Funnily enough, I never really heard that speech. But, what (most) Filipinos DO remember is the very memorable words of General Douglas McArthur. Yes, not a Filipino. His words that echo throughout modern Filipino history, is "I shall return". We even have a goddamned statue dedicated to that in Leyte (MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park). If you ask for a Filipino made speech, then "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" (Translation: Children are the hope of the Nation) by the National Hero, Jose Rizal (look up his full name) is going to be quoted. Mainly because its spread throughout the Philippines, hell, its even in the constitution that Education has to have the biggest slice of the budget pie.

@@omar42315 curiously, no word for word speeches of his are remembered in popular culture. The most well known one would 100% be his "opener" to WW2 in front of the Parliament, if I'm not missing something here. "Since 5:45 AM we've been firing back (at them)" he says, falsely alleging that the Polish had actually raided a German border post. There are many more speeches of his. Passionate ones, to fire up the audience, diplomatic ones where he justifies his foreign policies under false pretences. I assume many of these aren't well-known because the former are hateful and dangerous to the youth, while the latter are dull of lies and might give justification to some of the moves he's made, if the listener doesn't know the real circumstances of the time or uses his words in a knowingly disingenuous manner. If you want to look into some, there are his speech over the annexation of the Sudetenland ("it is the last remaining territorial claim I have to make, but is this one that I will not yield!") and his declaration of war against the USA which is one of my all time favourite since he speaks a lot of truth in there, demonstrating mistakes of US foreign policy that enabled his rise to power. Sadly, this one seems banned on KZbin and I only found an audio version in German which spans 90 minutes but if you want to, I can translate the most interesting parts of it. If interested, mail me under [e-mail] with subject line "Hitler speech" I might also just end up posting an analysis of the speech on my KZbin channel.

[@swanpride]

@@omar42315 Frankly, it's less Hitler's speeches which are remembered and more Goebbels various lies. I actually know the speech by Otto Wels (SPD politician who spoke up against the "Ermächtigungsgesetz") better than anything Hitler ever said. But in terms of "quotes" people remember in Germany, the top quotes are certainly "Ich bin ein Berliner" (by Kennedy), "Niemand hat die Absicht eine Mauer zu errichten" (as mentioned, Ulbricht promising to not built a wall shortly before he actually built the wall), "Wir sind gekommen um ihnen mitzuteilen, dass ihre Ausreise..." (by Genscher in the Prague Ambassy when he told a bunch of Germans that they would be allowed to travel to West Germany...the sentences is cut off, because you couldn't understand what else he said due to the cheering crowd) and "Äh, äh, ich denke ab sofort." (which isn't actually from a speech, but from Schablowski, a GDR official who was supposed to give a press conference about the GDR loosening travel restrictions but accidentally cause the run on the wall which lead to its fall). It's understandable, I guess, because nowadays, the war has been over for so long, but the wall, that is something from living memory. And those quotes turn up in pretty much every "fast cut through German history" reel, while there is naturally little interest to show anything what Hitler did, and Otto Wels speech doesn't have a recording. Oh, and there are naturally the most important speech ever: Es gibt im Moment in diese Mannschaft, oh, einige Spieler vergessen ihren Profi was sie sind. Ich lese nicht sehr viele Zeitungen, aber ich habe gehört viele Situationen. Erstens: Wir haben nicht offensiv gespielt. Es gibt keine deutsche Mannschaft spielt offensiv und die Namen offensiv wie Bayern. Letzte Spiel hatten wir in Platz drei Spitzen: Elber, Jancker und dann Zickler. Wir mussen nicht vergessen Zickler. Zickler ist eine Spitzen mehr, Mehmet mehr Basler. Ist klar diese Wörter, ist möglich verstehen, was ich hab’ gesagt? Danke.

As a chilean, hearing Allende's last speech was always really sad. Think what you will about socialism, but the man fought like nobody for the people of the country and it's economical independece (although some may think otherwise), only for all his and people's dreams to be crushed for 17 years, and even longer. Now, after 2019's protests and recent politicals accomplishments, I finally think that Allende wasn't wrong in his hope about the future. It's just that he, from 1973, was looking farther into the future than anyone else could, and I find it inspiring just to think that, even confronted with his own innevitable dead, he was able to look into the future with hope and faith.

