I still find it so odd the tank didn’t want to run him over, when just the day before they had tanks running over hundreds of bodies over and over to the point where they could just spray the remains with a fire hose into the sewer.
When there are many people, you don’t have to look at individual faces. When it is one calm and harmless man, you can find the tank driver is human too. The driver was probably execured or something for not running the guy over.
We can’t keep fighting with the weapons of yesterday. Like it or not, propaganda is a part of resistance. Look back at all the WW2 propaganda in the US and the UK. We must take control of the message.
The blocker pussied out in the end? Was about to get his own Tiananmen moment but decided that taking a stand for what’s right should only come when personally safe to do so

Perception is more powerful than reality. You think the tankman from china actually accomplished much. But he is still a symbol today.

But do they have the same optics. Will they be perceived like this one? Probably not.
Okay post a really good picture right here in the thread.

It’s more than any of us have done. Often, genuine actions and words are much stronger than any impact they may initially have.

what does that even mean?
It means that of you think he did it wrong then you should go out there and do it right yourself.
I’ll leave that for any Americans left. Fix your own country. Call me when this fascist takeover shit is happening in Ottawa.

Just another American wanting a foreigner to do all the work, eh? Typical.
