This is so sinophobic! Dont you know that never happened and if it did it was because of America and capitalism.

    probably referring to this I didn't check the sources myself but this does feel very convincing especially with the longer tank man video which doesn't fit the narrative I always hear for the picture

    That video is the exact person I was mocking. Its pure historical revision from a blantant propagandist. No one claims the tank ran anyone over, thats a strawman from people like the man in your video. The tank man is a powerful picture because its a man standing up to the army just after they slaughtered 1000s of uni students. If you felt convinced by that you should look into the history of what happened its a short read.

    Yeah there is no evidence to suggest what the numbers were the local gov said it was 300 dead so we know its at least that but others who were there estimated up to several thousand. Most estimates are 500-1500 range it seems with thousands wounded.

    It was a big protest and China tanks needed to be sent in so I think 1000 is reasonable.
