Have you seen the blood streaks that tank tracks create? You can look at some of the videos in Gaza if you want to.

Try again, maybe this time with actual evidence instead of unfounded conjecture.

Edit: To clarify, I don't think anybody is denying that people were hurt and killed on 6/4. Let's make that clear. If anything, the Tank Man video shows that tank drivers were under orders to avoid civilian casualties.

Thank you for demonstrating my point.

It's very funny to me that you keep bringing up Gaza like it's some counterpoint to what I'm saying, when all you're doing is pointing out another bloodthirsty regime's crimes. Do you think that Israel's government being evil is somehow a rebuttal to China's government being evil?

You haven't provided any actual evidence.

Is your point that your opinion is built on vibes?

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, no evidence of anything, just images of the massacre. But those could really depict anything!

lmao

You're claiming there's a blood smear from a tank running over a body.

Have you seen a tank before? Do you think a tank is just a single block of metal?
