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.
USA belongs to GB, Vietnam belongs to France… 🤷♂️
I refuse to believe this isn’t satire
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.
Add “America belongs to Britan” and watch them get all riled up.
Texas belongs to Mexico!
Louisiana belongs to France!
Britain? So it’s whoever stole it first?
Na, just picking the one that will get the most reaction. And I have no idea of the location of any tribes
Russia belongs to Mongolia
Redditors struggling to understand words citing a red-brown alliance stan lmao. They have no idea where to even start thinking about this so they just fixate on the word, “tankie” and the contradiction of Imperialist narratives and successfully leave the cognitive dissonance behind.
Both the division of Korea and establishment of Taiwan are examples of the US carving out its own occupied zones to encircle China and the then-USSR, preventing internal fighting - literal civil wars - from resolving on its own terms.
Imagine if Spain popped in to prevent the end of the US civil war by militarily supporting Florida as the confederacy and then 70 years later everyone says, “yeah how dare America claim Florida! Confederate pride!” due to decades of Spanish propaganda. All the while, the main confederate legacy party still claims the entire continental US and Canada as their rightful territory and liberals call anyone that disagrees a yankie (epithet) and gets boosted in social media.
You okay, wanker?
