    The lib’s party line I think recognizes that now but say he was disappeared afterwards or something, because the video of him walking away was popular. They are saying US forces are worse than China, like “in the US they just keep going”, so it’s an improvement I guess versus saying ‘we’re just like those darn Chinese’ when this stuff happens.

      I saw one lib argue that someone was run over by a tank the day before and that the full tank man video is a tankie bait and switch to fool people into thinking that no one was run during the protests.

      Idk how they would even know if he was disappeared, there has never been any confirmation on who he was as far as I can remember.

      Yeah the rhetoric shifting will be interesting to see.
