1. Destined to become a classic

2. EU should boycott those Chinese cars.

3. Except in America no one demonstrates. They accept / want fascism.

4. Are those armored Tesla cybertrucks?

5. This is an insult to tiannmen square. Tesla is not equivical to the CCP.

6. Are there any protests in US at all? I have heard only of illegal immigrants protesting. Or is this supposed to be Europe, or reddit? Compare that to tienanmen massacre where thousand have died for democracy fighting army and tanks.

7. Deeply inaccurate deeply corny and also somehow deeply offensive???

8. So the protestor wants to stop the CT from turning left? I thought turning far right was the problem!

9. I get the feeling but this is not 2016, they should fight smarter, not harder.

10. Isn’t the road a bit too steep for a Cyber Truck?

11. The original was a powerful image that in the end did not change anything in china. Let’s hope that this is not the case here.

12. More likely that China turns into a democracy than Americans protesting so much they call in the military.

13. -500 credit score

14. I mean, this is a little bit too much, and it’s actually disrespectful for the victims of the actual Tiananmen Massacre. I don’t support this at all

15. This is a very powerful cartoon.

16. evil ccp! Glory USA!

17. most western journalists that were at tiananmen square at the time of the incident basically agree with the cpc’s narrative of the event.

18. Many Chinese are struggling to understand the meme

19. Nothing happened on Lafayette Square

20. Except half the time Americans will try to run over protesters. More than half the time if they drive a cybertruck.

21. Brilliant.

22. How to piss off both Orange Mussolini and Winnie the Poop in one go. Love it.

23. This is brilliant

24. This is what art should be used for right now. I’m an Art director (from South Africa) and a strong believer in art for social change. It was used so effectively during Apartheid and helped open up people’s eyes to the injustices happening here. We need more of this.

    r/politicsinthewild if anyone knows of other artists that we can showcase to help bring awareness to current issues.

25. I really enjoy this foreshadowing. Everything works, from the grocery bags also present in the original, up to the Tesla models. Well done to the cartoonist, it really shows what’s about to come and has already began.
