I was convinced for years through cultural osmosis and conditioning that the tankman was ran over and crushed on camera beneath the tanks but the video just cut out and didn’t show that out of “respect” or whatever. Imagine my shock as a baby leftists when I found out that literally nothing happened, that the line of tanks was pulling back from an active combat zone where tanks were set on fire and PLA troops were lynched strung up on light posts-- and they still stopped for this single person, let him climb up on the tank, talk to him, and let him go. And this shit is somehow so horrifying according to US propaganda that it justifies the dehumanization of a billion people, and if you rightfully say “hey wait a minute doesn’t this just make them look good” without missing a beat the line changes with zero evidence to “well that guy was secretly arrested and killed later!”
Obviously it’s been clear that if the same situation were in the west that person would have gotten mowed down by automatic gunfire before even getting close to the tanks. But it’s good(?) to have an actual, objective example to point to when the hogs start posting completely horse shit again.
Was it worth it, Horthy? Is this what you wanted?
