A bit too biased

“Season 1 was absolutely brilliant, but during Season 2, I found myself questioning the very one-sided nature. While the US narrative of Cuba is cartoonishly evil, Blowback goes too far in the opposite direction. You'd think based on the season that Fidel Castro was the greatest humanitarian in history and Cuba is a socialist utopia. The real truth is somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. Now I'm listening to Season 3 and it seems like they're going to go down a similar route with North Korea. Yes, the US did heinous things against North Korea and yes, the US uncritically and unironically backed brutal military dictatorships in South Korea and other parts of the world. But that doesn't excuse North Korea's extreme human rights abuses.
Going to the opposite extremes and whitewashing or glossing over the crimes of US enemies doesn't help the cause of decolonization or anti-imperialism, it makes you just as cartoonish as your opponents. Tankies are every bit as ridiculous as fascists.”Read full review »
