    Love the libs posting the tank man photo in the replies. Yeah, that’ll show the tyranny of the evil ceeceepee, horrific graphic video footage of a man where [checks notes] he is not killed, not injured, not threatened with being run over, nor arrested.

      I can’t find Eugene V Dabs’ “Yankees vs Tankies” video where it compares the clip of the Chinese tank stopping in front of tank-man, with footage of some US soldiers in Iraq running a tank over some guy’s car just because they’re mad at him.

        US soldiers in Iraq running a tank over some guy’s car just because they’re mad at him.

        It’s worse than that, they stopped this guy because he “stole” some wood, then they crush the car and the “stolen” wood with a fucking tank

      The comment section in general is really a testament to how the accusation of “Whataboutism” is simply liberal projection. Even if China were this 1984 Torture Circus like propaganda paints it as, trying to deflect to it or Russia/Iran/etc at every criticism of Burgerland should logically disqualify you from using the term.
