LOL'd

The fucker couldn't even bother with "something something Africa Wagner" and just showed the Western dream map of balkanized Russia as proof of it's colonialism.

Yeah, process that last part, comrades, it gets funnier.

Processing… processing… it certainly gets more fascist ethno-state wet dreamy.

I meant layers of hypocrisy=) Same old same old with them librul "democrats".

This is what colonialist culture & no political education will do to an MFer

[–] Saracha 18 points 1 year ago

Right? Like, I mean there's probably some room for a discussion on Russian and China's actions in geopolitics and to what extent that is a form of imperialism but to straight declare that no other countries are seems like mind rot to the highest degree. Like we're just going to pretend that America doesn't exist at all I suppose? Or that France and Britain don't still have extensive colonial properties and interests? It's a hell of a take.

If the states of America were not united, the world would be a better place.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

It wouldn’t work out great but it would be way more fair than the current system tbh, at least then we would go to war with other US states and not fuck around in Syria and Libya and Taiwan.

I would love to see Texas and California back in Mexico

I keep finding tweets of this man around the internet and by now I think he is genuinely insane.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I assume every single one of his tweets is accompanied by a litany of flags and/or maps? That seems to be his one shtick.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The guy straight up created a NATO fanclub with himself as a leader. It's either grift or something is indeed nor right in his brain

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What happened at 75 that made imperialism cease to exist in his mind 😂

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he went to this article on Wikipedia, saw the year 1975 in the opening paragraph, and stopped there.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Most well researched lib.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's his date of birth and he's hedging his bets. I don't know when colonialism was supposed to end but it was definitely before I was born

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No way this guy isn't being sarcastic 💀

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Sarcastic or no, man definitely has a flag fetish.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

He looks like a mormon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Does he want Austria-Hungary back?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The man who spent money to buy an enamelled NATO flag pin is exhorting the world to balkanize:

Brazil
Russia
India
China

...imagine my shock.

Frankly I'm a tad surprised that he forgot to mention South Africa but I suppose even this dork has at least a tenuous grasp on not going over the top.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

MF thinks it stopped at ‘75

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is great; shows how transparent all these "balkanize State Department enemies" maps are.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

UNITED STATES OF SIBERIA

India and Brazil are next in line if Russia, China and Iran falls apart. Then only one great superpower will remain... the US.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The only power on that list falling apart is the US. Have hope friend.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Just realize that this motherfucker's name is GUNTHER

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

OMG I am living in a colonial superpotence and I didn't know lol

He is just crazy.

On Brasil, first I thought that he was talking about indigenous nations and maybe he had a point, but it seems he's just spreading nosense separatism, since the map doens't have any relation at all with past indigenous nations. Really, I was hoping too much to consider that he was even pretending to give a damn about indigenous people.

Fun-fact about most of these "nations" in other countries: they were independent, at least, some 500 years ago, ten times more than Europe's 50 years pretending to stop being a set of colonial empires.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Seems that the children of colonisers kept the legacy of making up borders with no historical/cultural basis. I'm actually surprised the boundaries on the map aren't straight lines.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like this belongs in srs (shit reactionaries say)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure where it belongs because I don't understand what it is. I sure am enjoying it though!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

This deranged take is so on the nose that you just have to think this guy knows what he is doing and is using this language intentionally. Unfortunately he probably is really just that insane.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

botton right confused the funk out of me, it's Russia and China

[–] Kahlenar 5 points 1 year ago

I want the shittiest take you have... No that's too shitty

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If you're sorry about colonialism than why aren't you advocating for the return of the Koh-i-noor?
