Except the man climbed onto the tank but the lady would certainly be trampled, and then get two on the dome.
The history of the protest-turned-riot-turned-massacre is genuinely incredible. I wish more Americans learned enough about Chinese history to understand the significance of the event. It wasn’t just one guy in front of a line of tanks. And the movement didn’t end in Tienamen, either.
Dengism into the 21st century was defined by that movement and the backlash and it’s reverberations. Modern Chinese domestic policy exists as a combination carrot and stick to discourage this kind of insurrection from happening again.
Would that the US people had the kind of courage and social cohesion necessary for a Tienamen in the modern day.
Except in the US they’d actually run her over, unlike Tank Man
The tanks did run over people though…
The guy in the photo? No there is video, he climbs up on the tank, blocks them for a few minutes and then walks away.
In the US they’d have shot or run over him.
No, not the guy in the photo
Holy shit that’s a real image?
Can’t believe it’s not AI
American thing happens in America what are we Asians?
Authorities gonna roll wherever they be
Different shoes toe the same lines
Sloppy Joe slop sloppy Joe… Me and sloppy Joe got married… We have two kids and we’re doing just fine…
