Presenting Pearlescentmoon in Crimean Tatar national costume and with their flag!

Crimea is a peninsula in Eastern Europe, on the northern coast of the Black Sea, almost entirely surrounded by the Black Sea and the smaller Sea of Azov.

After Ukrainian independence in 1991, the central government and the Republic of Crimea clashed, with the region being granted more autonomy. In 2014, the peninsula was occupied by Russian forces and annexed by Russia, but most countries recognise Crimea as Ukrainian territory.

Throughout history, Crimean Tatars suffered from Russia, one of the largest tragedies being Deportation of Crimean Tatars 1944, when the majority of Crimean population were forecully deported from their homeland to the Uzbek SSR.

Crimean Tatar singer Jamala told the world about it in Eurovision 2016, two years after Russia occupied Crimea once again, with the song named "1944". (watch her performance here)

Crimean Tatar language is on the verge of being forgotten, and less people know about Crimean Tatars even existing, so please, educate yourself, tell others about it, share, talk, don't let all the people who fought agains their opressors die for nothing.

I've been considering making this post for a while but hesitated since I don't wanna beat a dead horse.

I'd like you to look at this post looking back at the Andijan massacre. What started as people protesting issues like distribution of gas, electricity, and other human needs and rights ended in a bloodbath. A cousin of mine told me schools taught it as "the national guard protecting civilians from Islamist terrorists."

I'd also like you to look at this paper by the Human Rights Watch on the torture and persecution of Uzbek Muslims like me during Islam Karimov's 20 years of dictatorial rule. Even Uzbek Muslims outside of Uzbekistan weren't safe. Multiple family friends of mine were randomly tackled to the ground and arrested by Korean Police on accounts of "domestic terrorism" in Uzbekistan, and some were only released about 5 years ago.

You weren't allowed to wear hijabs(even in Islamic universities), openly pray, read the Quran, or do anything religious. Someone would always be there watching to report you.

I wasn't allowed to go outside by myself around my neighborhood due to Uzbek government agents kidnapping the children of Uzbek diaspora abroad. I wasn't allowed to wear a hijab until after we went to Uzbekistan 2 years after Karimov's regime ended, and we made sure it was safe there and back. I wasn't even allowed to visit the country to see my relatives for almost a decade because of the crackdown on Uzbek Muslims.

When Uzbekistan was colonized by Russia as the Uzbek SSR and even before then as Turkestan, Russia made sure to stamp out religion entirely. They killed off scholars and poets like Cholpon, who wrote about Uzbek self-determination and praised religious texts. Uzbekistan's first leadership since its independence carried on with this policy, with Russian colonial values ingrained into them.

As for Korea, our partition was opposed by the whole peninsula. When Jejuans protested the US-UN backed elections, it ended in 10% of Jeju's population being killed by joint US-Korean forces. Though the South Korean Government apologized for the first time recently, the US stays silent. What a surprise. The bodies of these Jejuans were buried in mass pits and had the Jeju Airport built on top of it.

The US still fails to apologize for the No Gun Ri Massacre, in which the US Army murdered about 300 Korean villagers despite knowing they were civilians and therefore not targets. The US also indiscriminately bombed North Korea with more bombs than they had in the Pacific Theater in World War 2, martyring almost 2 million Koreans.

After the Korean War followed almost 30 years of dictatorship by Syngman Rhee, then a military junta, then Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan. During this time, university students protesting the dictatorial rule established by the US were arrested as "anti communists," and be tortured repeatedly, sometimes even until death.

Though the Seodaemun Prison is known for being Japan's colonial prison where they arrested independence activists, the Korean dictatorships used it to arrest people in favor of democracy.

The Namyeong-Dong Anti-Communist Investigation Office was a similar prison, in which one of the floors had extremely thin, narrow windows to avoid prisoners from escaping. Park Jong Cheol, a Seoul National University student who was protesting against Korea's military dictatorship at the time, was incarcerated here and routinely tortured. He eventually died due to water torture.

The Gwangju Massacre was a protest held by many activists against Chun Doo Hwan's dictatorial rule, which came about as he staged a coup and successfully overthrew the previous government. As they called for democracy, Chun Doo Hwan brought the national army, who fired upon, killed, and raped the protesters. Chun Doo Hwan was never held responsible for his crimes before he died, and his grandson recently apologized to the victims and their loved ones. It was found that the US approved Chun Doo Hwan's plans to use armed forces on the protesters in Gwangju.

Though the Gwangju Massacre is taught about in Korea, much of the US involvement and responsibility of the horrors of the dictatorship is left out.

The US does not allow Korea to produce its own nuclear arsenal, allowing Korea to rely entirely on the US for nuclear support. Additionally, the existing presence of the USFK in Korea and their joint training sessions with the ROK army further provokes North Korea and therefore gives the US a "justification" to maintain its military presence in Korea.

