    Yeah it’s definitely more a hypothetical that can be imagined than it is a concrete reality that happened. Makes sense.

      The settler-colonial hypothetical is more comparable to this atrocity than the Tiananmen Square massacre. Did you associate this with Tiananmen Square simply because of tanks?

        Are you implying running over people with tanks is so common that we shouldn’t have associated the two?

        What a weird thing to imply.

          Between all the different conflicts since tanks were invented during WW1, it’s a more common occurrence than either of us know.
