Killing Fields and the genocide within Cambodia is a hollywood myth. She spreads lies and falsehoods because of her own faulty personal experience from childhood, which is not objective but subjective, devising justifications for the world around them, which is what Loung Ung did in "First, they killed my father". The very title presupposes innocence but consider that her father was a high ranking official, lived a very comfortable life while the people he was supposed to serve lived in squalor, and if you were a revolutionary regime, of course he would be persecuted for crimes commuted against the people.

She further perpetuates lies to about the Pol Pot regime.
Pol Pot wasn't out there just pointlessly slaughtering his own people. That doesn't even make sense. Also is the myth that people with glasses were killed, for fucks sake, Pol Pot himself wore glasses. Sure there might have been some low level thugs who did some bad things but to act like it was an orchestrated effort by Pol Pot, is lunacy.

Pol Pot was unironically not evil. Watch this video for yourself. Tell me if this is a bad person.

I work with a guy from a cambodian refugee camp. It's not a myth.

Of course there were refugee camps considering it was caught up in the Vietnam quagmire. That does not make the narratives around them true.
