    Public service: the video this YouTube account uploaded before this one is titled “The Tiananmen Square ‘Massacre’ Never Happened”.

    Remember folks, check your sources.

      I watched it. Was well sourced. Never knew there was a full video of the tank man moment and the person blocking the tank was blocking it from driving away from the square. And climbed into the tank.

        Interesting that there’s “new information” after deep faking videos become increasingly easy…

          The tank man video has been available for a very long time, liberals just never actually watched it. They just got shown short clips and then got told a narrative about how he was fighting a tank and lost.

          This is how capitalist propaganda works. The propagandized don’t even realize it’s happening. They just hear a narrative and internalize it, with the propagandists knowing the targets will never actually investigate the veracity. He’ll, they know that a ton of their targets will even reflexively defend the propaganda line and attack those who did end up questioning it and investigating!

          Every person you see calling someone else a Russian not is doing this, for example.

          The full video has existed for a long time. It was filmed by western journalists.

          You are free to check out Hakims video on it. The comments you are making are addressed in it.

      That video and its title are both correct and it is historical revisionism to say otherwise.
