'Tank Man' a day after his Government's violent crackdown on the peaceful Protesters
It wasn't just 'some' old Tanks...
what he stood up against.
There was Blood on the Streets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_in_Memory_of_Chinese_from_Tiananmen
People will not forget, even when conquered and opressed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_of_Shame

He stared down more tanks than the Russian military currently possesses.

#1 more courage than a dozen Uhauls full of Gravy Seals.

Did the guy in front of the tank survive?

In China, all you see is an empty street.

Thank you for this! TIL that ironically Pillar of Shame sculpture was removed from Hong Kong streets in 2021 by the government

Also it was recently seized from storage by Hong Kong national security police “in connection with a subversion investigation” which sounds alarming to me. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3219532/hong-kong-national-security-police-seize-pillar-shame-statue-connection-subversion-case

I'd post a link to some photos of the carnage but it always gets taken down by the mods. They're just too graphic

And he didn't stop them, and probably got killed.
Aksuuuh
But he became somebody
ironymus
But nobody knows who he is and what became of him
bunnyishungry
Which is kind of magical. He could be anybody.
Euchre
He only need be known as who he was that day, by what he did. The world saw him when it was needed. He stands for many other nameless victims of the state, who only wanted to let other people live.

We should just bomb the communism out of that shit country already
Miller16of16
Just like we did to Viet Nam!
LimeNotLemon
except this time we should just use nukes lol, plenty of good targets in a country of 1.3 billion
GuitarBobMonterey
You are daft. You are the problem. Turn in your keyboard.
GuitarBobMonterey
..and then when hurricane season starts back up -- nuke them too.

There's communist trying to make headway right here in America that should concern us more!
CaptCrobar
What? Who? Where?
rubypilgrim
I'm more worried about far right fascism
qpids30
It's essentially the same thing, like a cucumber and a pickle
rubypilgrim
actually, no. Far right fascists are committing a whole lot more violence than left wing extremists in the US.
