I'm not really any manner of orator, and I average out at the amount of knowledge that passes my feed. I just... you know, recognize that. the US authorities and the bulk of celebrities who played into it to keep their job did those same things to us in the 60s and 70s. it's the same playbook, it's the same colonialism, it's the same human toll.

#idk. the news is fucking horrific. and then you go online and see the perpetrators act all uwu and lie to your face #it is. idk vietnam managed to exist as a country after 75. and I grew up thinking such level of cruelty is something of the past #if not because the forces behind it have grown kinder then because they've learned their lesson #they have. they've improved on their PR for a while. we just managed to outpace that machine for a moment #with handheld recording devices and the internet.#you know now where I stand if there were any chance it wasn't clear before. what the israeli defense force is doing is genocide.#given - once again - that I'm not any kind of speaker I have mostly just been moving resources around on here #but I still felt like I should at the very least make it very clear that no matter what we do live in that same world #and we should not fucking forget. because the ones who benefit from these conflicts would like for us to #they wanted badly for people in the US to forget vietnam. us living here fucking remember.
