"My father was a former member of the Khmer Rouge"

[RickyBobby]

Minute 45:50.

Dr Peterson, I recently discovered my father was a former member of the Khmer Rouge. I feel hurt that he was part of the horrors of Cambodia. How do I deal with this?

While we are all on a guilt mission trip I would like to tell everyone about my ancestors that fought for and sometimes against the Kings of England. They probably beheaded hundreds of innocent people.

Does anyone know where to DL a copy of the book referenced by Dr. Peterson.

Lots of Khmer were caught up in the civil war. On both sides. Many even switched sides depending on where the wind was blowing. Countryside is full of former Khmer Rouge and their families. One Khmer Rouge even defected to the Vietnamese side and then become Prime Minister.

And so?

There’s a reason why the EEOC looking for war crimes has found so few to charge and even fewer to punish.

Snowflake driven Western guilt.

You've missed the entire point of the post. The point is the advice that Dr. Peterson gives to a young man to help him process how his father, whom he loved and respected, could have been part of all of that. Likely, this young man doesn't have the same frame of context we do. The point is what JP says to him and that is what would be worthy to discuss.

What you've said is obvious.

Nothing personal NKB,
Horse shit! You obviously know zip zero about this.
It starts with your spelling of ECCC as EEOC and the accuracy just goes downhill from there.

I guess no one watched the vid?

The point is no one really knows, or wants to know due to the fact they probably won't talk about it. Because why?

During the war they told people on the other side, if they come to this side they will never be prosecuted, and will be given money to go back to their home.

They gained territory by people defecting to this side.

They dont want to prosecute them because they promised them they would never be prosecuted.

Keep in mind, it is a war that most Cambodians didnt want, they were just caught up in it.
