#About the Vietnam Country

[yonemurishiroku]

I wonder what the Israeli children and youngsters think about the literal genocide their government is pushing.

#are they even aware that their country is just wrong? #like how the Germans feel about Hitler and the concentration camps? #are the even aware that Palestinians and/or Arabs are humans too? #bc I’m Vietnamese and if Vietnam decides to invade like Laos or st I’d be absolutely disgusted #israel #israel is a terrorist state #palestine #free palestine

my fav beatles fun fact gotta be that Lady Madonna was based on this image of a Vietnamese woman back in the late 60s. i like to see this song as a counterpart of Blackbird (although Your Mother should know is also relevant). grew up learning about my culture and history, literature about women's sacrificing and devoting life for their husbands, their children, their mothers, their fathers, even their later grandchildren, i appreciate that Paul wrote the song for every Mothers in the world, especially the Western Highlands' Ê-đê Mother (an ethnic minority group in Vietnam) during the Vietnam-against-the-US-war, who was the direct inspiration behind the song.

there is a Vietnamese poem that has similar meaning to the song: "Khúc hát ru những em bé lớn trên lưng mẹ" (roughly translated as Lullaby for the babies on Mother's back) by poet Nguyễn Khoa Điềm (written in 1971), which is also about the beloved Mountain Madonna, the Vietnamese Heroic Mothers - Bà Mẹ Việt Nam Anh Hùng. the Mother couldnt live the baby alone in the house, so she wrapped her child in a cloth on her back, and then she went to harvest the corns while her baby slept on her back. i remember learning this poem in school, of how Mother brings her child to everywhere, from the slightest work to drudgery. Nguyễn Khoa Điềm wrote this poem in a form of a lullaby from the Mother to her baby. (remind me of golden slumber and goodnight)

its kinda sad to learn that Epstein was too frustrated about their public appearance (i mean i would be too those bitches didnt just tell the American they were bigger than Jesus) that he didnt let them write much song related to my country's occurring war, but Johnny and Yoko still stood up and let we hear their voice about this terrible crime. i love to know that my country's revolution is heard, is relevant even til now, still remain a valuable lesson and a demand for peace of every proletariats all over the world.

"It’s another piece of insanity. It’s all part of the same insane scene that’s going on. There’s nothing else for it… no reason, just insanity"

"You can’t keep quiet about anything that’s going on in the world"

#im being emotional again #i havent got time to dig in much about the history due to uni exams #but i will after june when im done with it #the beatles #the beatles and vietnam #lady madonna #paul mccartney #free palestine #and every suffering countries all over the world

Extraordinary luck :O

#my Flapjack plush will get to visit 6 countries this year #my Hunter with his cute lil' apron would've visited 4 by end of the year (counting the local sightseeing here where we live) #we're visiting Vietnam after Christmas since my brother's decided he's never moving back here #after the heap of traumatic stuff from this year? extraordinary luck #the only good thing about contracting a life-threatening physical illness (C word) is ironically it's opened more doors in this way #as long as that fucker doesn't metastasize in my body again lol #and the dual citizenship hiccup means I gotta pass through Thailand to get to my aunt's for Halloween. can't fly directly #which means! more fun sightseeing with my plushies #(I am definitely n-o-t a person who can just hop on a plane regularly so..) #loz says stuff

i just need you guys to know that american schools often don't teach about like. any of the USA's wars past wwii. almost all of the history classes i took centered on american history nearly exclusively and it always trailed off around mccarthyism. i need us to talk about that and never stop because every time i remember it i feel like im losing my mind

#im not kidding. I can't speak for every school in the country obviously but we literally never discussed vietnam or korea or the gulf war #and i took ap us history. like. they don't fucking talk about it #some caveats on my personal experience: 1) i moved around a lot so theres a chance i missed something by jumping around curriculums #but i was in the same system for the last 5 years of my schooling so that mostly applies to my elementary and middle school experience #2) my ap us history class was always running behind so it may be that we just never got to those wars #since we went through it chronologically

