#anti colonialism
My guilty pleasure as a leftist is watching Hamilton. So much liberalism, ouch. But the music slaps so hard.
It’s only when flirting with another leftist that I suddenly wish there was a guillotine emoji, but alas there is none.
오늘은 우리나라의 광복절입니다 (그리고 인도의 독립기념일이기도 합니다!). 1945년 8월 15일 - 평소에는 우리나라에게 이런 역사가 있다는것을 모를정도로 반복적이고 안정적인 삶을 살지만 사실 잘 생각해보면 1945년도 직전까지도 제 할머니 할아버지들의 부모님께서 청춘을 바쳐 살아온 세상이며 직시해야하는 현실였고, 제 할머니 할아버지들은 대한민국이 일본제국에서부터 해방되는것을 직접적으로 느끼며 자라왔을겁니다. 지금의 자유와 권리를 자연스럽게 누릴수 있게 된것은 개개인의 시민들과 수많은 독립운동가들의 노고가 있었기에 가능하다고 생각해요.
Today is a special day for not just one but two countries that are close to my heart - 8.15.1945 National Liberation Day of Korea , 8.15.1947 Independence Day of India If you think really hard about it, 1945 isn’t a long time ago - my great grandparents lived through Japanese colonialism and the war and my grandparents lived through the aftermath of the war and the Korean independence. The fast advanced Korea, the comfort of daily life, and the rights I have as a citizen in this country is a direct result of all the individual citizens’ and Independence Activists’ efforts of enduring, withstanding, and fighting for their rights.
