Korean War just seems so…unmythologizable? like obviously people do. Pro-American liberals and capitalists see it as the defense of an anticommunist free republic, mls see it as the defence of a proletariat state against the encroachment of empire. but really it was just senseless bloodshed. sad, broken hopes of democracy; soldiers fed on the dream of unbridled freedom after a horrendous occupation used as nothing more than cannon fodder by heroes turned rivalling petty despots. i dunno, i’m sorry for drunk ask-ing in ur in box. but like. history sucks. not the academic study. just the knowledge that all these people just like me. and i think my life so big so beautiful. but their lives were too. and they ended, unimportant, unmythologizable. in the cold uncaring mud. and for what? for dfucking what???

Yeah, I think the mythologizing on both sides hits a wall when you dig deeper into the historical realities of the time, which has left me in the somewhat unenviable position of disagreeing with what feels like basically everyone on this

The pro-American liberal idea of the Korean War as a just war in defense of a sovereign nation falls apart pretty easily - the split between North and South Korea was recent and done by imperial powers (the US and USSR) as a means of demarcating their respective zones of control, not a true split in any sense. The US went out of its way to sabotage any attempt at reconciliation in the years following the split, and the guy they put in charge arguably had a lot less popular legitimacy than his communist counterpart (and embarked on a campaign of right wing political violence to shore up his incredibly weak position)

So if you squint and ignore the context, you can say that the US was defending a sovereign nation, but it's one they created with no popular legitimacy at all, with a leader that brutalized his people. And none of it was necessary! The thing about the overwhelming power of the United States and its massive fucking military is that the whole "we need a right wing dictator to shore up this country against communism" routine is so transparently because the US wanted to support right wing dictators, not because it was in any sense necessary to ensure that the country wasn't communist. If anything, doing the whole sham democracy thing where you force everyone to vote for the asshole you put in charge massively benefits the communists! No wonder there was a massive insurgency going on

This is without even getting into the horrifying details of how exactly the war was prosecuted

And then there's the ML narrative, which correctly identifies the mass of popular support behind Kim Il-sung due to his time fighting against the Japanese occupation and conveniently elides historical details like "which side actually invaded the other, starting the full blown war" and other such unimportant details, like the subsequent structure of the North Korean government making it virtually impossible for anything resembling democratic influence on the political process to occur

If there's something to be said for Syngman Rhee, it's that his grandson is not currently ruling SK. He was deposed in 1960, and then after decades of political turmoil and various deeply shitty leaders (again, much of which probably could've been avoided if the US hadn't insisted on Rhee as their man in the 1940s) SK eventually became a place where you could vote and were a lot less likely to be the victim of political violence.

As for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, well. If your take on the Korean War is "I wish that instead of just the people of North Korea, everyone in Korea would have to live under the current North Korean government" I don't really know what to say about that. North Korea is repressive and isolated in the extreme - if you think that is the result of "people's committees" and the North Korean population's natural devotion to the Kim family spanning three generations now, you are at best a mark.

So yeah, it's a tragedy - the Japanese occupation of Korea was fucking horrifying, then the US and USSR arrived to artificially split the country with no serious attempt at reunification while putting two real bastards in charge, and then it escalated into a shooting war where millions of people died just for the 38th parallel to still be the dividing line.

So who benefited? Everyone but the Koreans, I suppose. The US gained a client state, managed to use the UN to do whatever it wanted, and demonstrated its commitment to suppressing communism via military force. The USSR gained a client state and saw the US spend a bunch of its military capacity on a war that cost the USSR very little and wasn't even won by the US. China got a buffer zone between it and the US empire and solidified their victory over the KMT, albeit at tremendous cost.

Hopefully someday the Korean War will end.

if you have to ask the question "who the fuck is yuusaku" then spoilers etc etc

im a dfucking youtuber essay analyst look at me gooooo

also also alo holy shit when …… when ogata is totally alone in the trenches aiming his gun off somewhere and tsurumi comes over and says "yuusaku is rallying the troops real well" or some shit and there's a pause and ogata replies "so we're not killing him?" that ……..that scene, like, that's the trenches, that's the war, why is NOBODY ELSE AROUND, i assume everyone ran off in the charge because that's what you do, but EVEN THEN ogata sttayed behind to be a sniper, and later on even said that there needed to be a sniper division, because i guess he was by himself trying to take on the complete other side. and it's not that he couldn't keep up, i'm absolutely sure he was mowing down enemy soldiers left and right, but he probably sees it as completely inefficient to send a bunch of dudes running across no mans land and there needs to be a sniper division for the purpose of achieving the goal of shooting down enemies.

and also anyone in the charge who NEEDED rallying or hyping up, everyone else is already charging, or everyone WILL charge, and you wouldn't want to be the only guy who stays behind so of course you charge alongside them even if you're afraid of getting killed. everyone else could be afraid but we're all running and we're all together.

except for ogata. these thoughts don't happen inside him and so he has no hesitation staying behind while everyone else runs off until it's quiet enough that tsurumi can just casually saunter up to him and make an offhand comment about yuusaku that is at a normal conversational volume that everyone can hear because everyone else already fucked off

Simon meeting Ice King in another dimension. At some point, Simon lashes out at him screaming and yelling, and what he says is clearly directed at himself. Ice King start to cry. Simon realizes what he says, and as someone with the tendency to comfort people, does just that to Ice King. He realizes he’s been too harsh on himself in more ways than one

He sees candy queen and has sommuch sympathy for her and just wants to help her. and he would not feel the same about ice king because he does not likeice king for many reasons but most relevantly the fact that he does not like himself and he will not give himself the same compassion.
