On Thursday I was looking at the Gulf of Tonkin incident article, which if you don’t know went like this:

August 2: US ships open fire on Vietnamese ships, US reports the US ships were attacked

August 4: Nothing happens, US reports that US ships were attacked, the US goes to war with Vietnam.

This was leaked by a former NSA staffer in the early 2000s. In response the NSA eventually released a heavily redacted and manipulated report a few years later (the US ships really were attacked on August 2, but after the US fired ‘warning shots’). After an apparently long wikipedia edit war, the government propaganda can be cited, hurray, but not the original report, of course. Reading through the talk page was full of ‘war history experts’ (cough nazis cough cough) calling people conspiracy theorists and saying “the men who served on the Maddox knew they were attacked”.

Be a fun place to post and people will post here. Be a struggle forum with people calling eachother RED FASH and DUMB UTOPIANS and it’ll go down to 3 people with a bunch of alts.

I think it’s important to note that leftist spaces online fucking suck, and the majority of leftists don’t like that they have to talk about stuff on shitholes like Twitter, Facebook, or Insta. There is a demand for this kind of platform and I do believe there is a lot of room for growth.
