Whoaaa what the fuck?!?
The code talkers story is badass. An obscure, barely-known language is the basis for a virtually unbreakable code that significantly contributes to Allied success in WW2. This is not “woke” at all. If anything it fits perfectly into the right’s fever dream.
except that it suggests bipoc people have value and contribute meaningfully to our country.
Exactly. The right’s claim that they’re fighting DEI to restore merit is merely a smokescreen. These people believe that low melanin content is a precondition of merit
Continuing the long American tradition of genocide.
What the fuck.
I’m sorry; let me start over:
what the fuck.
The history of the code talkers is honestly the single most incredible shows of selfless contribution that First Nation people have ever given to a country that has done nothing to earn their loyalty. To remove that (rather incredible, as well as strategically significant) contribution from the history of the Army is a betrayal of the legacies the US Army claims to honor. I hope everyone involved in that decision feels like a complete piece of shit, but I also know a lot of them won’t.
It’s genuinely disgusting and just makes us non US folk despise America even further. Like everything about the nation Is rotten. But what do you expect from a nation born from the worst insane ethnic cleansing and genocidal campaign in human history
This isn’t the first time they’ve openly insulted the Navajo Code Talkers. In his first term, they gave some proclamation to a couple of old code-talker vets in the Oval Office, and decided to have the photo op under a portrait of Andrew Jackson, widely considered theost genocidal president toward Native Americans. It was the idea if Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, no doubt. It’s exactly the kind of thing he’d find amusing, and HitlerPig would be too stupid to even get it.
The code talkers’ ghosts, being told about this: “Yeah, that’s about what we expected.”
I hope those ghosts haunt the shit out of HitlerPig.
They’re racists simple as that. I’m guessing this shit also has to do with Trump’s fucking asinine and quite frankly, useless executive order declaring English to be the official language of the US as well.
I hope other things happen to them that I will leave unsaid
These guys were a huge part of the success of WWII.
Fucking bigots.
Traitors.
‘Winston Smith works in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite historical documents so they match the constantly changing current party line. This involves revising newspaper articles and doctoring photographs—mostly to remove “unpersons”, people who have fallen afoul of the party.’
UGH this is SO LAME. The code talkers were incredible humans. Fuck this regime.
Is someone keeping track of everything they’re trying to erase from history? I really hope it’s all been archived somewhere so it can be put back into the records after these nuts are no longer in power.
following their instructions i was able to find archived info about code talkers. it also has ways to download info to preserve it personally
If it’s any consolation, Nicolas Cage starred in a movie about this.
It’s upsetting that government websites have less and less information.
