yeah we have an entire special word that sounds like holocaust to describe soviet era famines and you get called a genocide denier when you point out the main people pushing that angle are literal nazis and have been for several decades to the point most people have at least heard the term holomodor even if theyre not sure exactly what it was by contrast i hadnt even heard about imperial britains planned famines until that victorian genocides book came out a few years ago and i doubt anyone else had either

its very brief but at one point beevor gets into how this policy was sold domestically and profranco american business interests leaned hard on the catholic angle to convince politicians it was a bad idea to weigh in on the issue because franco loved catholicism and was basically jumpstarting a new catholic cultural era in spain and that catholic voters which were still a distinct bloc in america at this point would punish anyone who sided against franco whats interesting is that in terms of polling data there was little to no evidence the spanish civil war was at all an important issue to catholics but on the rare occasion anyone did ask about it they supported the republicans by a two to one margin which might have been lower than the overall franco approval rating but was still so decidedly antifranco the entire talking point was basically just completely made up its hard to appreciate today where the two are basically the same thing but the cultural industry and the regular industry of the thirties were often at odds with each other and the spanish civil war was one big example beevor goes into this on the spanish end a lot showing how the republicans were prioritizing propaganda victories to the point it was actively detrimental to their material interests they couldnt inspire people to not die of starvation they were super successful at branding themselves as the good guys and international cultural thought leaders did all they could to boost this impression but it just didnt matter in the reality of an extended campaign which is why you get stuff like rick fighting for the republicans in casablanca being used as a shorthand for how he was a good guy this flew completely over my head when i watched the movie ages ago but your typical filmgoer at the time would have easily gotten the reference

its interesting that the blob would jump to this conclusion since a couple of decades earlier rhee in south korea had enacted land reform and this was used to argue that he was responsive to the needs of the korean people when in reality this was just a response to the north korean land reform and still done in a half assed enough manner domestic and foreign analysts alike massively overestimated local support for rhees government although i might be misplacing the temporal timing of these narratives it tends to drift a lot still caught a little off guard that the main damning thing pachinko could think of to say about north korea was that they were too mean to the landlords

my biggest pet peeve with modern stuff setting during the forties is that people just take it for granted that everyone knew about the holocaust and that americans down to the lowliest foot soldiers saw it as their moral imperative to put a stop to it in actuality the holocaust wasnt that well known outside of jewish communities and not that many people wanted to make a public relations thing out of it because of the very real chance that americans would unironically respond to the news by wondering if maybe hitler had some good ideas

his calling attention to that discrepancy is now making me seriously wonder why our official figures for napalm use are so comparatively low because no one disputes that the united states destroyed literally every multistory building in korea and its hard to imagine that twenty times as much napalm with an extra ten years of research and development could somehow do less damage to vietnam
