Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).
Reality: A brave, unknown protestor blocks a column of tanks leaving Tiananmen Square after the massacre. Video footage appears to show hin eventually being removed by two folks in blue. There are conflicting stories about what happened to him afterwards, some think he was removed by government agents, others by concerned bystanders.
And a lot of civilians were killed during that protest. This image and all information regarding this event is banned in China. But they'll tell you that it's all fake.
I always wonder if the guys in those tanks lose any sleep at night over what they did that day.
Tankies: 🙈
I don't get it? I mean have you seen the full video? This guy hops on the tank, yells at some of the soldiers and eventually gets shooed away by some bystanders.
Thankfully, it turned out to be nothing. Complete false alarm.
Rockwell, where you at???
