Events with verifiable footage such as TS where the footage is conveniently cut off right before the man in front of the tank is safely escorted away if you look at the full footage.

Also, Tiananmen Square is in the background of said footage. The tank is actively driving away from it, but who needs context when the goal is to demonize China?

Can you share this footage?

My app doesn't allow that, but I'm sure you can find it on Youtube if you type "tank man full footage" with people in the comments completely talking out of their asses about how the tank man is so brave for resisting the Chinese government when in fact the tanks were driving away from the square and also didn't run him over which is often implied.
