Israel's tank doesn't stop. Just ask Rachel Corrie
-
What are we, a bunch of Asians?
-
Those tanks refer to regimes and governments, not the people, there are good people and bad people everywhere in every country.
-
This "blame the government not the people" schtick has got to go..
This thinking is just an attempt to resolve a cognitive dissonance or something. Basically, it ends up looking like you coyly address the issue without trying to anger anyone, which ends up watering down the whole point...
Fuck it, just say "Fuck America" because Fuck America, "Fuck the EU" because fuck the EU and I don't only mean the countries within the union and "Fuck the Commonwealth" because fuck the Commonwealth. No punch pullsies. And no hiding behind a palatable Tank Man for Westoids to reinforce their biases, even in good meaning.

I get the intent here, but Tank Man as a symbol of defiance against tyranny is a product of US ant-China/anti-communist propaganda. Previously:
It may surprise you to learn that tank man was standing in the way of tanks leaving the square and going back to base. After climbing on to the tank and talking with the crew, he eventually left the area with some other civilians.
Video of exactly that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk- The Tian’anmen Square ‘Massacre’: The West’s Most Persuasive, Most Pervasive Lie.

I hate ant-China! You can never get the bowls clean enough and the plates barely hold anything.

Your "West never shows" images are missing some dead students (NSFL obviously)
-
China isn't communist, your sources aren't reliable, and they were tyrants on that day.

The PRC is in the primary stage of socialism. The large firms and key industries are state owned, while there is diverse ownership of medium and small firms such as cooperative, private, and joint-stock. It has not reached communism:
As for the June 4th incident, it was a tragedy. Legitimate greivances were hijacked by CIA-backed protest leaders that admitted to wanting to spark a massacre, then when the PRC showed restraint for a month some of the protestors started lynching unarmed PLA officers and burning them alive in vehicles by firebombing them. This sparked the state response, which was an immense tragedy, but at the same time this was an entirely avoidable outcome that only really happened because the west took advantage of a protest and changed it from being a Maoist protest into a liberal one begging for colonization from the US.
To this day, despite records stating that around 1-300 people died, the west still claims 10,000 were killed based on a falsified British cable.

Right… the video and photos are fakes and Columbia Journalism Review is a conspiracy rag 🙄
You Are Not Immune To Propaganda
Previously on c/asklemmy: What are some good places to start getting acquainted with American politics in as unbiased a manner as possible?
The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.
The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.
This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.
The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.

I’ve criticized MBFC & Ad Fontes before:
-
Tyrants were heroes who freed the people from evil monarchs. The establishment (evil monarchs' buddies) hated tyrants so much they wrote all sorts of "tyrants bad" stories.
-
-
Not enough Arab autocracies in line there. Egypt and Saudi get much less hate about their role in the genocide than they deserve.
-
Those arab countries was bough by the usa to support israel. Still not excusing their complicities
-
Can't buy what's not for sale.

-
I remember this image was at the top of the controversial sort.
-
I don't like this.
It portrays a false consensus for Israel. The opposite is true.
-
How many countries lied about stop sending weapons. How many still talk about israel right to defense. How many still refuse palestinians tight to resistsace and a military?
-
Fewer than 30
-
-
-
But America is the only country that still supports Israel.
-
How are you getting upvoted? Pretty much every one of the US's vassal states in europe is supporting Israel with weaponry.
-
This is getting ridiculous. Is there nothing you’re not wrong about? Has it occurred to you that what a state publicly says and what that state’s stance on the matter might actually be is not always the same?
-
Well that's just obviously not true
-
False
-
True only if usa means all of the usa's empire

Laughably false image. The zionist entity tank would NOT stop. The American tank would NOT stop. The British tank would NOT stop. The German tank would NOT stop.
And nearly all of them would say the protestor was a terrorist and justify it would say they were antisemitic and deserved it, would slander their character in death and use it to justify a crackdown on speech because they want to prevent more people acting like that.
The problem is that Westerners were and are to assume that Tank Man got squished, despite the photographic & video evidence to the contrary. It was an exemplary work of propaganda, and I’m pretty sure most people ate that onion whole.
Not that minute, but he could easily have been one of the several thousand who died that were squshed and washed down the drains.
People not only don't know what's happening to them, they don't even know that they don't know.
Try to tell them and,
Sounds like wherever you live needs a good old invasion and some colonialism. That'll get you thinking right!
Would stop, but only to avoid creating a martyr.
not at all. first of all the IOF kill people for sport. literally maiming children deliberately as a game, for fun. if they worried about martyrs they would at least hesitate to kill aid workers from other countries. they don't care because they're not people. they're demons.
