Add "America belongs to Britan" and watch them get all riled up.

Texas belongs to Mexico!

Louisiana belongs to France!

Na, just picking the one that will get the most reaction. And I have no idea of the location of any tribes

I've interacted with too many tankies that believe exactly these things for me to give Credence to that hypothesis.

You can't do satire by repeating what someone else sincerely believes, verbatim.

It's not tho...

It's twitter and they're either trolling and/or rightwing like everyone else on Twitter.

Like, what would you expect to find on Twitter? Even two years ago when this was tweeted it was just right wingers.

Quick edit:

I mean, lemmy.ml is pretty similar like that, that's why I blocked them on an instance wide level.
