Didn't Luna Oi say there's a name for these types of gusanos in Vietnamese?
I know you're doing a fun bit but I just want to point out that they didn't. They liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge.
The Vietnamese saved my aunt's life, and there are many members of her family that I will never meet because they died. The Vietnamese soldiers were running out of food during the invasion because they were giving their rations to the local people. Eternal respect to them.
For reals. My Kissinger hate is a bit personal. It rules that he'll be burning in hell with the rest while Ho is sipping tea in heaven.

Flattering aristocrats so the aristocrats will bestow favors is totally not feudalistic bullshit. :bootlicker:
"Nooooo we live in freedomerino land in which I can eat twenty diff flavoors of Oreos!!!"
:specter: There is a specter haunting late stage capitalism, and the bazinga brains and the chuds are trying to become Ghostbusters like in that le epic gem from the 80s. :wojak-nooo:
We exist. We remind them that their way does not have to be the only way.