love that big boss had a hard on for che guevara

his ass does not understand his politics outside of guerrilla warfare

#kaz is like did you read that book by him I lent you and bb is like No #I find what kaz says in the tape on hiroshima to be interesting #america bombed the country twice then turned around to 'aid' them in order to prevent the spread of communism #and he says that che's visit to the hospitals reminds him of his mom and goddd #using the country you bombed to further political reasons #of course imperialist japan was a Bad thing that needed to be stopped but of course that wasn't the US' intentions in bombing them #he says this and witnessed anti-vietnam protests during his college years #but still went onto join the JSDF and later became a drill sergeant for the US #in the tape where he talks about leaving the JSDF he says it's because he never felt like he could rub shoulders with his father in it #his politics are so interesting to me they are almost centralized to how much he loves war despite him hating the effects to it #he's this nationalist without a nation because he doesn't see himself as belonging to anything #oh damn I have been talkin in these tags lmao #I just love kaz he's fucking interesting love that dude the most round character in mgs

Americans will look you in the eye & literally be like “yes im aware that the US government has lied about pretty much every single international affair over the past century, which has resulted, and continues to result, in the slaughter of literal dozens of millions of civilians across the world along with the catastrophic destabilization of entire regions that still live on to this very day, but the news told me that this one place is a crazy dystopian dictatorship so actually they’re right this time & if you try to even hint at anything otherwise you’re a brainwashed insane piece of shit” without ever using a single brain cell lol

#maybe believing anything the US tells you #knowing how many people this country slaughtered in the past century of unjustified abominable war and terror #should make u a little skeptical LMAOOO #they lied about Korea they lied about Vietnam they lied about Iraq & Iran they lied about Cambodia they lied about Venezuela #why would the tell the truth about your new boogeyman lmao #like im uninformed i will say but you’re stupider than tr*mp if you believe a single word this government says about any international power

What kind of irked me about true crime podcasts that talked about Richard Ramirez and the wikipedia page is how they all just gloss over the fact that his cousin Miguel took part in WAR CRIMES by killing and raping Vietnamese women while in Vietnam as a soldier in the us army, and how that was a huge factor in shaping Richard Ramirez to be the inhuman scumbag that he was. Instead they all just pretend that Richard Ramirez became a piece of inhuman shit out of nowhere. Guys. There is a fucking elephant in the room. Guys.

#also funny how even the podcasts that do mention this avoid the words 'war crime' #:) #tw violence #tw violent death #tw r*pe #I'm getting more and more annoyed just listening to these people absolutely gloss over the war crimes these inhuman pieces of shit #were committing in other countries #if this is what Richard Ramirez became #can you fucking imagine what happened in Vietnam to Vietnamese people #here the law can bring justice to richard #over there you guys were DESTROYING THE LAWS SO YOUR PEOPLE WOULD NEVER BE CONVICTED OR PUNISHED #think about that #and these people are all about 'peace and love' #disgusting #absolutely fucking disgusting #hypocrites should go to hell

trying to research historical vietnamese clothing lead me down a rabbit hole i wasn't prepared for

#by which i mean i see a lot of people claiming that the vietnamese and the koreans 'stole' chinese hanfu #a few of those people had chinese flags in their usernames or bios but all the comments im talking about are in english #for clarity's sake #they're like posting pictures of old vietnamese and korean art along with chinese art and pointing out the similarities in the clothes #while saying shit like 'the thieving viets stole chinese culture!!' #admittedly im not an expert on east and south east asian history #and i know there's bad blood between them #but i *do* know that china occupied vietnam and korea at different points in their histories #and in vietnam's case it happened in the han dynasty which was like 200 BC to 250 CE #(but not throughout that entire era) #and in both countries china had such a strong influence in the politics and culture #like vietnam used chinese hanzi for writing since the han dynasty and in korea #the chinese language has influenced the korean language since like 100 bce #i mean most korean surnames are classified as sino-korean in origin #i just don't think you can accuse nations of stealing a culture that's been a huge influence on theirs for thousands of years #mickey.txt

it's so sweet how Sierra asks to be part of the Whittaker family. She's tentative about it, which shows how much it means to her. Which is why she asks it. Something she normally wouldn't do, ever. How starved she is for family. And how close she feels to the Whittakers, to even think like this, because she doesn't get close to anyone. But she formed a bond with Jason during their 1st mission together, and a bond with Whit looking for his grandson. Shows how welcoming they are, to make a girl who didn't have ties with anyone, didn't feel the need, wanted independence after her 1st adoptive family, and her unthinkably traumatic childhood, trust enough to want close ties.

