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

Nothing. He climbed up on the tank and started yelling at the driver.

Reminder that Donald Trump admires the Tiananmen Square massacre and told Playboy all about it in an interview right after it happened

Why did you cut off the part where he climbs up the tank and starts yelling at the tank driver?

Why is the clip zoomed in to not show that the tank is driving away from the square?

there are multiple versions of the clip and the associated lore floating around and if you don't spend enough time with what happened at the time you can easily be convinced of a variety of viewpoints

Americans (in 1775): Declares war with one of the most powerful empires in history over taxes

The French: Decapitates the upper classes due to hoarding wealth and creating class imbalance

Haitians: Fights against their former masters in the name of freedom and the end of slavery

The French (again): Fights back against one of the most cruel regimes in history to free their occupied homeland from Nazi rule

Americans (now): "Oh I hope that if the message on my sign is passive aggressive enough the fascists will leave the government out of shame."

The Boston Tea party got started because of a tax cut from the British Empire. It was a whole different bunch declaring war than what people are lead to believe.

Yeah, you need the wealthy with time and resources to be on your side or else you are just the peasants revolting which they all already think we are.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, you need crime. The tax cut would have affected the tea smuggling profits.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah. The smugglers were making bank though.
Its kinda the rule that the government is filled with old mafia once they realize they can make a lot of money being the government.

So I guess in this case we need the companies that are acting as mafia to want the change. Which brings us back to the wealthy.

He was clearly outside of the crosswalk.

He’s lucky it isn’t an Israeli tank, else he would have gotten run over.

Guess Feng Zhang just dropped his legs on the floor because he didn't want them.
