Facepalm

Isn't claiming territory that doesn't belong to you as yours the definition of imperialism?

By this logic, Australia, America, India and a ton of other countries are still part of England.

And Skyrim belongs to the Nords!

Calling it North Korea and not the Democratic People's Republic of Korea?

• USA belongs to Great Britain
• England and France belongs to the Roman empire
• Poland belongs to Prussia

There's no possible way this isn't bait.

The US belongs to the UK. But you can keep the Bible belt, we don't want that bit.

if you don't support imperialism, you're supporting imperialism

But Russia officially belongs to Mongolia

My favorite brand of rage is the kind i feel when someone says a bunch of evil things and then follows it with "if you disagree, youre the evil one"

It's a neat little trick how fascists say things that are the exact opposite of objective reality, and don't see the irony.

Isn't people 'belonging' someone else a definition of slavery?

TIL there are "'correct" .ml communities.

FWIW, the full list of disputed territories is much longer than you think. Basically, every map in existence is also picking sides whether they know it or not; a realization I find chilling.

Within Russia, "imperialism" means "opposition of Russian imperialism", and "fascism" is just used as "opposition of not supporting the Russian government".

POV: you wrote anything anywhere and you don't have hexabear/lemmygrad/lemmyml blocked.

Texas belongs to Mexico

Imagine looking at millions of people living in the relatively prosperous democracy of South Korea and believing that all these people belong as chattel slaves of a monarch who starves his people and throws entire families into concentration camps to die if one member dares to speak out. Every regime supported here is a fascist dictator.

Most Communists I know of are very much pro-Rojava on account of their attempts to build a socialistic society.

Seems like a bait tweet to me.

"If you don't support the rights of these imperialistic fascist regimes to do imperialistic and fascist things then you are an imperialist and a fascist."

Yeah okay. Sure.

Did they provide any justification for the claim? Or is it just the usual "because I said so"?

Tankies gonna tank

huh? isnt china the top imperialist in the list? who gained more land in the last decade? pfff lemmygrads are a special kind of stupid.

There are only wrong .ml communities

is this the hexbear manifestó

I can’t believe they would grandstand like that and leave out “America belongs to the natives”. Pretty weird.

Do they even know what "imperialism" means?

Uh...Russia, China and North Korea are all fascist dictatorships. Tankies wouldn't be nearly as annoying if they had a fucking clue what they were taking about.

Every lemmy.ml community is the wrong community to join.
