Can’t imagine how much bleaker things would be today if the PRC had collapsed alongside the USSR, Warsaw Pact, Yugoslavia etc.

The full footage shows that the tanks were leaving the square, not entering. They stand in front of them, the driver tries to get around him, they climb on top and chat with the driver for a bit, then bystanders come and walk them away. They have never been identified, their motives never ascertained. It was a divisive time, they could have been stopping them for liberal anti-CPC reasons, they could have been a loyalist counter-protestor insisting they go back to remain in the square, they could have had undiagnosed mental illness and be having a breakdown at really inopportune time, etc

2 new friends in 4 years? That’s pretty great.

I tend to feel fact the tanks are leaving doesn’t necessarily disprove a liberal anti-CPC protestor. People do nonsensical protest actions all the time.

But even if they were it does show the restraint and humanity of the tank drivers.

It’s wild how Dems/libs have let this happen. I don’t think Kamala Harris would be a good candidate or president necessarily. But Biden can only get worse with time. Harris could get better for them. The Democrats should have been coaching and grooming her for this election for 4 years, instead of her wandering around drugged out of her mind saying random things, they could have buffed and polished her.

Like sure winning 2020? Okay, but there definitely needed to be an exit/succession plan straight away. And a better VP who can step up.

While it’s not safe to go to sleep while someone is restrained, memes like wife saying “tie me up and do whatever you want” then the husband is watching the football etc fail, because those scenarios ARE actually super hot.

It’s hot AF to be completely immobilised, blindfolded, gagged, etc while someone does something else they want and (pretends to) ignore you.

I agree I do think Hamas has more respect for international law and the laws of war than Israel.

That tweet about how Black Sabbath and KISS look and sound like someone mixed up their files making reality.

Is it propaganda if it’s true?

The best propaganda is the truth.
