Uncle Ho did nothing wrong
Why apologize :uncle-ho:
yeah a lot of the vietnamese people in the oc are huge chuds. usually its the boomers and gen x though.
Lol the new interim director of ICE is a Vietnamese refugee
not even in oc. almost convinced that the diaspora throughout north america are chuds or at least very anti-communist. maybe things are changing but lots of catholic raised self identifying republican viet kids in suburbia.
I wouldn't pretend to know anything about this, but I think Luna Oi has occasionally mentioned Vietnamese who go to the US looking to get rich and talk shit about communism, then come back home for the free benefits.
My Congress rep has the Vietnamese boat thing on her site’s bio. It’s like a straight copy-paste out of Wikipedia
should double down instead of apologizing and looking weak
More than 2 million people were displaced, including thousands of Vietnamese refugees who settled in Orange County.
I wonder why that happened :thinkin-lenin:
I haven't done my Vietnam homework. 2 million sounds like a lot more than the bourgeois class fleeing - why did it happen?
The United States dropping more bombs on the country than had ever been dropped on any country in history before that?
For a leader of the Democratic Party to praise communist Ho and label America’s military as imperialist is both highly offensive and historically wrong.
Brainworms
jfc americans are fully brainwashed its honestly scary how brazen this stuff is
I got massacred for calling it out here. Don't vote, I'm just too lazy to take a screenshot. Used to be as low as -15.
EDIT: damn it I told you assholes not to vote!
America: not imperialist. Also America: Imperial Eagles, eagles everywhere
“My father fought against Ho Chi Minh’s communist forces and my uncle was murdered by Ho Chi Minh’s violent thugs,” Janet Nguyen wrote.
Damn, maybe if your uncle had just followed the law
“Mr. LeTourneau’s glorification of Ho Chi Minh spits in the face of the freedom, prosperity, and safety that so many Vietnamese Americans fought and died for, and the deaths of 58,000 American soldiers who laid down their lives to defend the freedom of the Vietnamese people,” states the letter from Reps. Rouda, D-Laguna Beach; Gil Cisneros, D-Yorba Linda; Lou Correa, D-Anaheim; and Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach plus State Sen. Tom Umberg, D-Santa Ana.
Indistinguishable from Republican rhetoric

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
