silentsnack posted:nationalism is always wrong because nations do not actually exist nationalism is a myth of origin. at its most simple nationalism is: I am from here. but “here” and “I” are always changing and capitalism is alienating us from ourselves and our origins. so it’s always a broken myth. the romantic reconstruction of the national myth of origin that’s the real fucker incoherent and detached entirely from reality.

Remember when the USA took the entirety of the Philippines by force and held it until 1946 and retained some military bases for another several decades

china claims a hilariously large region as their territorial waters.  malaysia and the philippines obviously take issue with this claim but it's very much a case of "well what are you going to do about it" the US sails a bunch of military ships around in the area whenever they want to show china who's boss there's large fossil fuel reserves under the ocean floor in the area which is why everyone wants it

I'm really surprised the US still isn't a party to that treaty, you'd think that the US would do that at some point considering we keep wanting to enforce it...

What is the upside of doing this, surely they have ham radio at home. there are a bunch of 'entities' that are often nations, but also sometimes broken out into islands. and then there are awards for "spoke to the most countries/entities" They get to go on a weird week long vacation and operate radio using a very rare call sign that all the people they talk to get credit for. It's some pokemon catch-em-all poo poo. Also, they do fundraisers and people pay like a half million dollars to them so they can go on a very expensive vacation for a week. its a hell of a boomergrift

IIRC HW Bush negotiated the bulk of it then it was finalized under Clinton and by the time it came to the Senate for ratification whoever Gingrich's counterpart was in the Senate (Trent Lott?) blew it up because CCCCLINTON?
