Which side are you on?#TheSympathizer, the new @HBO Original Limited Series based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, is coming to Max in 2024. #StreamOnMax...
Honestly wonder how good this will be or if it will have lots of weird "both sides" vibes.
Yeah saw that and honestly disappointed. The Vietnam conflict really was and still should be a cultural point in which American's mostly agreed that "we should never have been there" (even though its form the perspective of dead GIs and not the swaths of dead Vietnamese civilians brutally murdered and tortured).
Lol I don’t think Americans even believe that anymore. Look at Ukraine. I would say it’s nearly the complete analogue of the vietnam war but it’s just western vs anti-west capitalism rather than western capitalism vs Soviet-inspired communism. They want Russians to overthrow the government but refused to do the same to their own government for every war since Vietnam.
I think most people, normal not online people, I've chatted with in the stores have been of the simple opinion of "wtf are we doing over there and why are we spending so much money on it?" Though this isn't the best take it's a lot better than enlightened liberals with Slava Ukraine flags or weird ass Nazbols reping Russia as some great liberator against Western capital (instead of just being another force of just domestic/internal capital).
From the synopsis I’ve read, it’s both sidesy. But from the other commenters on here who have read it, it seems more complex but ultimately liberal
