We literally have the video of tankman climbing up the tank and not being flattened, it was even reported back in the day, but people downvoting you can’t be bothered to google that
I heard another version. According to that version, the man was a former soldier who recognized the tank model and wanted to know where was it built and who were inside it.
I think the downvotes are because the post implies that the Chinese did not kill anyone, when hundreds were murdered. What became of tank man is unknown, but it’s clear he wasn’t killed by one of those tanks.
I heard it was millions, and that evil communist xi xingping plans of doing it again and name it the scary communist leap forward after his favorite scary communist dictator mowz dong
Because, and anyone correct me if I’m wrong,
most people here know that what happened during the Tianenmen square insurrection was:
Soldiers, mostly the army choir, are ordered to come unarmed and clear the square after months of students protesting in favor of Usonian state-backed exploitative economic teachings.
100+ Soldiers killed, mostly the army choir, by insurrectionists at a road adjacent to the square.
Remaining army choir soldiers lead the protesters away through song from the square.
20+ Insurrectionists killed, as armed soldiers arrived and a battle broke out, on the same road.
100+ protesters killed, as a chaotic indirect consequence of the earlier insurrectionists’ actions, at a train station miles away.
Tanks arrive at the square to prevent further escalation.
Tanks leave the square as situation deescalated and tank man blocks the tanks for a while, then leaves, on the same road again.
These insurrectionists went a lot further than the Usonian Jan 6th protest mostly known as the “Freedom Plaza massacre” where “peaceful protesters” entered the capitol building in order to “stop election fraud” where “perhaps 10s of thousands civilian lives were killed as US security opened fire at these peaceful protesters”, because unlike CIA-backed insurrectionists, these “peaceful protesters” were ordered by their higher ups to leave immediately instead of being encouraged to block the US army from arriving at Capitol Hill or attack the US army for that matter.
I think the numbers are a bit off - official Chinese figures were ~20 student protestors, ~20 police and army, and about 200 other protestors were killed.
Probably the official CPC figure of 241 killed in total. Most of the serious estimates broadly agree - NSA said 180-500, and the Tiananmen Mothers organisation have identified 198 of the dead.

There is video of him being removed/taken away by others. He certainly was not crushed.
Bro literally had a conversation with the soldier in the tank.
He said “why are you leaving the square already? Turn this thing around and finish off those colour revolution assholes!”
I keep reading this but I never found the source. Is this actually true?

I was joking. Nobody knows what he said.
But it’s a fact that the video was from June 5th, the day after the violence, and that the tanks were leaving the square.

It was thousands. Perhaps 10s of thousands. You don’t care, why comment?
Are you being sarcastic?

Do you have a source for your estimate of deaths? 100+ is very ambiguous since it includes any number >100, which seems already beyond contention.

Don’t you mean hundreds of thousands, you redfash tankie?
