What do you mean explain away? I pointed out that they always stop the footage in a way that implies he dies- when he clearly doesn’t. Having an article about how AI photos can be used to manipulate our perception of reality cite an instance of careful propaganda manipulating the perception of what happened was just a little on the nose.
Seriously posting about a massacre from over 30 years ago where a few hundred people were killed fighting the cops like its supposed to carry water today? Just compare that to the massacre that’s happening right now in Gaza, way more actual evidence of heinous crimes and it’s way more of a concern to me because it’s my government funding it.
Do you think the common conception of Tank Man is a real-world version of Austin Powers driving a steamroller? Like an entire line of tanks snuck up on him, in the middle of a six-lane crosswalk?
I live in America, pointing out its barbaric prison system and its piggish enforcers is just me raising a political issue I have as a citizen. The whataboutism is actually coming from the people trying to make a country on the other side of the planet out to be an “even worse” a police state than right here.
You don’t understand what talking is for. You’re treating this like a game where you score points to win, instead of an effort for all parties involved to be less wrong about the world. I haven’t said shit about America - yet you’re going ‘meanwhile in America!’ as if that’d be relevant somehow. As if I’d minimized or misrepresented a massacre… the way you have.
“Fuck that” doesn’t have to be comparative. You are unironically doing the tweet about waffles and pancakes. Cut it out.
Explain away all these other photos then

It’s an image of defiance.

Whataboutism, shocking.

It’s not zero-sum.

Thank you oh enlightened conversation-haver for explaining the symbolism of the Western media reporting on its state enemy.
Profound irony to be claiming to be here looking for conversation like a post after just saying “whataboutism”
Post irrelevant shit, have it called out. Whine about namedropping why that’s bad.
Double down, have the problem explained in detail. Mock the effort and repeat the whining.
How about fuckity bye.
