This guy got so angry at being called out for not having been in the military (as I’m in the reserves and still a conditional pacifist by conviction) and only being able to come up with inane violence fantasies that he had to tag me in another thread.
Go read the original conversation here. Guess he had to try to make a new one, due to getting downvoted quite hard in the actual one for the admittedly silly things he said. :/
Go buff your Walmart pistols, that’ll make you feel safer.
Your refusal to read history doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
you know what? you’ve inspired me. believe it or not, i am a person who can change their mind. i’m going to play devil’s advocate here and take up the opposite position to what you propose, not because i want to prove i’m right but because you’ve taken the time to back up your argument with cited examples. i appreciate that. should we start a new thread somewhere? i’m new to lemmy so i’m not exactly sure where the right place would be. i have a lot to do today, so i won’t be able to counter you quickly.
let me just say that i’m not angry (well… i’m angry, but not at you). i recognize that we’re on the same side and i don’t want to disparage a fellow comrade. i respect the fact that you’ve had military training, and if i can prove you wrong, i hope that you would take a second look at the value you provide to the cause.
He did not. There are lesser known photos showing him leaving the street. I think a lot of people haven’t seen those.
I’m sure the Chinese government disposed of him if they were able to identify him. But as far as I know he’s never been identified. I hope not. Brave motherfucker.
I’ve seen the pictures on Reddit, years ago. After blocking the tank for a while, he walked off the street going left. He was not run over by the tanks in that column at least.
@Dasus@lemmy.world Man, if Boeing had only sung or used nonviolent resistance, I’ll bet these whistleblowers would have backed down as witnesses.
Also, tankman is dead. He got ran over by a tank. He really showed them.

i think this is probably one of the few times i’ve seen people start random beef with internet strangers, and i am fucking here for it to be honest.

we’ll discuss this more, hopefully.

i can’t cite a source, but i was under the impression he was widely believed to have been run over by the tanks.

I think that’s’ one of those “Mandela effect” things. It never happened, but a lot of people believe it did. Our brains take a lot of shortcuts.
Sound like an ambulance blocker apologist
