Hakka

One of the most common languages alongside Cantonese and Min in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Hakka is also a somewhat common language that is spoken by the Chinese community in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Being an off-spring with Sze Yap and Gan languages of the Chu state at which it was originated from the Yangtze River of South China, Hakka is a Miao-Yao language that was spoken by the Chu natives in its archaic form. Later, Hakka evolved to borrow a small percent of Han (Mandarin) words, Cantonese words, and Min words, as well as being written in Chinese characters alongside Mandarin, Cantonese, Min, and Wu for speakers to socialize with each other more effectively. Regardless, Hakka is a distinctive Asian language from other languages in China and most people outside of China (except for Chinese nationalists) consider Miao-Yao not placed under the Sino-Tibetan family tree.
In the 20th century, Hakka might have been suppressed by Chinese nationalists of the Kuomintang (ROC) government out of favoritism for only Mandarin with a Beijing accent to thrive in Taiwan. Blessed with charm that the Kuomintang (ROC) was declining in its power in the late 1980s, the DPP is trying to promote equality for Taiwanese people to speak Hakka alongside Min, Mandarin, and the Taiwanese aborigines languages whatever they wish. The progressive party, especially the current Hakka president of Taiwan, rocks!

Facebook

A hollow social media platform that is used for many very superficial, annoying, and addictive users to communicate on messages, post pictures and post comments about their personal lives numerous times daily that almost nobody doesn't give a crap about and users can face age or sex discrimination to minimize their chances of gaining a real-life job or increase their chances of getting fired from their jobs. To make matters worst, 50 million Facebook accounts were hacked, and were sold to corporate interests in the USA and even Russia to benefit from corrupted capitalism. In effect, multiple users deleted their Facebook permanently, and they are trying to sue and to incarcerate Mark Zuckerberg for violating their private information and fraudulence.
Facebook is going down as the most resented to destroy real-life social lives for everyone who are consuming it. Facebook needs to burn to the ground to restore our humanity within us, and to encourage more people to enjoy the outside world even it is more dangerous where a rapist or gunman is threatening people for dominance and have to urge to slay them out of hatred or greed. In all honesty, every social medias suck.

Alt-right

An ideology that the white supremacists used to promote their deceiving Nazi propaganda to paint the picture to the general public that they are the "saviors", and that they are superior to the Left-wing, Antifa, and minorities, such as Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, blind people, deaf people, women, and blacks, who should all be bowing down endlessly to the so-called "Master Race" or else they should be all massacred with torment. In reality, white supremacists ain't so master race after all, if they got their asses easily kicked under the Confederacy during the American Civil War and under the Nazi Party during World War II. Afterwards, most war-driven Nazis got arrested and were sentenced to be executed on trial by being shot to death from a firing squad and corpses spit at by the general public when the American Civil War and World War II both ceased.
In Australia, a mass-shooter is an Alt-right extremist who wants to kill as many people as possible to cope with his fear of being open to people who look different from him or they don't want to give into his desires. A mass-shooter successfully murdered 50 people with a deadly gun, but when a random person, Abdul Aziz, threw a baseball-sized ATM machine at the mass-shooter's head, the mass-shooter ran off like a total wuss, admitting his pathetic defeat and he was eventually caught by police to be sent to prison. Afterwards, Abdul Azziz was praised as the hero who prevented a mass-shooter from taking away and ruining more lives of innocent civilians.

Yue

A term used to describe the Sinicized Baiyue or Asian languages, such as Cantonese, Taishanese (Sze Yap), and Goulou, of Kwangtung, South China (Baiyue Land), Hong Kong, and Macau. Another Sinicized Baiyue language, Hakka, shares some loansome words, some pronunciation, and some Hanzi characters with Cantonese and Hokkien, which is lumped under the Min language family of Fujian, South China and Taiwan. However, Hakka is viewed as a different Vietic language, and it is mostly related to the Gan language of Jiangxi, South China. In fact, Yue is also used to describe a group of indigenous people inhabiting South China under the Yangtze River and to a certain degree, Southeast Asia, particularity Vietnam, and most of them are not Chinese or not descendants of the Yellow Emperor from North China's Yellow River genetically and culturally.
"Yue" is another term for "Viet" in Asia.

