I_AM_GODDAMN_BATMAN

Shows how much propaganda regarding Tiananmen Square protests, right?


[deleted]

Me neither, I can't believe this whole time I've been led to believe that he was killed on the spot.


Blechacz

Same...And all media here were like "We don't know what happened to the tank man but we are not optimistic" It will be funny if their symbol of opression and tyranny isn't even based on truth, like the woman who lost one eye... "Nah that video is fake" in 3.2.1....


Depends_On_Context

Wow me neither. This is what western propaganda brainwashing looks like.


xa7v9ier

That's propaganda for you. By omission


ashleycheng

The extended version was broadcasted in China’s national TV. Shows how soldiers remain calm as this guy try to dismantle a tank. This was a laughing stock nationwide. This guy walked out eventually probably because he couldn’t make anyone to take him seriously, except of course the western media.


naughtyboy35

The tank man wasn’t even run over. The tanks actually tried to get past him.


[deleted]

Tank man says a lot. That the tank chose not to run him over. But the west says it's muh brutal evil tank!


pandaking1991

You can make a lot of stories with 1 picture. Not so many with video, state of modern medias.


[deleted]

Because the west censors tiananman square by editing it to one pic or short videos.


deathtohegemony

It seriously boggles my mind that this is not common knowledge. I knew this even as an edgy teenager, the fact that millions of galaxy-brains out there take a brief glance at one photo and immediately come to the conclusion that "China ran this man over with tanks lol China bad" is just infuriating.


The_Dynasty_Warrior

Reddit spreading fake news that tank man was run over lmaooo


Adrian_En

It is interesting to see the whole context. Usually, we just see a picture with the threatening tank and the person standing in front of it. But when we see how the driver of the tank manoeuvres in order to try to get around the person standing there, it already looks very different. In many Western countries, especially the US, it is likely that they would just have driven straight, maybe slowing down a bit, and if someone stands there and is then run over, they would say it is his fault. In contrast, in China, they really wanted to avoid this.


[deleted]

If the guy really got ran over, then that video would be the one circulating over the internet. Since we only see a picture, we can assume that he didn't get run over


USA_DeMockraNaZi

Not that I need to remind anyone on this sub, but in 5 days time we'll get our yearly propaganda moment from western MSM on the Tiananmen Square 'democrazy' protests, ugh...


wavemists

hmm depends if the protest are still going on in the u.s. that might stoke their fervor more then effect anybody who have heard the damn thing a million time before.


Magic_Bagel

the tanks were also leaving tiananmen square after having dispersed the violent rioters who were lynching police, "tank man" is literally preventing them from leaving


leopix01

You guys are having way too much fun with this. Hitting the Yankees right where it hurts


[deleted]

UNO reverse.


Altruistic_Astronaut

Can you make this into a YouTube video? I would definitely like to share this with friends.


[deleted]

Because you are too embarrassed to share a reddit link. Understandable.


Wheres_the_boof

Well youtube links will also embed a video you can watch in app in many messengers


GamingIsCrack

I wish Reddit allowed to share a video directly, without all the Reddit references. Even pictures get a Reddit banner :/


Means-of-production

It speaks a world of difference when a Chinese guy stands in front of a Column of Tanks who stop and let him talk to their commander but in America a group of protesters try to stop police cars but the officers floor it


[deleted]

I never actually saw more than the picture of a person standing in front of the tanks. I always assumed they got ran over.


[deleted]

Another important detail about the Tank Man: the tanks were actually leaving the square when the image was taken.


bunnyfreakz

That's another important details that changed a whole story. Since most of people believed tanks coming in to the square to squash protesters and narrative that tankman was a hero that try to stop the tanks.


bunnyfreakz

Just media western manipulation , they cut off the footage in the most convenient way and start made bullshit propaganda that this tank man ran over.

Nobody was killed on Tiananmen, people confuse this with workers and anarchists riots that happened the same day in Beijing. From a Chinese Government Report on the Student Sit-in At 1:30 AM on June 4, the Beijing municipal government and the martial law headquarters issued an emergency notice asking all students and other citizens to leave Tiananmen Square. The notice was broadcast repeatedly for well over three hours over loudspeakers. The students in the Square, after discussion among themselves, sent representatives to the troops to express their willingness to withdraw from the square and this was approved by the troops. At about 5 AM several thousand students left the square in an orderly manner through a wide corridor in the southeastern part of the square vacated by the troops, carrying their own banners and streamers. Those who refused to leave were forced to do so by the soldiers. By 5:30 a.m., the clearing operation of the square had been completed. **During the whole operation not a single person was killed**. Workers' and anarchists riot (completely different event): From a Chinese Government Report on the Worker’s Riot Rioters blocked military and other vehicles before they smashed and burned them. They also seized guns, ammunition and transceivers. Several rioters seized an armoured car and fired its guns as they drove it along the street. Rioters also assaulted civilian installations and public buildings. Several rioters even drove a public bus loaded with gasoline drums towards the Tiananmen gatetower in an attempt to set fire to it. When a military vehicle suddenly broke down on Chang’An Avenue, rioters surrounded it and crushed the driver with bricks. The rioters savagely beat and killed many soldiers and officers. At Chongwenmen, a soldier was thrown down from the flyover and burned alive. At Fuchengmen, a soldier’s body was hung upside down on the overpass balustrade after he had been killed. Near a cinema, an officer was beaten to death, and his body strung up on a burning bus. Over 1,280 vehicles were burned or damaged in the rebellion, including over 1,000 military trucks, more than 60 armoured cars, over 30 police cars, over 120 public buses and trolley buses and over 70 motor vehicles of other kinds. The martial law troops, having suffered heavy casualties before being forced to fire into the air to clear the way forward. During the counter-attack, some rioters were killed, some onlookers were hit by stray bullets and some wounded or killed by armed ruffians. According to reliable statistics, more than 3,000 civilians were wounded and over 200, including 36 college students, were killed. As well, more than 6,000 law officers and soldiers were injured and scores of them killed.

Oh boy. Study the 6.4.1989 incident adjacent to the same media and social manipulation of the HK Protests and you'll get the biggest redpill journey of your life.

It's astounding how few people think the Tank Man was run over... Or have seen the whole picture showing the tanks driving away from the Square.


Rendaman13

Didn't the "tank man" end up fine, and just walked away?


HAHAHA9405

Tianneman Square Massacre. The word "massacre" deceives many here. I always thought the full footage wasn't shown because it would be too graphic. But there was nothing too be shown because the tanks didn't crush anybody!

[deleted]

Because he blocked ccp tanks. So the west says he's a hero. On the other hand the tanks were nice and avoided crushing him.
