It’s the 1989 Tiemaman square Tank Man picture and Xi Jinping as Whinnie the Pooh, images commonly censored in China as one of them demonstrates clear oppression and the other discredits the CCP.

Oppression is when you stand in the way of a tank and the tank stops for you, and then you climb on top of the tank and have a conversation with the guy in the tank, and then you walk off completely unharmed

Crushed protestors were washed down drains with hoses

Hey, did those protestors have bones? Were they wearing clothes? Do you have the first clue about how the human body and/or physics work?

There were actually numerous western reporters in the square and they all say nobody died there, some of them sent off diplomatic cables the same or the next day saying so, which were released by Wikileaks.

Oh, so @CookieJarObserver is using the racist Whinnie the Pooh insult.

As always. Scratch a liberal and a fascist/racist bleeds.

Things can undergo a transformation, just because the original usage might have been innocent. If something starts being used by white racists or western imperialists in a racist way, would ya look at that, it’s racist.

Also, it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability. Like you are doing now.

And you realise that watermelons originated in Africa, right?

You realise that the origin of something doesn’t determine the depictions of it supporting racist stereotypes, such as a vast array of disgustingly racist caricatures of black people eating watermelons isn’t absolved by the fact that watermelons originated in Africa, right?

How dare those tanks not run over that man! Don’t they understand that freedom is when you just plow into people like US security forces do.
