The Viet Cong were no angels. They killed my grandpa, who was affectionately known as the Kansas Kid Killer. They wiped out his whole unit, the Easterner Exterminators.
Have these Vietmanese people no shame?

"how evil Americans are, which is not true"
Lmao holy shit what a burgerbrain, they're literally going "nuh uh! Ur wrong 😭!!"
Guys I went to a revolutionary war museum in America and it was nothing but blatant anti-English propaganda! Heavily lacking in nuance, no talk of the bad things Americans did to the crown.
Americans CLAIM to respect property but then they went and STOLE the WHOLE COUNTRY from the king! And act like they're the victims!!
Great part about this comparison is the self-mythologizing about the Revolutionary War about how our brilliant minutemen were hiding in trees and ambushing British soldiers.
It’s only smart and cunning when we do it
A side note but it was immensely funny to me to discover the British call it a civil war instead, lol
Don't these commies know we had to destroy that village in order to save it?
we have heroically liberated every innocent villager from the authoritarian grip of life!
I have strong feelings about this but they are inexpressabale.
something like "everyone in this image should be set on fire and thrown into a pit of gasoline" perhaps?
No, I'm not really down for punitive killing. But re-education camps? Oh yeah, 100%.
I aint gonna delete them
Oh of course we have an emote lmao
Sometimes, you gotta pop out and show yankees
"so many facts and events distorted that I can't even name one!"
Most propagandized people on the planet.
I think I'm entering a Joker-ified era and feeling some grotesque glee at seeing these people flail and whine as they are forced to confront the objective evil of the US colonial empire.
must be nice to think you live in the superhero nation and there just so happens to be evil villain nations who want to destroy you with their propaganda..
You are trapped in the belly of a horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.
Jokerfication is self care.
In the Netflix series, Ken Burns says the war was ”begun in good faith by decent people, out of fateful misunderstandings”, and aren't both sides to blame, really? A much more balanced view.
I thought that documentary made the Americans look like disgusting monsters who kill for fun and it was still too kind to them.
If only, the documentary left out Agent Orange completely. Regular massacres by US troops received exactly zero mention. But a lot of time was wasted of crying how the war divided the american public, with forder anti-war protesters crying how bad they were to their ghoulish neighbours.
studying liberal theory...
When you're a decent NSA agent acting in good faith (by lying) to foment escalation in a war your country has no business participating in anyway.
"The Vietnamese don't understand anything that we did to their country, but I, a white westerner afraid to leave my house because of news propaganda designed to manipulate, understand literally everything better than they do. This is why you should do what I say and watch a Netflix show about it instead"
Americans are scum of the earth
Don't insult scum.
its communist propaganda
Gonna cry burgerboy
The people leaving these negative reviews should have a flachette volley dropped over their suburban ranch-style homes.

i want to see this museum
https://www.willflyforfood.net/war-remnants-museum-a-grisly-reminder-of-the-vietnam-war-in-ho-chi-minh-city/ here's an article about it
Looking at the man in the cage and the Agent Orange pictures, if you see this and cry 'one sided' you have no soul.
Maybe if they put pictures of the soldiers who accidentally AO'd themselves instead of civillian families it'd be less biased
What does AO stand for?
Agent orange, there are US vets suffering chemical friendly fire ☠️ https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/hazardous-materials-exposure/agent-orange/
The occidental does not value human life.
Operating the poison machine has got to be one of the shittiest jobs in the world. (Still better than being the one it's used on)
I recommend seeing it if you ever get the chance.
It's one of the things that shook the anarchism out of me.
shook the anarchism out of me.
If you have the time/energy would you mind elaborating? I'm not an anarchist but sometimes I am at a loss for good ways to explain why
If he expounds too much he risks a ban, but let’s just say the the Vietnamese were an extremely organized and disciplined group who very much relied on authority
I don't think respectfully explaining merits a sectarianism ban but yeah, that's fair. I was thinking there might be something more specific than "these people were extremely successful and they were communists"

Yeah I remember when I watched Red Dawn all I could think was this is just American propaganda to slander all the invading Russian/DPRK soldiers as war criminals; Yes I agree some troops committed war crimes in America, but not all those Americans were poor, innocent people. They need to show both sides. Don't bother going over there, just watch the Russian show instead.
