This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the "10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter" bs are cranks. It's jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn't real level of crank shit and unless you're feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.

Sorry comrades, I'm absolutely clueless
Can someone please explain this event to me? I know it's grossly exaggerated and there's some CIA elements to it like operation yellowbird but I can't seem to get over the rut of smuglord fucks enthusiastically using it to shut me down when we have a discussion.
To start https://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/the_myth_of_tiananmen.php
There was also a Portuguese(?) ambassador who gave a first hand account that pretty much disproves the "accepted narrative" but I'm not looking up sources on my lunch break
There was also a Spanish news crew in the square all night. They show some footage of the corpses of some of the PLA soldiers that were tortured to death, and a couple civilian corpses as well, but you can clearly see when the order to disperse was given and the news crew follows the crowd out of the square as they sing The Internationale.
I'm also on lunch break, so same on finding a source
Thanks to all the responses, I'm learning everyday!
two good articles on it

Basically compare everything above with western propaganda and at the least you'll figure out western claims are bullshit.
