    The fact that I trust a Chinese tank driver “more”, doesn’t mean I trust a Chinese tank driver.

    It would have been better formed if I said “I distrust a Chinese tank driver less than an ICE agent-”

      No, the premise is stupid. Like sticking your left hand in a jar of deadly scorpion s and your right hand in a jar of deadly centipede and stating you like the stinging in your left hand better.

      I’m old enough to remember the footage being on live and the hope that this action brought to the world.

      Sadly a few weeks later tanks rolled over everything on Tianmen Square flattening bikes and human bodies alike.

      ICE is shit and everybody involved needs to rot in jail but so far they have not flattened anything with a tank. Given the chance they no doubt will murder people at the scale it happened on Tianmen Square.

      Comparing wannabe mass murderers (ICE) to accomplished mass murderers (CCP) doesn’t really help painting the wannabes as bad as they are.

      But you know what? I’m just going to join the majority of people that have already set this tankie instance on block. so you and your tankie friends, most of whom are some quarter-assed LLM bot anyway, can knock yourselves out in your little tankie echo chamber. Cheers

        What are you on about, there have been many instances where ICE drove over people. They have shot people.

        There hasn’t been a Tiananman square like massacre, but the Chinese were military forced to to slaughter countrymen or be shot themselves. They made the wrong choice, killing civilians. ICE is people willingly joining to do unlawful things to innocent civilians, SS style. Murder, concentration camps, torture, starvation, etc.

        The one is someone with a gun to their head, making the wrong choice. The other is making the wrong choice to willingly be the fucking gun.
