It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Tbf, I think the original person you were talking to was specifically talking about violence to the tank man, but I'm not going to move the goalposts here, since idk what they meant.

I wasn't exactly sure what exactly you meant.

Thanks! This is the first time I've seen that particular picture, captioned that way. I'd definitely heard of trucks hitting people during the events, and I definitely believed people got hit by tanks, but normally it is described in a ludicrous fashion of 'hundreds of people mowed down and crushed to paste in the streets'. This particular image is perfectly believable, and fits with both Chinese government and other witnesses description of the events.
