  • You do realize that’s all of what he’s after, right? He wants to be remembered in such a way that no American will ever be able to forget him. He doesn’t care why he’s remembered, only that he is. We don’t remember the name of the pilot of the Enola Gay, but we remember the plane, Fat Man, Little Boy, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Truman. Recognition and memory, for him, is more important than context.









  • I was friends with one of the main branch of the Myiang family, one of the first Burmese families to take a Western last name. I also know that Burmese pythons aren’t as scary as some people make them out to be. And that ‘Crab Rangoon’ has nothing to do with Yangon.

    Oh, and that there’s been a violent coup d’etat since about 3 years ago, and an oppressive, bloody genocide of the Rohingya population in the Rakhine state, which has been ongoing and unchecked through 2017. Cities have been destroyed, families have been murdered, and the world looks on without giving half a damn.
