You are not describing history.

You are describing the American bedtime story about history.

Let me remind you what actually happened on our soil, not in your textbooks.

North Vietnam did not "invade" South Vietnam.

Vietnam was one nation that foreign powers divided on paper and expected us to accept the way a prisoner accepts the shape of his cell.

There is no "North Vietnamese people" and "South Vietnamese people."

There is only one Vietnamese people separated by a imaginary line drawn by outsiders.

You talk about 1954 as if the partition was destiny.

It was not.

The Geneva Accords mandated free and fair elections in 1956, so the Vietnamese could reunify peacefully.

Eisenhower’s own intelligence admitted Hồ Chí Minh would win by 80 percent.

That is why the United States blocked the elections.

That is why your puppet regime was installed.

That is why the country was carved in two to prevent democracy, not defend it.

You call our president Hồ Chí Minh a "brutal scourge."

Your CIA called him "the George Washington of Vietnam."

The only thing dangerous about him was that he wanted a Vietnam not ruled by France, Japan, or America.

But let us talk about the Gulf of Tonkin, since you think "the rest is history."

There was no second attack.

There was no assault on the Turner Joy.

There was only American radar chasing ghosts in a storm, and a White House searching for the excuse it needed to unleash a war it had already decided to fight.

McNamara admitted it.

The NSA declassified the evidence.

Your own navy officers testified the incident never happened.

Yet from that lie came three million Vietnamese dead, eight million tons of bombs, Agent Orange burned into our soil and our DNA, entire provinces turned into moonscapes.

And you still recite this story as if the United States came to rescue us from ourselves.

Let me be very clear:

America did not enter Vietnam to "help" South Vietnam.

America entered Vietnam to prevent the independence of a country that refused to kneel to Western power.

The people who fought the United States were not foreign invaders.

They were farmers defending the same land their ancestors defended for over 2,000 years against the Han, the Tang, the Song, the Mongols, the Ming, the Qing, the French, and the Japanese.

We were not fighting for communism.

We were fighting for Vietnam.

And we won.

That is the part your version always forgets.

You lost a war you cannot psychologically accept losing, so you rewrite it as a morality play where America tried to save a "good" Vietnam from a "bad" one.

There was no good Vietnam and bad Vietnam.

There was only Vietnam

And the empire that tried to break it.

The rest is not history.

The rest is denial.

People don’t know this but there’s a little pouch in Starmer’s lower back where the American security state can put their hands in and make his mouth move. China builds an entire high-speed rail network in the time it takes Britain to approve a consultation report. China lifted 800m from poverty; Britain pushes millions to food banks. A single Chinese province rolls out more solar capacity in a year than the entire UK manages in a decade. Beijing is planning moon bases; Britain is arguing about whether teachers should have pens.

China does not care about Britain.

The hasbara gish gallopers are in full flow today. Every lie and attempt at obfuscation and abuse I’ll hide/block and post 10 re the ongoing genocide. Keep ’em coming boys and girls. Gotta keep those numbers up!

Remember when we were telling you not to play that Harry Potter game and everyone told us we were being overly dramatic. Supporting this IP in any way is actively helping push transphobic agendas

No one "fumbled" it. Remote work was murdered by middle managers and corporate executives who genuinely hate and mistrust the employees who do all of the actual work.

You are going to be financially and socially incentivized to betray your morals in ways you are unprepared for.

Fascism is capitalism in decay btw, it’s the extreme response to the economic turmoil that capitalism creates. So whenever it rears its ugly head and we fight it off, it’s just going to keep popping up again and again. Like fighting the symptoms and not the disease.

@eggsnamedhannah Literally did this, went okay

@deepfriedmilton Oh no I got that shit on lock, I got a mini one on my key ring. A cheese grater was my best man

[Terminally French @QuickLouis]

@deepfriedmilton I grated my knuckle once whilst furiously preparing cheese, I assume this is what you mean?

[Terminally French @QuickLouis]

@isaac_kh Yeah it's not that romantic when you keep taking breaks to rail a line and a waitress

@deepfriedmilton Who is they, just everyone? The spectators too? Just the commentators? Any of these work I'm only curious
