Palvin, or Lydon

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

you notice over time that some people clearly understand the concept of thinking critically about the media they consume and who its created by but dont want to do the critical thinking themselves so they just like. wait for people on the internet to tell them what theyre allowed to like in order to keep their Good Person score high or whatever. which doesnt seem very productive to me i think.

remembering (as a form of self harm).

*coughs blood* youre all just jealous of my wound. yuore trying to make me get rid of it because you wish you had a wound this cool

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

So like, the Vietnam War

I think in modern America, we kinda idealize and romanticize it, in both noticeable and subtle ways. The whole focus on the trauma of the soldiers rather than the human harm of the war on Vietnam, the myth of the spat on veteran, the fucking memorial to the Americans who died which ignores the 3 million civilians, the tendency to focus on the tactics of the Viet Cong rather than the North Vietnamese Regular Army, the fact the anti war protests are covered more than the war, the framing of it as a just war, the way we pretend we didn't lose it, like every fucking thing you learn about that war makes you hate America more

Hell even the very existence of South Vietnam was a fabrication held up by the Americans in violation of international law. We knew nothing about Vietnam and forcibly imposed our will onto another nation, creating a military dictatorship in the process, for what, the pride and appearance of the American state

I've been thinking a lot about Vietnam as of recent
