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?”
“Jeju Uprising?”
“When the South invaded the North?”
“When the North continued south to liberate it?”
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.
big mood
Brace and Liz have had them on, do they talk about the skulls? What episode should I start with?
Season 3 is about the Korean War.
Seasons 1 and 2 are about the Iraq War and the Cuban Revolution and Season 4 is about Afghanistan.
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
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
I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
Was this consistently southerners in the north and not the reverse?
I don’t think you can really apply that sort of northerner-southerner thinking because the border only arose in the last few years and you’ve got left leaning fleeing the south and anticommunists going south. But recollection it was generally as you put it.
Skirmishes. Lots of them. I think you’d enjoy the Korean War section of blowback. Or if that’s not your slice of cake, they have a source material page so you can read the books yourself.
