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.

          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?

        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.
