I’m starting to notice the half of Lemmy not federating with Hexbear is even more reactionary on average than I thought.
The more I learn about actual history, the more I realize that History ™️ is a lot like relying on cops body cameras to learn what happened:
“repression by Syngman Rhee?”
Camera was switched off
“Jeju Uprising?”
Camera was blocked by my uniform
“When the South invaded the North?”
Camera was malfunctioning
“When the North continued south to liberate it?”
When they violently invaded without provocation? I guess it was just a loose connection 'cause we got great footage of that!
I would support the North liberating the South even on the simple basis of the US colonial takeover of the latter. That said, did the South really invade first?
The South didn’t invade first, there were just repeated “border clashes” where South Korean soldiers advised by the US wanted to get ice cream from the soda shop but took a wrong turn and ended up in North Korea
Jeju uprising
Looked that one up, and once again the forces established to fight them used a skull on their logo.
Real AreWeTheBaddies energy no matter if it’s Ukraine or SKorea.
Listen to Blowback
I’m trying, man. It’s just too depressing to listen to more than an episode a week.
I listened to the first 2 eps and now took a break for a while, any tips on how I can get a quick refresher on what I’ve heard so far? I’ve forgotten who everyone is already
It might be worth listening at 1.5x speed. Idk if there are any posted summaries anywhere
never ask what was going on in the south when the north crossed the 38th parrallel
Just because the regime lead by an ultranationalist nutball was killing everyone to the left of Hitler doesn’t mean anything
They probably also think the Irish invaded England
If Ireland wasn’t lawfully England then why did English nobility own all the land?
Even if they did do an invasion, the proportional response is not deliberately firebombing every man, woman and child then bragging about it. That’s literally just genocide.
history started in June 1950
Yeah they got pushed to the other big instances when we got ml and ee.
It would be cool to press into one that is pissed about it’s Nazi problem and wants to do something about it (beehaw, maybe blahaj).
Both of those spaces literally don’t want us there despite the fact that it’s INCREDIBLY obvious that when you purge the left from your spaces you inevitably shift absolutely all participation in your space massively rightwards along with kicking out all the people who are actively involved and motivated to counter the far right.
They did this to themselves.