[@helterskelter9670]

@@piekarzpaola Well, I shouldn't reply to this kind of comments, but I'll do it just for anyone who might wonder if this is actually true. The Mitrokhin archive, released by the MI6 (UK's national intelligence service) revealed that Allende not only wasn't a KGB agent, but also that they had a very bad impression of him. It seems that he was discredited by the Chilean Communist Party (Allende was from the Socialist Party). This might explain why the USSR did very little to help Chile when it was being economically sabotaged. Also one of KGB's policies was not to have spies in Latin America, as we weren't seen as "enemies of the USSR". The one thing that is true is that Allende received money from the KGB back in 1961 (9 years before becoming president) in exchange for information about Chile's security and while I agree that that's kind of shady, we have to understand that it was a context of Cold War and if you were a major political figure in Latin America you either received money from the CIA or the KGB. And most of the people that caused chilean's tragic coup d'état and the following dictatorship where financed by the CIA. The thought that Allende might be a KGB agent was reported to be a personal belief of Richard Nixon, who was kind of paranoid after the cuban revolution, wich he saw as a personnal defeat.

[@TheIrishYoshi]

In Ireland, we are made to learn two separate national anthems in primary school; one in Irish and one in English. Amhran na bhFiann, which translates to "The Soldier's Song", is usually taught first and is what I learned first. The song comes from the days of the Irish War of Independence, but surprisingly enough it was originally written in English. The Irish translation is what children learn today, and is sung at all big Irish sports games (gaelic football, hurling, soccer, etc). The notable exception is rugby, where because the Irish team is made up for the entire island, including the British owned Northern Ireland, an English anthem is sung. It would considered inappropriate by players from the North to play Amhran na bhFiann in English, as the lyrics describe war against the British, which many in the North were against. Instead they use a new song written in 1995 called "Ireland's Call". This song's lyrics are entirely in English and describe Irish people from all over the island standing together in unity. It's a strong symbol of unity between the Republic and the North. I'm not sure if Ireland's Call is on the curriculum for children to learn here, but Amhran na bhFiann certainly is. Regardless, my teachers made sure we knew both word for word, and we could sing it for the parents when the teachers wanted us to, in a choir sort of set up. This is strictly a primary school thing though, and once a child goes to secondary school at 12/13, they will most likely forget the words to Amhran na bhFiann pretty quickly, as most people don't speak enough Irish to keep it in their heads properly

I'd say Dilma Rousseff's speeches are kind of memes here in Brazil, because of how they seem to make absolutely no sense, even within context: - "I don't think who will win or who will lose, nor who will win or will lose, will either win or lose. Everybody will lose" - "I am saluting the manioc" - "Children's Day is also Mother's, Day, Father's Day, and Teacher's Day, but it's also Animals' Day. Everytime you look at a child, there's always a hidden figure, which is a dog behind, which is something very important"

[@georgios_5342]

