Liberals will kick and scream about the fascism of Tianamen without stopping to ask why the Tank Driver stopped and even tried to drive around Tank Man without success.

The idea that an American civilian could survive getting that close to a military vehicle - that this kind of protest wouldn’t be used to justify his murder - is utterly alien to the Western brain.

So much of this image is pregnant with what Americans understand a US police officer would do to an unarmed protester. You’ll never see pictures of what happened next, because it flies in the face of the narrative.