Cantonese

A major language that is used to communicate in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. In other places, Cantonese is spoken the most by the Chinese community in Vietnam and the West, such as the USA, Canada, and the UK. Cantonese is a Yue language, which is a descendant of a Yue state, Southern Yue, that started its civilization below the Yangtze River of South China, before evolving to absorb a handful of Han (Mandarin) loan words and using the written Hanzi characters to express their own way of connecting to people. Cantonese is a different Asian language from Mandarin, due to speakers of both of these languages not being able to understand each other, unless Cantonese and Mandarin speakers only understand each other in Hanzi characters and using body language to some degree. Moreover, Cantonese sounds closer to Hakka, unlike Mandarin that sounds closer to Manchu. Finally, Cantonese isn't a Sino-Tibetan language, unlike Chinese nationalists thinking otherwise.
Whoever said that Cantonese has about 30% of Yue words, Mandarin has about 30% of Manchu words, and that these languages are both "Han Chinese", are either uneducated or blinded by nationalism to an extreme to spread fake news. On top of this, Chinese supremacists think that Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking groups are one "race", Han Chinese, similar to white supremacists spreading false information that most Europeans with blue eyes and white skin are part of the "untainted" Aryan race. However, Cantonese people or South Chinese genetically have double eyelids, bigger eyes, a darker skin tone, a shorter height, fatter noses, and an angular facial structure. On the other hand, Mandarin-speaking northern Han people or North Chinese genetically have smaller eyelids, smaller eyes, a lighter skin tone, a taller height, flatter noses, and a flatter facial structure. In other words, Cantonese resemble a lot like Southeast Asians, compared to northern Hans having the appearance of North Asians. Chinese supremacists need to get out more from their own tiny world to explore different cultures of tribal people. If not, screw those moronic smartasses.

Khmer Rouge

The Cambodian regime that terrorized Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. In the 1970s, the USA bombed Cambodia to get rid of the communist Vietcong, who was hiding underground, but this caused the Khmer Rouge to mistrust the USA and they overthrew the Western puppet, Lon Nol, since Cambodia tried to remain neutral. The leader of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot, was not a true communist, because he was a Chinese puppet being installed by China and Pol Pot even discarded communism in 1975. In fact, the West also supported the Khmer Rouge and didn't care if Cambodians were suffering. In actuality, Pol Pot was a Khmer nationalist by seeking to resurrect the Khmer Empire, based on his desire to slaughter all Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Cham, and other races, who he saw as threats to the Khmer race, as well as slaughtering Buddhists and the educated, and reclaiming lost territories, including South Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. Also, Pol Pot wanted to remove Cambodian currency for the Khmer elites to flourish in wealth for themselves. After massacring about 1.7 to 2.2 million Cambodians, Pol Pot made a foolishly grave mistake by stepping onto Vietnam's soil from the west. The Vietcong easily defeated and exiled the Khmer Rouge into Cambodia's forests, where Pol Pot was put under house arrest until he died in 1998. Although, Pol Pot was largely assisted by PLA soldiers of Beijing to ward off against the Vietnamese from the north, but the Khmer Rouge was finished.
Despite the Khmer Rouge era being over, Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge officer and he was installed as the prime minister of Cambodia in the late 20th century. Hun Sen used to support the Khmer Rouge's heinous actions against the Cambodians until he ceased supporting the Khmer Rouge in favor of siding with the Vietcong and his Cambodian people. However, Hun Sen sides with China now to enrich himself with wealth by allowing China to occupy his military naval base. It seems that money and power are more important than a human life to greedy politicians. Look at the brighter side. At least Cambodia isn't as totalitarian as North Korea or China these days, but we will see how Cambodia will be doing in the future.

Trung Sisters

Two Asian heroines who rose up against the Han dynasty for Nanyue (Vietnam) independence. Following the Han dynasty that enslaved Vietnam in 111 BC and executed Trung Trac's husband for protesting against inflating tax prices in an unfair trial, the enraged Trung Sisters joined the Vietnamese military to ride on elephants with swords to rally up their troops against Han soldiers, who prohibited women from joining the military to remain as house wives due to Confucius' sexist teachings. In spite of the Trung Sisters managing to hold off the Hans for a few years, most of the Trung Sisters' forces were suppressed and they were surrounded by the Hans. In the Vietnamese records, the Trung Sisters jumped off a cliff to commit suicide to avoid capture. In the Chinese records, the Trung Sisters were caught and decapitated by the Hans to keep their heads as souvenirs. After the Trung Sisters' deaths, the Hans executed all of the Trung Sisters' supporters and banned Yue customs in favor of Han customs more strictly than before. Fortunately, in 939 AD, Vietnam regained independence from the collapsed Tang dynasty. Hence, Vietnam recovered its own culture and freedom until the French took over in 1887, but it regained its own nation after the Vietcong won in the Vietnam War of the 20th century.
The will of the Trung Sisters influences the Vietnamese to stay together as a country and to never be slaves to any foreign nations, such as China, Japan, France, or the USA, ever again. Without the Trung Sisters' righteous actions against the Hans, Vietnam would have still been a territory of China today, unlike Asian territories, such as Manchuria, Tibet, Xinjiang (East Turkestan), the Minyue Kingdom (present-day Fujian/Hokkien) and the Nanyue Kingdom (present-day Guangxi and Guangdong, except for present-day North Vietnam). Even in the present, the Vietnamese people pay respects for the Trung Sisters yearly at a Hanoi temple, which is named after the sisters.
