I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share. (lemmy.world)

Isn't this the classic photo?

I think the classic is the one where you see only 3 tanks.

All of those tanks are just on patriotic vacation. There is no other reason for them to be there.

That's odd, because that's the photo I immediately think of when the massacre is brought up. I thought it was really well-known.
