      There are probably some out there, especially younger people or those who have only recently started educating themselves, who simply haven’t seen the second image before.

        Maybe, but I’d say if they don’t know Tank Man, seeing it in this context without further explanation is still unhelpful. Because they’re likely to think it’s a photo taken in America today.

        I’m just thinking about the Venn diagram of people who know who George Takei is, are of the right kind of mind that they would actually see the link between the two images, but have not seen the second image.

    One person stopping a vehicle, the other judging the people in the vehicle like a disappointed parent.

    Wait until the tankies come in here and tell you this guy was trying to stop them from leaving and asking them to go back and detain more immigrants while also claiming there were no immigrants there anyways

      I want to see the US soldier who swore to uphold the US Constitution operating a tank run down US citizens on US soil. Then we will know for sure China has won.

      LOL, nice try with the blatant dishonest spin. Too bad your attempt to falsely paint ICE as the ‘good guys’ falls flat if you’ve got two brain cells to rub together and realize that they were there to kidnap the workers, not arrest the owners.

      You mean unlike using real American citizens’ children as laborers, legally? Because I’m pretty sure the current administration is all for legalizing child labour.

      I dunno, last I heard about child labour from the US was all those factories being busted employing children. But I might get it confused with the children being shot in school, or the children with cancer being sent to Auschwitz. Its’ really hard to tell, what I do know is that the Republicans care about children and this is reflected in their actions.

      As for shooting ICE, that’s a civic duty.

        I believe there’s a whole section in the American Constitution that essentially covers this eventuality.

      And I’m sure those poor exploited children will be so much happier in El Salvador.
