  You may wish to remove the ?si=… tracking string from your URL. It might also be worth editing in some context: right now, it's a bare YouTube link (which I don't particularly want to click on). Is this footage? A video essay? A pop song?

  Nice subtle twisting of words. There’s an enormous difference between driving slowly through a crowd of protestors with no injuries versus running over protesters with a tank.

    I didn't twist anything. If anything, I would argue YOU are twisting words of the original comment to which I responded: >> the United States government rolling through protesters in armored vehicles > I'm sorry, did I miss something? Is this something that's happened (ever)?

      It's the first three lines of the Narcissists Prayer[1] That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal... 1: https://www.thelifedoctor.org/the-narcissist-s-prayer https://www.thelifedoctor.org/the-narcissist-s-prayer

        I honestly don't understand why you posted the Narcissist's Prayer; however, to clarify: the original comment I responded to referred to another comment that said, "the United States government rolling through protesters in armored vehicles," to which I replied, in part, "it's a video of a WCCO news (local MSP TV station) segment which shows an armored vehicle pushing protesters out of the way." The person who said I was twisting words said (emphasis mine), "There’s an enormous difference between driving slowly through a crowd of protestors with no injuries versus running over protesters with a tank." At no point did I nor the comment I responded to use the words, 'running over protesters with a tank'.

        No, no, no--you're the one who's right. The others are running with the "prayer." "United States government rolling through protesters in armored vehicles" "Did this really happen?" You: Video of it actually happening. Response: Yea, but that video didn't show them "running over protesters with a tank"

        Got it; thank you for the clarification.

      No I was referring to the original comment twisting words. They intentionally invoke the horrors of dictators running over protesters to disperse them. Your comment showed the actual event, thanks. It showed an armored vehicle slowly pushing through protesters to gain access to something. Not remotely comparable scenes, so I must assume intentional twisting of words. My comment was written sloppily.

    show me any photo or video showing the tank man of Tiananmen actually got run over by the tank. you got brainwashed.

      I don't think anyone is claiming that the specific famous tank man of Tiananmen got run over by the tank. However, there is plenty of evidence that people got "mowed down by tanks" at Tiananmen Square: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-why-is-the-army-shooting-people-tiananmen-in-1989-1999-and-200/#1999 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-why-is-the-arm...

        you intentionally omitted the most important context here - those sad deaths happened after many army APCs and Tanks were attacked & destroyed. https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/1k2ungn/pla_armored_vehicles_destroyed_during_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/1k2ungn/pla_armor... too bad that China didn't embrace its Beijing Spring back in 1989.
