What your your thoughts on the man who stood in front of those tanks in Tiananmen Square? Was he a real human bean?
>>
He made more of a difference in a couple minutes than most stupid faggots on /pol/ has done in their entire lifetime.
>>
why didn't they just run him over
>>
>>77965781
no the video was a false flag operation

nobody could find him after the """incident"""
>>
>>77965781
yeah.
He was a real hero
>>
>>77966046
>made in china
the man would take less damage than the vehicle

I heard they dragged him off never to be seen again
kind of a shame to not know his name but i bet if you slapped pots and pans around you'd get it eventually
>>

>dragged him off never to be seen again
Yeah that was pretty fucking weird
>>
>>77966046

Join the military and run one of your own people over in a public parade. see what happens.
>>
>>77966524
Weren't they on their way to do that anyway?
>>
>>77966595

Is what that what you think? that their intentions were to run whomever they could over with tanks?
>>
>>77966712
I thought they we on their way to kill protesters or something
>>
>>77965781
the real human bean is the tank driver

Oh maybe, I thought you mean "they were on their way to go run as many people over with tanks as they possibly can".
>>
>>77966065
Wanna guess why?
>>
>>77967036
because he was a paid actor
>>
>>77966524

Well I mean they did use threats and probably did kill a few protesters later, I don't see why this man would matter? Why did they let him inconvenience them when they already were going to do unforgettable things whom the Chinese government is still struggling to make it citizens forget?

>tfw one of them might be the tank man
It was really weird to see those activists doing some sort of protests at time square while some sinages at the place displayed some ads from Chinese govt on investing in their provinces
>>
>>77967492
>saw Chinese activists in NYC
Tank man is from China, what would he be doing in NYC?
>>
>>77967713
Some of those activists went other countries as refugees. Even Korea and Japan have some of those activists as refugees

>I don't see why this man would matter?

to who?

To the guy driving the tank? to the commander of the tank? to the leader of the nation?

It might be the driver didn't want to run him over for moral reasons, might be the commander of the tank wasn't sure if his commander would think that was a good idea for PR reasons.

It is China but damn, I'm pretty sure even their military has to sometimes take things into account when it comes to the relation they have with their public. Their intention was to get the protesters out of there not piss them off even more and add fuel to the fire. Running this guy over just for standing in front of a tank sure was a form of protest but I don't know just didn't seem like squashing him would look like a noble attempt at "keeping control".
>>
fake and gay.
They would have just moved around him in the real world.
>>
>>77965781

what kind of tanks are those?
>>
>>77967981

It'd certainly show not to get in the way of the tanks and the regime.

If it was because of the driver of the tank I imagine he was severely punished later, maybe even death. Which I guess he should have wanted less than killing someone.

obviously this is a crude fabrication of the western media to undermine the legitimacy of the Communist Party of China and destabilize the People's Republic of China

the entire """"student""" """"protests"""" were a capitalist plot anyway designed to destroy the glorious achievements of socialism

>>
>>77968326

I don't know about that. I mean I know China is a brutally senseless commie nation but I think even the top people in command would look at this and be like wtf? this is a unique situation, this guy isn't fighting, he's just standing there?. He doesn't look like a protester he looks like some retard that thinks that tank is a bus there to give him a ride just not letting him on and kind of understandable why the tank just wouldn't know how to handle him.

Also I want to add, I'm not sure if that tank is the first one in that small group but I think in the position of a tank in the front of a group you might question your actions a bit more than if you weren't in the lead. What you do kind of dictates what others behind you do and everyone will have seen the action you had taken and "what would they think?".

There are so many chinese and so few chinese names that it would be meaningless. That's why they all use numbers now.

Tank man could only hold off one tank at a time if they decided to split up. Therefore it is just Jewish propaganda.

the student protestors were american funded democracy activists. who cares if they all died.

I think I'm having a Mandela or something.

I remember this guy being run over, it shocked to world and there was a huge global outcry against the Chinese government. I've watched entire documentaries about it detailing the events, the fallout, and even how the footage was taken and how it made it out of the country.

He was a martyr on par with the monk who burned himself to death in 1963 and the images of him being run over are just as iconic.

I have never believed in this Mandela effect crap but I'm seriously freaking out right now, I feel like I must be losing my mind because none of this is how I remember it.
>>
>>77971078
It's called a collumn. If the firsst tank stops, the whole collomn stops.

>>77971673
He was never run over. What kind of footages are you thinking? Take it easy on the propaganda, burger.

Hahaha! What a story Mark!

He had a strong heart which I purchased for transplant soon afterwards. Still ticking

Which do you think is most likely -

1. There are multiple, unknown universes that occasionally glitch out, and you have been accidentally transported to another universe, unknowingly, where everything is exactly the same except for one world event

2. Your memory sucks

This.

He was ironically more of a revolutionary than any of Mao and his goons ever were.

Tanks did run over protestors in the square itself, but this was far enough away from the action that a standoff was possible. The guy climbed on top of the tank and talked to the soldiers then climbed down and got pulled away by bystanders.

>>
>>77965992
Did you watch the whole clip? In the end he goes over and gets on top of the tank and rides forward with the tanks. So no he didn't stand up for shit. He was an autistic fagg who never saw a tank before
>>
>>77977402
He doesn't ride forward with the tanks. He hops back down and when the tank commander decides to starts moving again, he jumps back in front of it.
He is then escorted away by two people.
