Not to mention, the US further punished Vietnam for winning through sanctions which made reconstruction significantly harder. There was no one to pay the country reparations and the aid they did receive was not enough to suddenly transition to a non-bombed, non-agent orange, non-massacred country. My parents lived as peasants through the war and famine and barely had any food for themselves or families - even the so called rich people at this time were barely above peasants, unless you were urban and had western connections. And the almighty, freedom loving Americans didn't lift a finger to help anyone. I don't care if my parents' anti communism is valid or not. Every American soldier, diplomat, intelligence agent, and their European and Asian stooges who was in Vietnam during the war deserves PTSD and suicide.

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
