Comment on Cuba Libre đ¨đş

Ho Chi Minh appealed to the United Statesâ supposed values of freedom and self-determination when he basically straight up asked for the Americansâ help liberating Vietnam from the French. Plenty of alternate histories to go around if the US doesnât guarantee shooting itself in the foot 100% of the time

One of the most disturbing truths of the internet age is that we could have already had a utopia on Earth by now. Itâs so easy to look back at the past and see how much better it could have gone if just a few tiny things had gone different.
But those inventions are still waiting to be discovered, and the social progress can still be had. Whenever we start building utopia, in hindsight it will look like we started at our darkest hour.

Yep, Vietnam is another I wish weâd just chosen to be friends with
