They'd have it on self driving and wouldn't notice him until it plowed him over.
Not if they combust first!
You haven't seen the whole picture.
What do you mean?
The tankman incident happened the day after the massacre as the military was dispersing. The interesting photos are from the day prior.
Tankman stood in front of the tank the day after the military opened fire on and ran over protesters. Context adds a lot more to the story.
They used hoses to wash the flattened remains of many protestera into the sewers.
The tanks ran them over.
There is zero evidence of this happening, but that doesn't stop reactionaries repeating this bit of disinformation constantly
Are there photos or videos or anything of this? Dang. Wonder why they would've let the one from the famous photo go so easily then.
Edit: this doesn't seem to be verifiable as far as I can tell. The one source I can find is a diplomatic cable that says he heard from someone who heard from a friend that this happened, not quite first hand info. Would like to see anything you all can find though.
There's literal no evidence that that it ever happened, and indeed it would violate the laws of physics (human bodies aren't just bags of fluid). It's one of those anti-communist myths that get past by western reactionaries
Warning: Some of the photos in the link are VERY gory Yes there are photos.
I just went through 99 photos and none of them seem to help the argument that they ran over a gathering of people and washed them down drains
The ones I thought to see were not there, but I remember seeing a very disturbing archive on r/nsfl before that sub got locked (this was about a decade ago I think, somewhere between 2013 and 2015).
Yes. There are photos.
No, there are not
Fantastic work
This jab hits two targets at once, nice
The way he's holding $400 worth of eggs is also very moving
More value than the Cybertrucks
This is perfect
The only way it could be better is if it had a couple of more lanes. Would be more realistic that way.
the closest thing we got to this in 2025 is Luigi
Looks about the right count of concerned people.
This isn't China, the cybertrucks wouldn't be ordered to stop to avoid running him over. They'd just kill him.
@QuentinCallaghan bruh do not trust this car's pedestrian safety functions!!!
Can’t be responsible if you’re sleeping ;)
Ah, I was just about to post this.
This is the perfect post for lemmy on so many levels.
I heard a Tesla took him aside and beat him to death.
(Picture to scale)
NEVER HAPPENED!!! EASTERN PROPAGANDA!!!
