tankies vs. the one true centrist leftist.
When did a convoy of tanks ever stop because of one person? I asked claude and it said there are no historical records on this, the only time a tank ever stopped was in this case.
claude previously said this was not a show of chinese mercy, but after pointing that out it said "hmm good point" lol
If it was so easy to stop tanks, there would be no wars, imagine if a single iraqi could stop the US invasion (or a single american citizen in Iraq), or if a single ukranian could stop russia, or even a single russian that is not ok with the war
Tank Man should be a symbol of how peaceful the Chinese are, no tanks from almost any other country would ever have stopped. Hell, in South America the military police drives over innocent people with their huge ass semi tank SUVs all the time.
