    I know it amounts to nothing, but I'm kinda proud of this

    Why would you celebrate the national day of an communist country who you lost a war against and drove many Vietnamese Americans from their homes?

    It’s because San Francisco loves communism. That’s why.

    The Americans invaded their country to intervene in an anti-colonial struggle against the French, dropped more bombs than they did in World War II, deployed over 20 million gallons of Agent Orange, and killed over two million Vietnamese. Ho Chi Mihn literally quoted Thomas Jefferson, and this is what we did to their country.

    Thomas Jefferson was a liberal slaveowning rapist and can rest in piss, but American national mythology is a hell of a drug and Uncle Ho wielded it so deftly against these pigs that it is still rhetorically useful.

    google is predictably unhelpful (only returning results on a massacre the viet cong did and the my lai massacre, :roll 🙄) but South Vietnam was a police dictatorship that massacred communists before the war, right? or do I have that confused with South Korea (which I know def killed tens of thousands before the war)

      Nope, they both followed a similar model afaik with basically just top down military and capitalist control

    Also the guy going "all south Vietnam refugees were capitalists actually" is one of those leftist things I really dislike because it doesn't make any sense. War is hell, people fled from it. Just say that, and that way you don't have to condemn your side, nor make the silliest argument.
