Does it really matter?

KI-Media gets sadder and sadder each day. You would actually post some random idiot’s blog and try to use that as proof that the Vietnamese are trying to conquer Cambodia? I know KI-Media has an racist agenda it tries to pursue, this blog uses tactics that are similar to any typical white supremist’s blog. But seriously, you’re grasping at straws with this one. Man, you guys are pathetic. Do you think if Vietnam did have plans for some sort of conquest that it would post or even allow someone to post it on a blog?

Concerning this

And my own comment. The KI media uses the same Pol Pot’s methods justifying their xenophobia towards Vietnamese. Let beat them with the same method by quoting Khieu Samphan:

For peasants of Samlaut and the peasants of the other villages independence had what meaning? It didn’t matter at all or had a very little of value. Under the French colonialists they had to accept all the hardships and expenses of Phnom Penh “progress”, they also were heavily pressed by debts. The system didn’t change since at all, except that Chinese took the middle positions of money lenders in place of the officials of the king.

So accepting Khieu Samphan’s logic independence didn’t matter to the majority of the population in Khmer Rouge era, People’s Republic and doesn’t matter now. Khieu Samphan slyly omitted this and started to insist that Vietnamese communists wanted to subject Cambodia. In other words the logic “independence didn’t matter” served only when it was useful to implicate “the corrupt Sangkum” and after that independence started to matter! What a tricky way to conceal the truth!

In his quote Khieu Samphan was correct. Independence does not matter to the majority of population as it’s an abstract category. Independence from what or who? In the present situation it’s the dependence on everything and everybody. Independence matter only to a handful American emigre who because of their good economic status are not subjected to the daily survival. But for the majority of population it’s a little bit different subject since their values and needs are a bit different too.