I’m going back to Vietnam this summer!

I’ve missed it so much. It feels like I’m going home, even if it’s just for three weeks. I wasn’t going to spend the money, but I got a bonus and thought... you only live once. My sister’s recent MS diagnosis, a friend’s suicide, and knowing that a friend of my mom’s - only 30 years old - just got a terminal cancer diagnosis made me reconsider waiting; I’d decided to hold off and be responsible. But I don’t want to live with regrets. Hanoi, here I come! ❤️💛

#i've lived in a few foreign countries #but for some reason vietnam is closest to my heart #it's just... special #i've been dreaming about it and dying to go back #to see my friends #my apartment and home for two years #and rent a motorbike to ride down familiar streets #i am so pumped

[euyrdice]

my low patience with people today… not sure of its bc i havent eaten and thus feeling mean or being american and wanting everything to speed up

#why r u asking personal questions during class #i always think about that post… im unfortunately one of those ppl who r like can we speed this up 😫 #mayhaps im matching the nyc speed since i want to live there long term one day…. #i want to get my masters in europe and then live in austrialia vietnam and the phillipines for 4-6 months #i want to travel but if i can want to live there for a few months not just be a visiting tourist for a few weeks #i think id fit australia a lot…. i love a loud country #one thing i know ill have to keep in mind in other countries is not to be so fricking loud in public #🍓.txt

ok *falls for my friend who i had a crush on two years ago that said “im more than certain anyone would love you when they get to know you” to cheer me up about my most recent nonsense*

#i mean on the one hand i’m really being that guy you hang out with who then says ‘i have to tell you something’ and confesses #but on the other hand is it my fault?? you can’t say shit like that to people bro #tirah talks #actually we had that convo and talked about how he’s single too and feels like he isn’t gonna find anyone and i said something similar back #to him #and then was like ‘well it’s not realistic to try to date him bc he lives in scotland and is from vietnam and i have no intention of going #to either country’ #but then today my other friend was like ‘y not date him’ and now im like hmmm they were making points 🤔

i’m so annoyed i’m bitching on two different platforms but i always have an ASS of a time trying to find readalikes for war novels that get popular bc trying to find something that isn’t just “there were a few bad guys but on the whole america was the heroes 🫡” in a fiction novel is impossible. this is my boulder actually, finding war fiction for my insane patrons that isn’t straight propaganda aksjjd

#currently doing vietnam and everything is like ‘and then the evil commies chased us from our home’ #can i pls get a single book about a war that involves a communist country that’s from a communist’s pov #atp i’ll even settle for a defecter 💀💀 #work tag #i messaged my coworker like ‘you guessed it it’s another war book’ and she’s like why are our patrons so boring ajsjsjd

It's so funny to see journalists speaking out on mining supply chains now - particularly being considered experts - on stuff the mining industry has been screaming about for years.

Yeah man, we've been trying to get the USGS and EPA and DoE and DoD to do something about Chinese smelters and supply chain shortages for years. Have fun with that.

#They'll only do something when China starts shutting down its rare earth element REE smelters. And I guaranfuckingtee the #US government will tell the CIA to put a foot on Vietnam's neck or some other SE Asian country and tell them to build smelters. #The government shat a brick two years ago when China floated the idea of not selling REEs to the rest of the world. And now #they're desperately pumping money into resources but not where it actually matters: Processing. #ptxt #mining #If there's one way to get me riled up it's mineral processing and geopolitics and public education. #There's actually a hated mining company that just bought a iron ore mine in the middle of the jungle and it's AWFUL. But if they #didn't buy it the government straight up said they were going to sell it to China and they kind of looked at each other and said #Well if it's going to get mined anyway... I guess we can at least be environmentally friendly about it? Do it right? #But the public doesn't fucking see that. It' SO difficult to understand that this is not a 'don't touch it at all situation' most of the #time. Like we just don't have that option because you don't run the government that's being funded by three nasty people. #So the best you can do is the least worst option. It's Something man. It's Something.
