 years old), Daniel Shaver, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Renee Good, Alex Pretti and far, far too many people have been murdered on camera. Millions around the world protested the routine extrajudicial killings of unarmed Americans. But police killings increased every year during the Biden administration and Trump continues to throw people in the back of unmarked vans.

Americans judge the PRC (and every socialist country) by their own retelling of its worst blunder in history; Americans judge the US by it's latest controversy while forgetting everything else.

I love whenever someone posts the "tank man" photo because the liberals always reveal themselves like roaches scattering across the room when a lightswitch is turned on. Mod ban hammer squish them all plz and thank you.
