Let&#8217;s get back to discussing the many issues raised in the article. Thanks!\u2014Linh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This cordial calling for peace from both sides, hence \u201cguys,\u201d triggered this response from ebear, \u201cI thought I was. You mean putting Mr. Indignant in his place doesn\u2019t meet your exacting standards, oh ye who constantly rips on Ron Unz and the Mighty Jews? Fuck you, you self-important hypocrite. Unsubscribe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amazing, the unhinged emotion, but also the flawed logic, for I have only attacked the unreasoning of Ron Unz and Jewish thinking. I have never said \u201cfuck you\u201d or \u201cgrow the fuck up\u201d to Unz (or anyone else), because that would illuminate nothing, plus make me look like the one who needs to grow up.<\/p>\n<p>Spending three decades in Philly, I heard \u201cfuck\u201d every fourth sentence, and often in three sentences in a row, for that\u2019s just how we talk, yo, but I never heard \u201cfuck\u201d or \u201cshit\u201d once during five months in Namibia. Their restraint, and, yes, civility, forced me to curb my lingo.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to start a Namibian Peace Corps to deliver higher standards of behavior and English to heart of darkness Americans.<\/p>\n<p>How bad has it gotten? When ADeceptive Pseudonym complains that John Derbyshire has become \u201ca complete idiot,\u201d goeshittheragman responds, \u201cagreed \u2013 i think it\u2019s too much gook food. ya know he\u2019s married to a slant eye\u2019d slopehead, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s at the highfalutin <em>Unz Review<\/em>, where for several years, I shudder to remember, I acted more or less as the Namibian Peace Corps.<\/p>\n<p>Defending Unz, two white sexpats with years in Asia said free speech should be absolute, but that has long been a Jewish ploy to push degeneracy and drag down civilization. Think porn and pop music.<\/p>\n<p>Though it\u2019s seeping in, such Jewish progressivism hasn\u2019t quite poisoned Vietnam. Ugly old men can\u2019t just strut naked during Pride Parades, freakish drag queens don\u2019t educate first graders and there\u2019s no debate about what\u2019s a woman. What are you, stoopid?<\/p>\n<p>If you go to a lecture by, say, Thomas Sowell, you can\u2019t just shout, \u201cShut up, nigger!\u201d That\u2019s only free speech at a Jewish outhouse like <em>Unz Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this sign I just saw in V\u0169ng T\u00e0u:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">West Lake B\u00fan Ch\u1ea3<br \/>\nWe beg to announce:<br \/>\nRestaurant begs to increase prices<br \/>\n5,000 \u0111\u1ed3ng [21 cents] per portion<br \/>\n[&#8230;]<br \/>\nWe beg to thank our valued customers!<\/p>\n<p>Translating, I didn\u2019t Americanize its language by eliminating \u201cbeg\u201d [\u201cxin\u201d], for that\u2019s crucial to its tone. Though xin c\u00e1m \u01a1n, meaning to beg to say thank you, is very awkward in English, that\u2019s the politest way for Vietnamese to say thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Consider also these lyrics by the top Vietnamese rapper, \u0110en V\u00e2u:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Oh, without you, mom, I&#8217;d have been trash<br \/>\nWith neither foundation nor order though I may sit up high<br \/>\nThe computer I recorded my first songs<br \/>\nYou had to earn through days of sweat (drenched)<br \/>\nNow that I can work and make money<br \/>\nAll you need to do, mom, is sit back to enjoy oh (tea)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Oh those miserable gray days<br \/>\nWith swirling wind and you, mom, so thin<br \/>\nSometimes you passed out on the street from hunger<br \/>\nYou didn&#8217;t dare to buy clothing<br \/>\nDidn&#8217;t dare to spend money out of worries (for me)<br \/>\nNow I coolly carry a bag to buy you a Dior bag<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">My first words were taught by whom (you, mom)<br \/>\nMy first letters, who held my hand (you, mom)<br \/>\nMy first mistakes, who corrected me (you, mom)<br \/>\nMy first stumbles, who pulled me up (always you, mom)<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UVbv-PJXm14\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s corny as shit, excuse my Philadelphian, but I\u2019m sure glad Vietnam hasn\u2019t gone full gangsta, Howard Stern or Jerry Springer.<\/p>\n<p>After spending nine months in the US in 1831-2, Alexis de Tocqueville observed:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Americans, in their relations with foreigners, appear impatient at the least censure and insatiable for praise. The slimmest eulogy is agreeable to them and the greatest is rarely enough to satisfy them; they pester you at every moment to get you to praise them; and if you resist their entreaties, they praise themselves. One would say that, doubting their own merit, they want to have a picture of it before their eyes at each instant. Their vanity is not only greedy, it is restive and envious. It grants nothing while demanding constantly. It is entreating and quarrelsome at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Ever more pronounced, this trait will only get worse as the country sinks further into idiocy, degeneracy and bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>Where is the Namibian Peace Corps?!<\/p>\n<p>Fuck, man, it\u2019s already too late. On <em>Unz<\/em>, the chimping out intensifies because, you know how it is, what Jews want, Jews get, especially among Angry White Pussies. Most don\u2019t know no better, and the ones who do don\u2019t dare do nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Writing this at Caf\u00e9 Ca Dao, I\u2019ve been sitting outside to get away from noise distractions, but it\u2019s extremely hot. Done, I\u2019ll go inside to listen to bits of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline or Don McLean, etc. Already, the best of the USA survives outside it. Japan\u2019s Jonathan is the ultimate American diner.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s too bad they don\u2019t have \u201cAmerican Pie,\u201d but its lyrics border on the surreal or even nonsense. Still, they resonate and ring true. Fresh off the C-130, I heard them for the first time in 1976. Even with my very limited English, I was captured, but then, the other hits were \u201cDisco Duck,\u201d \u201cI Never Wanted to Touch a Man\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s The Way I Like It,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n<p>Written in 1971, just two years after America\u2019s top moment, its \u201cmoon landing,\u201d McLean sang of the end:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And in the streets, the children screamed.<br \/>\nThe lovers cried and the poets dreamed,<br \/>\nBut not a word was spoken.<br \/>\nThe church bells all were broken.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And the three men I admire most,<br \/>\nThe Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,<br \/>\nThey caught the last train for the coast,<br \/>\nThe day the music died.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And they were singing, \u201cBye bye, Miss American Pie.\u201d<br \/>\nDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,<br \/>\nAnd them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye,<br \/>\nSinging, \u201cThis will be the day that I die<br \/>\nThis will be the day that I die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To save Americans from themselves, and the rest of the world from the jewjacked USA, America can\u2019t die soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>From its ashes, humbler, thus saner, communities may rise. From ruins, they\u2019ll fish out half burnt copies of <em>Leaves of Grass<\/em>, and maybe even an Edward Hopper painting. The luckiest kids will glory in <em>Krazy Kat<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With no playback machines, all canned music will be lost, so Thelonious Monk will just be an improbable name from a queerer country, one that took almost no time to waste and betray all of its hope, a remarkable achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Bye bye, Miss American Tatt. Steer my Tesla to the Safeway, but the Safeway\u2019s been ransacked. Them MAGA boys have no fentanyl left, so they can\u2019t even croak, \u201cThis will be the day that I die.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_258338\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Berkley-3-20-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258338\" class=\"wp-image-258338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Berkley-3-20-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Berkley-3-20-13.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Berkley-3-20-13-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-258338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Berkley 3-20-13<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Postcards from the End is a reader-supported publication.
