how many protests have been violently broken up by pigs in america since this happened in china 3 decades ago? ameridumbs don’t even question why they’re thinking about some made up 35 year old propaganda rather than any of the hundreds of protests in the US since that date, which has seen how many of their fellow citizens brutalized if not killed?

reminder: the dude who was standing in front of the tank literally climbed on top of it, opened it, talked to the soldiers, closed it, and walked away. he was not run over.

death to amerikkka

and of course all the comments are “lol im a rednote user so i dont know what this is lol because those evil chinese are liars lol get the joke??? i said i dont know what this is lol isnt that so funny?”

    Lmao at the ban banner, been there comrade

    EDIT: Also, I have seen the idea floated that if someone complains about Tiananmen Square, to ask what would have happened at OWS if the protesters had tied up a cop and burned him to death? How would the NYPD have treated them afterwards?

      And yet the violence didn’t even occur in the square, it was over on Chang’an avenue iirc, involving a completely different group of people than the student protestors. So it’s more like, “there were violent clashes elsewhere in NYC but literally nothing happened at OWS.”
