By another country overseas, yes permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (2 children) So your argument is the geographical boundaries mean when a country is split it is imperialism to unite it again? Imagine if the confederacy retreated to the keys islands, that's sort of the level of ridiculous here. The right wing losers of a civil war retreated to an island that was and is considered part of the country. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I would go even further. If a country exists and everybody has a national identity, all happy citizens. Then one region decides to become separatist. If the rest of the country doesn't let them separate, I would qualify that as imperialism as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago Have you read anything on what imperialism actually is?
