Yo mods can we just ban politics (American specifically) in this community because it's just being used as a dumping ground
I keep up with world politics but I want some reprieve from the doomscrolling

MODERATORS
Didn't realize which community I was in until your comment. I agree
Please.
I agree, but also, if you want to see a community run how you like it to be run, you came create one yourself. Just saying.
Except the man climbed onto the tank but the lady would certainly be trampled, and then get two on the dome.
The history of the protest-turned-riot-turned-massacre is genuinely incredible. I wish more Americans learned enough about Chinese history to understand the significance of the event. It wasn't just one guy in front of a line of tanks. And the movement didn't end in Tienamen, either.
Dengism into the 21st century was defined by that movement and the backlash and it's reverberations. Modern Chinese domestic policy exists as a combination carrot and stick to discourage this kind of insurrection from happening again.
Would that the US people had the kind of courage and social cohesion necessary for a Tienamen in the modern day.
Except in the US they'd actually run her over, unlike Tank Man
The tanks did run over people though...
The guy in the photo? No there is video, he climbs up on the tank, blocks them for a few minutes and then walks away.
In the US they'd have shot or run over him.
No, not the guy in the photo
Holy shit that’s a real image?
Can’t believe it’s not AI
It's not AI, it's Photoshop
It’s not a photoshop. Look at the soccer ball and soccer bag she is holding because it was promoted for “soccer mum”
Yup, it looks like generative AI + image editing after the fact
Image generators have trouble juggling multiple colors and patterns on clothing. It would be a weird stylistic choice to create that effect with image edits alone
Also if you look closely, she has 3 arms. Two arms holding the phone up, one arm holding a soccer ball against her body?
I wanted to say that first but got to get with the times man.
Photoshop is now just manual AI /s
Yep it's just memes all the way down...
To material conditions
Wait, people assumed this is real? It's literally the road from original picture
American thing happens in America what are we Asians?
Authorities gonna roll wherever they be
Different shoes toe the same lines
Sloppy Joe slop sloppy Joe.... Me and sloppy Joe got married... We have two kids and we're doing just fine....