From Greece, there's a speech that was given after the fall of the military junta and the restoration of democracy in 1974. Two of its quotes are almost universally remembered. Konstantinos Karamanlis was the first Prime Minister of the Third Hellenic Republic, and the two most remembered phrases are "Ανήκομεν εις την Δύσιν/We belong to the West" and "Η Κύπρος κείται μακράν/Cyprus is far" in reference to the ongoing Turkish conquest of Cyprus, partially allowed by the previous military regime's mismanagement and collapse. Cyprus was a Greek island before that point but nowadays it's divided in Greek and Turkish sectors. His speech is remembered as a symbol of political division and the deep struggle of the Greek state to find its political place in the world. There are many Greeks that consider Greece to be its own separate cultural sphere and that we should have some sort of independence, while there are also others that believe we belong to the west and we should try to conform to it as much as possible if we want to survive from Turkey. The reality is that Greece was independent culturally and politically in the time of the Byzantine Empire, but then it was squished between Islam/Turkey and Catholicism/Western Powers, which relentlessly invaded it again and again until it was divided in 1204 and then completely annexed in 1453. The entire early modern era for Greece was its people being slaughtered and its culture and language being replaced and assimilated by the Turkish while its religion was replaced by Islam, to the point where the Greek identity went from a Great power to a minor power. Because then Turkish power also diminished, Greece became free but with the aid of the Western Powers. A lot of independence movements had happened all across the Balkans and Anatolia, but they were slaughtered in the tens of thousands. The only real movements that ever had any success were the ones that were aided by and profited foreign powers. This has given Greece a huge national trauma to the point where many people believe we're depended on someone to exist. Even today Greeks are terribly scared of what a Turkish invasion would mean, so Greece is fairly stratocratic and spends a huge amount of its funds on army equipments and ensuring alliances, and Greek men are obliged by law to 1 year of military service (it was recently extended because of Turkish aggression and militarism under Erdogan). So yeah, many people consider him to be a "traitor" to Greece as its own little sphere, because he "submitted" us to the west and betrayed the Greeks on Cyprus, while others uphold his speech for "renewing" our traditional allies in the West and at least securing mainland Greece, since it was evident that, just as in Cyprus, an unexpected Turkish invasion could happen and it would be... bad.

[@afinoxi]

"Turkish conquest" nice wording. Certainly it was conquest and not stopping the massacres committed to Turks and stopping enosis. Cyprus wasn't a Greek island. It was a Greek and Turkish island until Greeks didn't want the Turks anymore. We assimilated your culture , religion and language so well that your language , culture and religion after 600 years of Turkish rule , even more in some other regions , exists today. Also , Greeks answered to the Patriarchate of Constantinople as they were Christians and they had autonomy on many matters.

[@georgios_5342]

@@afinoxi all of modern Turkey except for Kurdish and Armenian territories were originally exclusively Greek, and Turks came as migrants. Despite that, Greeks lived with Turks for centuries and only rebelled when they were being slaughtered. Of course, not always was there an organized plan for the extinction of the Greeks, but especially after 1909 and the Young Turks and then in modern Turkey, Greeks are actively censored and expelled and exterminated. In 1909-1922 especially the Greeks were genocided systematically in the Ottoman Empire, in an effort to transition to an ethnic state from multiethnic empire. But Young Turks and Kemal didn't accept giving foreign inhabited lands to the respective nations, instead they purged non-turks from the empire to make a huge Turkish state. That's Nazism. And Hitler himself applauded Kemal, saying he only wanted to copy what he did. Anyway, Greece was always a Greek island. The Muslim minority on Cyprus was 15%, concentrated in the cities on the southern coast. Even if you count Northern Cyprus as a different "region", Greeks were the majority even there. In fact the Turkish Cypriots are an even smaller minority than the Muslim Cretans, who were 22-24% the island's population. And of course, the propaganda you're fed in Turkey shows from the illogical arguments that are made. If Greeks don't want Turks in Cyprus, why do they accept Turks in Thrace and in fact they are protected and prosper? Did you know that the "massacres" you say were in reality terrorist attacks by an extremist group that were then jailed? Did you know that the victims were 150-200 people, while Greek victims of the Turkish invasion were 6000 innocent civilians and of course many more soldiers? Finally, I want to show you a last fact that might make you reconsider. How have Turkey and Greece taken care of each other's minorities since 1922? Turkey: unilaterally abolished the autonomy and rights of the Greek majority on Imbros and Tenedos in 1927. Imposed unequal taxation (Varlik Vergisi) and instituted a pogrom with many victims and destruction of property in Constantinople (September 1955, the September Events) Greeks in Turkey (1914)=>approximately 3 million Greeks in Turkey (1922)=> approximately 300.000 Greeks in Turkey (1925)=>approximately 125.000 (in Constantinople, Imbros and Tenedos) Greeks in Turkey (1955)=>less than 80.000 Greeks in Turkey (today)=> 2.500 This paints a pretty dramatic picture. On the other hand, the Turks in Greece were exchanged according to the Lausanne convention signed in January 1923, with the exception of the Turks in Thrace, which were a significant minority. As such: Turks in Greece (1923, pre exchange)=> approximately 500.000 Turks in Greece (1924, post exchange)=> approximately 75.000 (remaining only in Western Thrace) Turks in Greece (today)=> approximately 125.000, ie have almost doubled, while the Greeks have been forced to extinction. I hope you see these with an open mind. Have a good day.

