"Learn history" (thelemmy.club)

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?"

cop Camera was switched off

"Jeju Uprising?"

cop Camera was blocked by my uniform

"When the South invaded the North?"

cop Camera was malfunctioning

"When the North continued south to liberate it?"

cop When they violently invaded without provocation? I guess it was just a loose connection 'cause we got great footage of that!

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.

I'm trying, man. It's just too depressing to listen to more than an episode a week.

Brace and Liz have had them on, do they talk about the skulls? What episode should I start with?

[-] Florn@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

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?

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.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
