      Yeah, that was one of the more fucked up sections of the video I posted, is her crying into a camera. The way she starts crying because the students kept trying to have a peaceful resolution with the government instead of getting themselves massacred… Their entire goal was go try and get as many of their fellow students killed as possible to have as propaganda footage. Like who watches that and then sympathizes with her? Who sees someone crying, because the people under her were trying to be reasonable and not provoke a needless massacre, and thinks “Oh that poor girl. Having to deal with these people that don’t want to get killed for the CIA.” ?"

        I mean, frothingfash Anti communists frothingfash are weird, perverse freaks and many of them would happily murder the entire human population if they thought it would keep people from helping each other and making the world better.

      I always enjoy re-watching the full “Tank Man” video, with the “brutal Chinese tanks” awkwardly trying to bypass the protestor and patiently waiting him out. I think libs just see that single frame and fill the gaps with their own experiences in their countries in thinking that the guy got ran over or something. If you try that with a secret service car they might do just that.

        I think it’s something Statesians get taught in schools. In Europe we’d always heard he stopped the tanks and then went on his way but “was never seen again”, not that the tanks rolled him over or anything.

      God she is such a toolbag. “You need to all go get yourselves killed even though none of you wanted a violent confrontation and many wanted market liberalization to stop and for communist economics to be re-instated! Others just wanted a loosening of socially conservative norms so they could hold hands with their partners without getting dirty looks in public. But what you need to do is start a violent conflict with your PLA comrades for no clear reason. I won’t do it of course, because I am too important to die for the cause that literally only me and like seven other people here care about!”