Speaking of things around the world, EPCOT, one of Disney World’s parks, has this thing called the World Showcase where there’s a pavilion for various countries which include: 1.

Norway Basically these pavilions try to give a snippet of the cultural experience these countries have to offer, though it is through a Disnified lens, so to some people they might come as a bit off. I asked some people about this, some think it’s endearing, others not so much. Also, I think but not too sure just based on memory, the people who work at the pavilions are from the countries they represent. I particularly thought the Mexico pavilion, which is a recreation of an ancient Aztec temple was particularly atmospheric. The inside was made to look bigger than the outside and the walls are painted in such a way as if you’re looking at the Mexican landscape at twilight.

If you’re still thinking of doing the patriotic things kids need to learn in school, the “Pledge of Allegiance” is the US’s biggest one other than singing the national anthem. Every kid needs to learn this pledge by heart and recite it while facing the flag every morning of their elementary school career, and in retrospect it’s something you’d see in like the Man in the High Castle of children being brainwashed to be completely aligned with the state. But then again by middle and high school, no one does does the pledge or the national anthem at least in CPS schools, and those times in one’s life might be more important in whether or not someone would be an ultra patriotic robot or a normal person who can recognize the flaws in their government.

I mean, his biggest mistake was making an enemy out of the media (which was practically all the people back then believed). That along with corrupt military officials who abused the martial law and gave Marcos an ugly reputation. There are facts that debunk the golden age thingy but the golden age existed nonetheless. Our economy was one of the richest in Asia at the time and our military one of the most powerful. After the Marcos regime, the Aquinos ruled, which was a disaster even worse than the martial law. During Marcos, the worth of a Philippine peso compared to a USD was 1:1 and at the height of the Marcos era, it was 5:1 (with the 5 being the Philippine peso). After Marcos, it dropped down to about 30:1 (the 30 is the USD) and after that, during Ramos and Erap, it dropped to 60:1. Our infrastructure projects after Marcos were halted (including a nuclear power plant). The modernization of our military was nonexistent, and poverty and illiteracy rates were far higher during the Aquinos than during the Marcoses. Our military during after Marcos only received second hand (even defective and broken) equipments. While during Marcos we had brand new land/air/watercrafts and weaponry. It was only during Duterte that we had this much infrastructural and economical progress and growth.

In order to secure a re election he loaned a huge amount of money and during this period to where his crony capitalism is really in its peak. Furthermore these infrustructure projects are propaganda methods by his administration these infrustructure projects hid another fact which is the rising unemployment and inflation in the economy which is odd inflation and unemployment dont go together the vast amounts they got from government i.e shoes and paintings of Imelda kaban ng bayan yon di nila pag mamayari pinamili nila. And why the economy declined after marcos was because of marcos himself the loans and the continuous infrustructure projects to satisfy how the world views the country and hide its problems. Aquino inherited an already declining economy and it was one of the reasons why she let the OFW's there is simply a high unemployment rate in the country. And that declining economy she inherited from marcos was also the reason why the succeeding admins couldn't continue his so call projects there is literally no money and thus government trying to avoid bankruptcy decided to privatize some government works. Even today we privatize example of which is the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) which then is now relgated to maintain power stations in the rural lands of this country and is now replaced by National Grid Corporation (NGCP). Furthermore on the declining economy the 90's Asian economic crisis took a big hit on our country and we only were rising back up again during the 2nd Aquino Administration and now continuous into the Duterte and future administrations In short succeeding governments inherited declining economies and also with increase in population so does the inflation of currency thats basic economics.