Growing up I was taught where to look for nearby nuclear shelters. We visited the War Memorial of Korea multiple times, and air raid sirens are rare but are happening more often recently.

This, along with the added danger of living as Uzbek diaspora outside of Uzbekistan as Muslims.

So when I say "please respectfully depict Russia and the US when it comes to the Cold War in a way that does not center them entirely" and "please keep the gravity of their actions in mind as you write them; Hetalia does not exist in an apolitical vacuum,"

and I am met with "mature adults" telling me that "they're just characters," or

"i'm the one ruining the fandom," or

"block and move on," or

"i love russia and america cold war!!!" or

"you're crazy" or

"moralf*g" or

"someone's sensitive"

and especially from russian artists who call me an "American SJW." russians calling me an uzbek overly sensitive for asking that they portray their country a little more respectfully to the victims of their colonialism. yeah that's completely normal

you are normalizing centering discussions about the Cold War to the imperial core, and then having nothing of substance to say about and being absolutely insensitive towards someone who's life has been and still are dictated by these imperial forces, and even harrassing them.

where's the "block and move on" mentality you prided yourselves for?

this fandom hasn't changed since the 2010s. it's just more quiet in the way it marginalizes victims of colonialism.

oh, and that person who told me to "block and move on, sister!!!" when it comes to me explaining myself as an uzbek-korean muslim?

you're not one to talk. 네가 뭘아는데 ㅅㅂ새끼야

Soviet propaganda photograph of deported Koreans in 1937.

Nearly 172 000 ethnic Koreans were forcibly deported under Stalin's and Molotov's orders, for "frontier cleansing" and "russification", and were sent to the Kazakh SSR and the Uzbek SSR.

The mortality estimate of the Korean population from the deportations is anywhere from 10-25%.

Wikipedia

Humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, both descended from a common ancestor which lived in Africa 7 to 10 million years ago[25][26]. Gargoyles are most closely related to goats, and archaeological evidence suggests their lineages split apart in the Caucasus or Central Asian steppe 15 to 20 million years ago[25]. The earliest evidence of the use of stone tools by hominins dates back over 3 million years, while early gargoyles were known to have independently developed them over 5 million years ago, long predating humanity. There is little surviving evidence of gargoyle civilization or culture during this Homo-Gargula Gap[27], though it is probable that gargoyles were firmly established as the dominant species on the planet by the time early man ventured out of Africa around 2 million years ago[citation needed]. According to the gargoyle creation myth, first contact between the species led to the development of a student-mentor relationship in which gargoyles passed on their knowledge to mankind as their successors. The predominant gargoyle religion, the Rightwise and Orthodox Tutelary Order with No Name, maintains this belief to the modern day[28][29][30], though the earliest evidence of such cultural ties dates back less than 15,000 years, only entering the written record 5,000 years ago.

The word 'gargoyle' is derived from the French gargouille, which in English roughly translates to "throat" or "gullet,"[32][33] from Latin gurgulio, gula, and gargula. It originally referred exclusively to a trend in Gothic architecture in which masons carved decorative spouts into the likeness of the living creatures, with the name meant to imitate the resulting gargling sound of running water. Gargoyles refer to themselves as the Havrisi, Havri, or Havrisians, terms of indeterminate origin. One theory suggested they shared an etymology with Latin capra ("goat"), from the Proto-Indo European *ker- ("horned"), though this is now considered derogatory.

The Central Asian Republic of Havristan has been continuously inhabited since at least 8000 BCE, with the its capital city Heshkala being a contender for the oldest city in the world[34]. It had a reputation as such in Antiquity, according to Philo of Byblos. Havristan existed as an independent state until the Russian conquest of Central Asia in the mid-19th century. The Havrisi opposed imperial rule for decades and were some of the earliest adopters of the Marxist philosophy which led to the Russian Revolution in 1917. The Havris Soviet Socialist Republic was one of the founding members of the Soviet Union in 1922, though it was demoted to an Autonomous region of the Uzbek SSR following Stalin's purges in the late 1930s. Its status as a Union Republic was restored by Nikita Khrushchev in 1961, though relations with the wider Soviet government never improved, leading to Havristan being the first Central Asian Soviet Republic to declare independence (the fourth Soviet Republic overall after the Baltic states) in the summer of 1990[35][36].

Can Communism/Socialism Save America?

Everyone knows Fascism is bad, right? But most people don't know that Fascism and Communism are just two sides of the same coin. Fascism and Communism are all based on dictatorship. Did the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NAZI) allow other parties as their competitors? Did the Soviet Communist Party allow other parties to be their competitors? Does the Chinese Communist Party allow other parties to be their competitors? Do you want democracy or dictatorship? Do you want only one voice in your country? Do you want Collectivism that ignores or sacrifices any individual at any time as needed?
