This the was instigating event behind the civil war

No it wasn't, and it wasn't even one event.

There were literal years of border skirmishes before the North invaded on the 25th of June, 1950. The Bodo League Massacre is the name for a series of purges of suspected communists that began with an order from the SK President on June 27th, 1950. Two days after the North Invaded.

Try again tankie.

If hating tankies means you have to support fascist dictatorships, then I guess I'll never hate tankies.

Luckily it doesn't.

It is very possible to dislike more than one thing.

Why do you have to defend the fascists in this specific case, then?

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You know how it goes, "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds".

[-] TheChurn@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

I did not defend any fascists. I pointed out innacuracies in the prior posts.

Ask the other poster why they felt the need to lie to make their points.

it wasn’t even one event.

Well, that’s a refreshing take to see. But that doesn’t make the event mentioned here not problematic or not a further motivator of the war

Did you miss the part where the first such event didn't take place until after the invasion by the North?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Nope. That’s like saying the Emancipation Proclamation couldn’t have motivated any sides in the Civil War because it happened halfway through.

The comment I replied to said this:

This was the instigating event behind the civil war.

Dictionary.com says this for the word "instigating"

Causing, initiating, responsible for

Please explain how an event that occured after the invasion was the cause or initiator of the war.

If you cannot, then admit you didn't read the thread and just came in here to muddy the waters.

If you are too proud to admit that, just ghost.

I didn’t claim they were correct. If you look above, I made a weaker claim than they did.

that doesn’t make the event mentioned here not problematic or not a further motivator of the war
