I actually saw comments on reddit saying "that tank driver in China at least tried to move to the side..."

I hate this shit. They think they are so clever but the guy wasn't even run over by the tank.

The lib's party line I think recognizes that now but say he was disappeared afterwards or something, because the video of him walking away was popular. They are saying US forces are worse than China, like "in the US they just keep going", so it's an improvement I guess versus saying 'we're just like those darn Chinese' when this stuff happens.

I saw one lib argue that someone was run over by a tank the day before and that the full tank man video is a tankie bait and switch to fool people into thinking that no one was run during the protests.

Idk how they would even know if he was disappeared, there has never been any confirmation on who he was as far as I can remember.

Yeah the rhetoric shifting will be interesting to see.

Bit idea: Make up random identities and claim that the reason you haven't heard of them is because the government disappeared them
