You can repeat “US imperialism bad” as much as you want but learning the play by play is just absolutely mind blowing. Its always so much worse than you could initially imagine.

Nearly brought me to tears on a few occasions. I like the more humorous style of Season 1, but I think I appreciate more the seriousness that they’ve developed.

Dismantling the American empire is a must for a better future. Blowback shows me that America is doing empire shit on the regular. Plainly and professionally they are doing empire on a regular basis in these larger institutions.

For any comrade here who hasn’t heard the US’s crimes against the Korean people laid bare,

Here’s a google drive with all of season 3 of Blowback, including the bonus episodes. Enjoy, spread it around, and most of all, uncritical support to the DPRK in it’s heroic struggle to rid occupied Korea of the genocidal US Empire :kim-salute:

My Dad is going through it right now. He told me DPRK was justified going in.

His Grandpa was in charge of some military police or something in the war and he is legit just like “Holy shit, my Grandpa was evil”.

that takes a lot of introspection, frankly most people are ego driven to the point where they can’t actually make that assertion

dad is cooler by the minute

Mine said the same. Blowback is an amazing way to radicalize dads

i think even though we’re getting further away from the events every day that the details are still lurid enough and present IRL that even a podcast as well made and sourced as this still actives peoples’ i-heard-a-terrible-thing-brain-shutdown mechanism.

I read Jakarta Method a couple years ago and talking about any single part of the book to people had them shutdown almost immediately.

Its just so fucking heavy. All I can do is drop a bit here or there, “The airforce bombed the north so completely they ran out of targets”, “MacArthur had to have his command of nukes taken away in secret because Eisenhower thought he’d nuke china first if he got wind of them being taken away”. Small facts sometimes get through but string more than one together and they cant handle it.

Half of the country was fully MacArthur-pilled during the Cold War. They were installing Nazis into a bunch of positions of power. There was a reactionary mind virus infecting a big chunk of the populace

America needed a hero so the media manufactured one.

The more you learn about MacArthur, the more you learn what a piece of shit he was.

The whole chapter on the extermination was one of the most chilling things I have ever read.
