1. The Tinanmen protesters were violent, China just tried to suppress the violence (not mentioned in KYM)
  2. Pro-“democracy” (actually pro-cappietalism)

Edit: If I posted this on Reddit, I’d prolly get 10 bajillion downvotes from cappies and anarkiddies

    Source (CNN, surprisingly) for Tankman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU

    He stands in front of the Type 96 (or at least it looks like a T96, I could be wrong tho). The driver stops the vehicle with room to spare. The man climbs onto the tank body, then onto the turret. The commander turns out, and chats with the man. He then gets up and leaves, meanwhile the loader turns out, and waves at him. He turns back and continues to block the way of the tank. CNN cuts out after that, but I’ve been told he stood there for a few more minutes, then walked away and no one got hurt.

    If the PLA was really there to kill citizens indiscriminately, they wouldn’t have stopped. They wouldn’t have opened their hatches, giving him access to the inside of the tank. They wouldn’t have chatted with him. They wouldn’t have waited for him. They’d have either just ran him over, or opened fire with the coaxial gun. Or, alternatively, the Commander would have opened the hatch to shoot him with his pistol.
