    This isn’t China, the cybertrucks wouldn’t be ordered to stop to avoid running him over. They’d just kill him.

        ?

        Tankman was able to stop a column of tanks because they didn’t want to kill him. That is a good thing.

        Do you actually think if a similar situation happens today in the US that the fascists won’t order them to run him over?

          ?

          What about the massacre that happened that day?

          That situation has yet to occur in the US and or Canada and even if it does, it would pale in scale to what has happened already in China.

          Now please go on and tell everyone how I have to back up my claims of a massacre (Tiananmen Square protests and massacre 1989) then say that I am spreading false information about an event that never happened and that any link I provide is just western propaganda/misinformation.

            Lol. What a deeply unserious sentence

            You do have to remember that China just has a denser population than the US - during the Tienemen protests China already had over a billion people. If you compare these numbers per capita, the last time we had mass violence on a similar scale was in the 60s.

            But what you’re ignoring is that the US, under Trump, will not order the tanks to stand down when a person stands in front of them.
