Its more like going to the rapist who took the rape baby after the rape and saying that they really shouldn’t have raped that person and though the issue with stealing the rape baby is bad a good solution would have been to not rape.
If America didn’t invade, no orphans. Really weird you’de equate not invading Vietnam with raping a person
Edit: to clarify, no, the other person didn’t say “just don’t get raped” or the equivalent. The analogy was wrong. This is my point
A solution to a problem can’t be “travel back in time and prevent yourself from being in this situation” that’s not a solution, it’s pointing out the obvious source of the problem.
I agree, but that person did not say “just don’t get raped.” The analogy doesn’t work, and is weird to say while being destructive to the conversation.
That comment I replied to made this equivalancy which is table flipping, fuck you I’m going to paint you in the worst light, type behavior.
No, the guy didn’t say “just don’t get raped” he said “we shouldn’t have been raping”
Ok, solution wasn’t the proper word, the commenter was talking morality. Taking the babies was wrong and America shouldn’t have done it, nor should they have gotten involved afterwards.
this take was badly expressed. i woke up in the middle of the night to piss and wrote it between walking from the bathroom to the bed. Point I was trying to make was it is a clumsy metaphor that directly casts america as the victim.
“What do you do with an unwanted pregnancy that’s the result of a rape?”
“Don’t get raped in the first place.”
Unfolding the anology would mean "US is the victim here. "
this was the first thing i noticed, too

Vietnam was at war before the USA got involved, it would have just been a one sided slaughter by the North.
