If it was America the tank would have run him over.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Yup, wouldn't have even slowed down. Also if he managed to avoid getting run over long enough to climb all over the tank like he did, someone wouldve popped out of the tank to blast him. And if he somehow survived long enough for the bystanders to get involved they would've held him down for the cops, not dragged him off and told him to stop antagonizing tank operators

Israel certainly would

Give Trump just a bit more time and it will happen.

"It was my inauguration. So no protest. No protest. But he wanted to be America Tank Man. Dumb. My guys - my guys - my strong and powerful guys in the tank told the democrat to move. But he didn't move. So bye-bye. Lotsa people don't know this but a tank has reverse. So the tank went forward and backward. Forward and backward. Forward and backward. Very messy. Very hard to clean."

The hardest photo has to be the palestinian guy with the slingshot

From recent years, this one from Baton Rouge comes to mind as well.

what is happening in this photo? it got some pepsi vibes at first glance but also she has knocked two pigs over with the power of her glare?

This article explains the photo in more detail: https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/taking-a-stand-in-baton-rouge

She also pissed off libs in the aftermath because she dared defy the party line:

“People saw me and kept championing the ‘peaceful protest,’ and that’s fine,” Evans said.

But she says observers began to grow skeptical of her resistance strategies as she became more outspoken politically, critiquing not only President Donald Trump, but former President Barack Obama and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, as well. Some people now hesitated to lend their support once her uncompromising ideas of civil rights came into view, she said.

i hate liberals so fucking much

[-] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

I think they were charging up to cuff her, expecting her to try to run and when she didn't they've had to slow down on the spot (in body armour) abruptly and they look very awkard.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

THIS is the hardest photo ever. Can your eye do that?

"Fist bump" might simply be a typo but I suspect it was intentional. Redditors in places like r/politics can be ridiculous but if you're a lib - you don't have to try hard or be clever to get replies. You can write down any old lib brain fart and people will talk to you. But Bluesky a like free-for-all with a very low response rate so everybody is trying all the time to be cool as possible.
