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.

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

heartbreaking

When Communists hold power, too often we still let libs get away with their petty obstructions and wrecking.

Isn't that the guy that climbed on the tank, annoyed them for a few minutes, then got shooed away by bystanders?

People have some weird thought that this guy died that day. The video exists. https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk

They think the bystanders were undercover cops and that he was disappeared.

In the same breath that they say these tanks were on their way to/from smushing all the protesters to pulp and washing it all down the drain (my mom actually told me this)

Of course then you ask why tf this guy got away, they don't believe he did, you show them this, and it's either fake or they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location. Insanity.

they couldn't kill him because the media was watching this location

Must blow their mind to know that the media was there all night, and a Chilean ambassador watched everything unfold

There's never been any actual evidence of that though has there. As far as I know no one ever credibly came forward and said 'I was tank man' or 'my husband / partner / son was tank man's etc. This always seems like speculation based on nothing when I hear it repeated.

this dude probably tells his story of dunking on tanks at bars and like nobody believes him or cares but they laugh with him and poor him another lol.

An unfalsifiable orthodoxy.

In school the teacher showed us the video and then stopped it right when the tank stops in front of him. The teacher then said 'this was the only footage to escape the oppressive communist Chinese government'.

Lmao what a fucking snake

Yeah, what the tweet meant is that liberals love to annoy working class people just doing their job.

I remember the tank man photograph in school text books and posters and boomer memes. Finding out a video exists is like the political version of finding out Santa Clause isn't real.

If you go to some of the uploads of it on Youtube, the comments are filled with people experiencing the mandela effect like "Whaaaaaa?? I could have sworn I saw this decades ago and he died? Is this edited??"

Turns out that repeating a lie often enough really does make it true

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

Liberals will look at this and still think muh 1984 jorjor well totalitarian China carried out a massacre during the June 4th protests. Just look at the comments on the video.
