    I don’t know, it’s 20 years of hard labour for attempted assasination

    Outside of Vietnam, she is most well known for a photograph of her smiling at her sentencing for an attempted assassination during the Vietnam War. The photograph is popularly known as the “Smile of Victory” and has become a symbol of Vietnamese women who fought in the war.

      Tbh not my concern. Hard labor is barbaric, no matter what. Hard labor is enforced by either the threat of violence or the witholding of easentials. It is my belief that it is a human right to eat, and with our current technology barely 1/1000 people actually need to work for our society to function. I think capitalism itself is barbaric, because again, you are forced to work under threat of violence or witholding of essentials.

      The purpose of technology is to allow one person to do the work of many. If we invent a machine that lets one person do the job of seven, and you dont want an unfair system where one person literally does all the work, then the fair system is to make those seven people work one day each. Instead, seven people work seven days and the excess product is funneled into the hands of the wealthy. We have the ability with our current tech to almost fully automate most essential supply lines. Therefore, the idea that people should ever be FORCED to work is absurd. If you want excess, work for it. If you are fine with living on essentials only, you should be guaranteed that right as a human, regardless of your employment status.

        I’m just saying if you compare to a lot of places 20 years hard labour might be lenient. That’s if you’re making the good/evil distinction in comparison to how world is or to something else

          Yeah, someone else pointed that out to me. I really shouldntve used “the good guys”. As you probably noticed, im quite passionate about human rights and ubi. I hope I didnt come off as angry or rude. It just really frustrates me that people arent… just better towards each other.
