Tankies said that tanks should just crush the protestors. Republicans share that opinion, because all authoritarians are the same: simple, rabid, malfunctional creatures.

    I have tried explaining to Conservative types that it is the same thing. Military violance against peaceful citizen protests. They can't compute how it is the same. But China is still bad they say.

    I couldn’t find the specific shot from the video but pictures 13 & 14 here have a similar energy and one of the last photos shows a man standing blocking the road without a vehicle at him though. https://www.reuters.com/pictures/ice-agents-raid-california-farms-2025-12-30/7NUQEJSVXREQDMAHJBIYLZYJY4/

    This is basically how everyone else sees the US and China.

    Did the ICE truck run the protestor over? The 1987 Chinese tank didn't.

    Don’t know. Do know they ran over other protesters in 1987.

    I know they did not run over tank man. The same camera would have captured it, for one. But no one ever claimed they did, even at the time. The event being a big deal, gets revised in propaganda delusions. I can explain why event was big deal if needed, but was never a claim about PLA running over tank man.

    Except that one of those two pics everyone went their separate ways unharmed.
