    "Tankie"
    Noun. Definition: Someone who would rather investigate an issue instead of talking about their ass.

    Seriously this is straight up the kind of thought terminating cliche you people accuse socialist countries of instilling in their people.

    Hey buddy, you can just scroll down and look at any of the dozens of sources that were linked on this thread that will disprove your historical revisionism. Or I guess you could use your time more wisely and play the 14th League game of the night, IDK, whatever floats your boat.

    Wrong on a couple of counts. The tanks are leaving the square in this photo, and there wasn't a massacre on the square. The hundreds that died that day did so in scattered areas across Beijing.

    The person in this photo walks on top of the tank, talks to the driver, and then leaves.

    They're about to massacre a whole bunch of people indiscriminately but this one grocery shopper is off limits? They're being really polite for soldiers that were ordered to put a demonstration down by any means necessary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk

    aw they're banned :(
