I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share. (lemmy.world)

Thanks for sharing. Every time I see a picture of the Tiananmen Square massacre I get shivers. That man is one of the most amazing icons of resistance against oppression. I like to think of myself as brave but I'm genuinely skeptical if I'd have the courage to stand in front of a tank that way.
