    General consensus is that there wad no massacre on the square. Once had a tankie bringing all the sources that says “Nothing happened on Tienanmen square but PLA killed thousands of people outside of it”.

    They’re delusional. There is little use in trying to engage with them. Convince other people who may unironically be convinced by them but don’t engage with them.

      I don’t think that’s a consensus at all. Most of the reports I have seen suggest that the violence started in the square when students were attacked minutes after they had agreed to leave, as soon as they had broke ranks, as it were. The violence then spread throughout the city afterwards as various groups attempted to reorganize in different places.
