    The amount of people who genuinely don’t know that Tank Man both survived and wanted the Tanks to kill protesters is insane to me. Everything about that image is distorted from reality.

        It’s a common theory because he was blocking tanks from EXITING the area, which only really makes sense if he wants them to turn around and “do their job”, however he would perceive that.

          It is yeah but there’s no way to prove he was trying to get the tanks to go back to the square. Maybe he was, but who knows
