From what I read (yes I actually read the walls of text they post) the two weren't exclusive. There were violent protestors during that time, and the protests in the square were minor, nonviolent, and opposed by dispersion via an announcement rather than tanks.

I'm not sure if I believe all that, but it's better to know what they're actually saying, imo

The irony of being a tankie and pretending the tanks weren't there at one of the more notable moments of the CCP's existence.

I could be wrong but I think that's where the 'tankie' name comes from

"I'm not sure if I believe"

There's nothing to believe. Tankie lies are exactly that

So instead of twisting the truth to fit a narrative, they just make shit up?

There were over a 100,000 people at the square protesting. There were priests in over 400 Chinese cities.
