There’s actually a video of it too that a lot of people haven’t seen (Video visuals are SFW, though there is gunfire sounds in the distance in the second half). The image alone misses a lot of what the guy did, he even climbed on top of the tank.

That moment when you go shopping, but have to stop a column of tanks on the way home.

Look, all I’m saying is that I have yet to see any definitive proof that China really exists. A flag with 5 stars and 2 colors? Who do they expect to fool with that?

Also the borders are so inconsistent. One minute it’s 9 dashes, next they’re claiming it’s 10 dashes. Can’t even keep a story straight.

And a giant ass wall all around it? Ppfsht, yeah, right. Just believe in fairy tales if you want to.

I saw a picture of China’s purported leader but it was just Winnie the Pooh.
You can’t fool me with cartoons.

I’ve seen lots of people who say they’re from China, but they all look just like Japanese people, can I really just take them at their word?

Nice try, @gullible@kbin.social
