    Oh. I can’t see, apparently. Never mind.

    Oh, and also this is pre-Nixon, so featuring Taiwan in the role it’s being featured in is the exact opposite type of propaganda as the type of propaganda I took it to be, probably. Oops…

      It’s pre Chinese communist revolution. ROC hadn’t even retreated to Taiwan yet. They were busy teaming up to defeat the Japanese imperials.

        Oh shit. You are right, I should know that too; it’s in Roger Waters.

        "In the spring of '48

        Mao Tse Tung got quite irate

        And he kicked that old dictator Chiang, out of state"

        That’s literally the only reason I would know the date lol.
