On the one hand it's funny how the US still has virtual colonies, but on the other:



it's considerably more comfortable than being an independent pacific nation.

So if I go to England and start sitting on an uninhabited mountain, it belongs to me? It can't possibly belong to any European country, given that they don't have people living on it.

Peggotty posted:

Good thing the Europeans are in the clear because they started colonialism before there were nation states then. Phew!

Peggotty posted:

Of course. The Falklands are pretty much the least bad form of colonialism the British did. But that doesn't mean that white people should be allowed to go somewhere and claim land on the southern hemisphere because they think the world istheirs to divide up.

No, my argument is that white European settlers shouldn't conquer land in the global south no matter who or what is already on it. Antarctica doesn't belong to white settlers either.

Who cares about stupid nerd poo poo like justice or rightful claims, return las islas malvinas to Argentina because it would make the English hopping mad

I hate all English people, and the United Kingdom, I have no problems with the idea of kicking all the Falkland Islanders off the islands, and don't care about what they want one single bit. Any position even slightly less extreme makes you one of these horrible people:

Spain was invaded (among many others) by the goths.

Today people from the canary islands call the iberian people "goths".[1]

The canary island was at some time invaded by spain, and you can quite see the cracks are still visible. Under the dictatorship of fascist Franco, their language was banned (Guanche), and until recently it was against the law to give your childrens Guanche names.

What is the methedology anyway? The only thing I can guess is they took primary votes and split them or something? And the SPD areas were where Bernie got more votes than Biden?

The picture is part of the "Disaster of the war" showing the atrocities that the french comited when they invaded spain. Mass shooting of civilians. Hanging bodies with severed parts from trees. Soldiers raping womans.

I think the category names were applied afterwards by the mapmaker, and rather sloppily. Looking at the list of terms that represent that category, it seems to be a grouping for songs that praise God and/or a Monarch. For some reason, the AI made that one cluster.

I was going to say I was disappointed that New England seemed to include all of New England, but on closer look they grouped cape cod with Long Island which is just perfect.

When you find the context of the previous three posts make sure to write coordinates for anyone this bad at reading and that quick to make a searing gotcha.

Although the nature of self-reporting makes me wonder about whether some of the less-black nations might also be just more heavily stigmatized against blacks.

Some great names tho, my favorite nyc bridge crosses the Hell Gate and is cleverly named the Hell Gate Bridge

RoastBeef posted:

In New York, the George Washington bridge crosses the Hudson/North River, likewise the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. The Tapanzee crosses it upstate and the Verazanno at the mouth of the harbor. The Brooklyn, Manhattan, and whitestone bridges cross the east river. The tribourough bridge crosses ... Something. The north and east river tunnels do go under the north and east rivers, but no one ever accused the Pennsylvania Railroad of creativity
