This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

The full footage shows that the tanks were leaving the square, not entering. They stand in front of them, the driver tries to get around him, they climb on top and chat with the driver for a bit, then bystanders come and walk them away. They have never been identified, their motives never ascertained. It was a divisive time, they could have been stopping them for liberal anti-CPC reasons, they could have been a loyalist counter-protestor insisting they go back to remain in the square, they could have had undiagnosed mental illness and be having a breakdown at really inopportune time, etc

Based on the Chinese dad mentality many of my friends fathers display he is probably chilling somewhere eating some good food while having an inside laugh about it

I tend to feel fact the tanks are leaving doesn't necessarily disprove a liberal anti-CPC protestor. People do nonsensical protest actions all the time.

But even if they were it does show the restraint and humanity of the tank drivers.
