    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!

    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.

    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.
