It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Fucking bullshit. I spent a couple of months in Vietnam and the sentiment is the opposite, first off they call it the American war. Words matter and in this case they it’s clear they view it as a war caused and perpetuated by a foreign government and not as a civil war between south and north.
Second is the fact that almost all museums and everyone I talked with is not hiding their disdain for the treatment and warcrimes committed against their family in this war. And their pride in having survived the war as a more unified country, this shows in their sentiment towards the renaming of Saigon to Ho-Chi-Minh City.
Anecdotal of course but I’m really not sure where he met these people, my experience is like I wrote abough, North through South.
"have a talk with them about the old country" would seem to imply they are only talking to people who emigrated from Vietnam, not anyone currently living there.
Which obviously is going to skew it more towards them praising the US. Immigrants usually have more issues with their home country than the people that choose to stay
"We can't just call it the American war, you'd have to ask which one?"
just start handing out numbers
