    I think it’s pretty awesome that the tank drivers didn’t flatten the guy.

      They did, however, flatten many other students with tanks during that protest.

        They didn’t, they beat them to death in the side streets and disappeared known leaders, get it right!

        Also the diplomatic cable that refers to armor units attacking the protestors in the Square which was denied by journalists on site specified APCs, jeez.

          Fyi to others: You can search images of bikes completely flattened with blood all around them and other pictures of protesters laying on the ground among bikes with injuries no human could inflict without something very heavy. I remember first seeing these pictures in the 2000s. Horrific.

      Yeah, in the West they would have just rolled right over the top of him.

      (Incidentally, it’s interesting that westerners post this - truncated - clip almost constantly, yet most of them have never even seen a photo of Rachel Corrie)

        Incidentally, thousands of people were killed in Tiananmen Square. Even today, people are being oppressed for even talking about it.

      I think it’s not awesome that DeepSeek isn’t allowed to talk about this subject whatsoever
