    I saw this and gave him an upvote in solidarity. I was gonna comment but don’t really wanna deal with contrarian bullshit stress today.

    I’m reading Killing Hope in chunks and according to that text, it’s unsure who did what to start the actual Korean War but it sounded a lot like the whole ass scenario was basically a powder keg waiting for any spark.

    I’ve also read that a majority of the population was for communism.

    I also read that McCarthy tried to unexist all of North Korea until China intervened since the US was shitting all over their doorstep.

    People say “learn history” as if there isn’t 4 different accounts depending on what narrative you are after.

    Like sure guy, what history do I need to learn to satisfy your western take on a situation that happened on the other side of the planet 40 years before you were born?
