"baddies on all sides" gets a downvote from me.
At the very most favorable view of that sentiment, it's true. Completely true.
In the least favorable light, this post is trying to play down something else without evidence. Thus it's some trolling lie.
- _9xrb 4y agoDownplaying the conflict's moral depth without evidence is what you did, and why I posted my comment. I happen to know Vietnamese who fled to America as refugees after the war. They don't feel that Americans and South Vietnam were "the baddies", or that communists who invaded the South in the first place and violently suppress(ed) knowledge of things like the Hue Massacre are "the good guys." Many Vietnamese remain divided on these issues. It's complicated. That's the point. If you view attempts at nuance as "trolling lies," you might be a great fit for one-party government.
