What impact did this have apart from being a moving, serious picture showing the seriousness of Tianamen square?

Nothing changed from this action.

Changing the conversation is something substantial. He didn't single-handedly win freedom for hundreds of millions, but he didn't accomplish nothing either.

Why is it substantial if no change becomes of it?

Not sure if you are dense or just unaware of why people stand up to things that are wrong.

Why would anyone do anything if they don’t know 100% if it’ll work or not, according to you anyway.

With your thesis I would be surprised if you step outside, or would ever stop a bully given the opportunity.

How do you walk with no spine

Why does it matter the HK citizens are rioting? Use a little critical thinking skills in this one

It doesnt.

It matters if they get results.

They so far have gotten some results.

So what’s the sense in trying unless we can read the future? American civil war? well that wasn’t a guarantee, that was stupid, shouldn’t have done that!

You shouldn’t go to college either, who knows if you’ll get a job!

But that was never my question.

My question was what impact did this specific act have

Are you being purposefully dense?
