heartbreaking

When Communists hold power, too often we still let libs get away with their petty obstructions and wrecking.

Libs: LOL, China tells the people nothing happened at Tiananmen Square.

"Well, what did happen at Tiananmen Square?"

Libs: Well, they killed people, I think? And there was something about tanks? A protest about... something?

[-] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 58 points 3 months ago

You're underestimating the power libs have to invent shit as they go

[-] yoink@hexbear.net 49 points 3 months ago

"that's the fucked up thing!! no one really knows what happened that day cos the CCP are so good at censoring it, so who actually knows the truth?? makes you think berdly-smug "

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 57 points 3 months ago

"Anyway, the point is: CHINA BAD"

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

Oh no, libs are very certain of what happened

China came in and massacred thousands of innocent, freedom loving protestors who just were tired of Jorjor Well 1984 gommunism. They killed so many people they had to crush them into paste with tanks and then power wash the remains into the sewers

That's the official lib story for it

Isn't that the guy that climbed on the tank, annoyed them for a few minutes, then got shooed away by bystanders?

People have some weird thought that this guy died that day. The video exists. https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

They think the bystanders were undercover cops and that he was disappeared.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 45 points 3 months ago

In the same breath that they say these tanks were on their way to/from smushing all the protesters to pulp and washing it all down the drain (my mom actually told me this)

Of course then you ask why tf this guy got away, they don't believe he did, you show them this, and it's either fake or they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location. Insanity.

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location

Must blow their mind to know that the media was there all night, and a Chilean ambassador watched everything unfold

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago

There's never been any actual evidence of that though has there. As far as I know no one ever credibly came forward and said 'I was tank man' or 'my husband / partner / son was tank man's etc. This always seems like speculation based on nothing when I hear it repeated.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The most probable explanation is that he just went back to doing whatever he did normally and nobody even bothered to seek him out because everyone had much more problems that day.

But this version never seems to occur to the liberals, despite their (ostensible) adherence of common sense, occam's razor and so on.

In school the teacher showed us the video and then stopped it right when the tank stops in front of him. The teacher then said 'this was the only footage to escape the oppressive communist Chinese government'.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

Lmao what a fucking snake

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

Yeah, what the tweet meant is that liberals love to annoy working class people just doing their job.

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago

I remember the tank man photograph in school text books and posters and boomer memes. Finding out a video exists is like the political version of finding out Santa Clause isn't real.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

If you go to some of the uploads of it on Youtube, the comments are filled with people experiencing the mandela effect like "Whaaaaaa?? I could have sworn I saw this decades ago and he died? Is this edited??"

Turns out that repeating a lie often enough really does make it true

[-] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

Liberals will look at this and still think muh 1984 jorjor well totalitarian China carried out a massacre during the June 4th protests. Just look at the comments on the video.

So communists are trying to do things, and libs are getting in the way? Sounds about right.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 55 points 3 months ago

"I might not like the status quo, but I will give my life to stop leftists from trying to change it!"

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

This is a quote from Magnum Force I think.

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 69 points 3 months ago

Many of the Tienanmen protesters were opposed to Deng's market reforms, and some wanted to return to the Cultural Revolution.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 69 points 3 months ago

Libs: "I support you, brave freedom fighters!"

Maoists at Tiananmen Square: "Bring back beating up liberals in the streets!"

Delusional when liberals supported every imperial adventure in the past 40 years. You support sending tanks to Israel, to Russia, to Haiti, to Iraq etcetc.

[-] KimJongGoku@hexbear.net 54 points 3 months ago

Correct, communists believe in material conditions and that changing anything requires building actual power, liberals believe that ineffectual symbolic protesting is all you can and should do

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

And most of the time not even that.

They shouldn't block traffic or disrupt the people in that lobby! They should just vote

[-] booty@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

Tank Man is such a perfect symbol of liberal "protest" I honestly love it. Yeah I'm gonna rock up to this place long after all the shit is done going down and I'm going to mildly inconvenience a handful of tank drivers while they're trying to exit. That'll show 'em.

[-] muddi@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago

Liberals think he got run over right? Also they know China is communist, has been for a while, and will be for the foreseeable future...

So this image is saying communists are on the winning side of history and liberals on the losing side by a wide margin?

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 48 points 3 months ago

Also, does the "Project Liberal" logo look extremely fashy or what?

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yup, it's somehow giving both fasces and retvrn Greek plinth (though I think it's the latter). Plus phoenix like 'we will rise from flame'

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

It looks like the same minimalist crap I'd expect from a Heritage Foundation or Turning Points USA

[-] regul@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

Ultimate delusion is thinking that you, as a liberal, are the only thing standing in the way of tankie domination.

Alternative title: When you definitely know what happened to Tank Man.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

In fact, the only thing standing the way of Tankie domination is constant infighting about stacking rocks.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 3 months ago

They accidentally make the argument for running over people with tanks.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

this tracks because the tanks were leaving the square

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

I was gonna say the same thing with an added "and of course the liberal's being fucking annoying while we're trying to go about our day"

making a brief pointless gesture after the fact and materially changing nothing? seems pretty accurate to me

[-] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

Folks, people are saying there will be no excuses for the terror

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

I'd rather be in the tank. Much better protection from the right.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

Liberals: "Haha, I'm in danger"

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago

And yet, much less danger than anyone participating in a BLM protest

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 3 months ago

what ever happened to the people scooped up by guys in army fatigues driving around in minivans anyway?

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

I assume we'll find out in 20 years when the CIA is forced to disclose more of their fuckery.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

I mean, even the cops run black sites where they torture detainees off the books. Remember Homan Square in Chicago during and after the 2014 demos?

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

im-doing-my-part standing in the way of progress!

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views.
