If Northern Ireland decided to reunite with the rest of Ireland it would solve so many problems... good luck trying to convince the Northern Irish of that.

The ENGLISH are the occupiers. Scotland and Wales are also occupied.

The other day I was thinking about tensions that exist in part because of British-drawn borders. Israel-Palestina, India-Pakistan. Can't believe I forgot NI.

I love this logic.

If we follow it, then nobody should have stood up to Hitler, because it would mean allying with the racist US and imperial Britain.

Because when other countries "stood up" to Hitler it was for moral reasons 🤡

LMFAO this is what happens when you get "education" under a western regime. The racist US and imperial Britain were completely and utterly irrelevant to defeating Hitler. In fact, what they actually accomplished was to ensure that the horrors of capitalism would continue to this day. With the US, it would have been USSR that liberated all of Europe from both the nazis and capitalist oppression.

Don't take my word for it though. Here's what a book produced by US military has to say on the subject.

This. The Russians did all the work and the US and UK come and take the credit

As it happens you don't actually have to be a social chauvinist for the country in which you reside.

They talk shit on every country as if they live in a utopia which is genuinely hilarious

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

I want to know who thinks we live in a utopia.

Don't forget the Falklands.

Never heard of them. Maybe you mean the Malvinas.
