On this day in 1945, Hồ Chí Minh announced the Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam to a crowd of thousands at the Ba Đình flower garden (now Ba Đình Square).
The Proclamation led directly to war with France, which concluded in the country being divided between French and self-rule at the 17th parallel. Vietnam would not achieve a unified, independent rule until 1976.
The Proclamation quoted heavily from the American Declaration of Independence and was vehemently critical of French rule. An excerpt reads:
"‘All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.’ This immortal statement was made in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. In a broader sense, this means: All the peoples on the earth are equal from birth, all the peoples have a right to live, to be happy and free.
…Nevertheless, for more than eighty years, the French imperialists, abusing the standard of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, have violated our Fatherland and oppressed our fellow-citizens. They have acted contrary to the ideals of humanity and justice. In the field of politics, they have deprived our people of every democratic liberty…They have built more prisons than schools. They have mercilessly slain our patriots; they have drowned our uprisings in rivers of blood…They have robbed us of our rice fields, our mines, our forests, and our raw materials.
For these reasons, we, members of the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, solemnly declare to the world that Vietnam has the right to be a free and independent country - and in fact is so already. The entire Vietnamese people are determined to mobilize all their physical and mental strength, to sacrifice their lives and property in order to safeguard their independence and liberty."

Based nwo or whatever
I propose a new flag for a Federated Hexbear
The ultra-liberals over at sh.itjust.stinks are not ok. holy mother of god.
- comparing hexbears showing up in a federated thread about hexbear to “a rave showing up at a library”
- bRiGaDiNg
- mockery of “bRiGaDiNg” met with “I HATE YOU, YOU’RE BLOCKED”
- “ship all the hexbears to North Korea”
- “To be fair, colonialism is a human trait and it’s been proven in every large society time and time again. It is inevitable, humans are destined for this.”
- MFers are still on about uIgHuR GeNoCiDe long after the media gave up on pretending it’s a real thing, and there has never been a single source other than that one fucking guy (Adrian Zens).
“Colonialism is a human trait”
I don’t say this often, but that’s a incredible amount of liberal white guilt
uh actually you misspelt his name, it’s actually Zenz, for this reason i will disregard everything you said
Aydrin Zinzz
They seem like normal healthy people.
They just need a week to get it out of their system
Hehe I guess shit just doesn’t work
sh.itjust.stinks
heh
“ship all the hexbears to North Korea”
“if you don’t want to live in america you should go live in a place america bombs, sanctions, coups, balkanizes, and/or embargoes that’ll show you!”
really makes you think
Ho Chi Minh: Approvingly quotes America’s declaration of independence when trying to get out from under French colonial rule
America:
Online liberals can be a bit condescending huh
You could choose to read Hotel California as a metaphor for drug use, but you would have to come to terms with The Hotel California meaning THC, and in my opinion that song is a little too dramatic to be about weed. It is much better if you just understand it literally, as a song about a really spooky hotel.
I was under the impression it was about heroin.
You might be thinking of Heroin by The Velvet Underground
Such powerful posting what a hero

A person’s propensity to call Twitter X is inversely correlated to their propensity to use the correct pronouns.
It has been over a month and all the news articles are still adding “formerly Twitter” every time. It’s never gonna catch on
I found a kinda cool side quest in starfield thats kinda a microcosm of the state of the game
The game asked me to find something in a derelict ship where the generator was cycling on and off and oxygen and gravity was also cycling on and off
It was kinda cool trying to navigate the ship with and without gravity, however my companion npc was also with me and for some reason they decided to make it so that the npc would instantly change into their space suit whenever there was no oxygen and instantly change to normal clothes when there was so my companion was changing clothes every 10 second which really took me out of it
That’s that good Bethesda jank
Bot bit ideas:
- “tankie use detector” that searches their posts for the number times they use the word tankie
- “reddit user alert” searches reddit for an exact match of their username and links their profile
- “n word bot” searches the profile linked by reddit user alert bot and displays number of slurs
- when a user says tankie, an auto response asks them to define tankie. Responding to that bot gives a second auto response of PPB
- using “authoritarian” needs something too, idk maybe linking englels and bakunin’s essays or something
On the dead bird site there was an On Authority bot for a minute
Lmao incredible
