But hey...no immigrants. Dumb as hell.

& they wonder why we call them fascists.

This is why.

Real putin Energy that one.

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

I would say Soloviev energy

"the peace president" they said...No war they said.

Putin and other tankies showed the way so why not.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Putin is not a tankie; the dude is a literal billionaire who participated in gutting the USSR. How well did the haute bourgeosie fare under Lenin or Mao?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

Perhaps he wasn't a stalinist around the time of USSR's deflation but he sure is like Stalin reincarnated today. And seeing as we are in lemmy, I need the feel to remind everyone that that is an extremely bad thing to be.

Settler state wants more land to settle

Meanwhile, in reality, they are terrified of letting Puerto Rico become a state because it might threaten their delicate gerrymandered hegemony in Congress by adding two more senators and one or more representatives. This "map" is the fever dream of a lead-poisoned, terminally MAGA moron.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

So, most of them then...

I don’t understand why they automatically assume that PR would go democrat.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 38 minutes ago

Both democrats and republicans believe Latinos owe allegiance to the democrat party.

I'm surprised they didn't just stretch the northern states to consume Canada. Perhaps they are afraid of giga Michigan and it's immense power.

BC is gone 🥺 As are NWT and Nunavut.

No idea what CL/CD (in BC) and MK (NWT) and KW (Nunavut) are supposed to refer to.

How come they want a little chunk of Mexico and all of Nicaragua, but they don't the rest of Mexico?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago

They need somewhere to deport people to obviously/s

[–] [email protected] 30 points 22 hours ago

All this talk of expanding the USA from everyone is.... concerning.

Also this map includes Iceland, northern Sicily and the Faroe Islands. What?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 23 hours ago

Totally not fascist.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I love how even unconsciously they can't take Mexico. I know it's most probably racism, but we still prevail prior to come back.

Canada, Panama and Greenland (Denmark) should not worry. Every single fucking loser MAGAt will have a copy of Cadet Bone Spur's 1968 doctors note excusing them from military service.

Seeing as they mention America's 250th birthday I am going to mention that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. This empire will last less than Liz Truss's term as Prime-Minister.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But also most empires didn't live in the age of instant global communication and endless propaganda power and surveillance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, I am sure all existing empires will now last until the end of time.

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

I hope not. But they’re definitely gonna be a lot harder to take down.

Mexican here. Those are the states unpleasant accents so I'm on board with this plan.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

IS THAT SICILY!? Please maga cunts do try to go there. Sicilian people are ready to luigid you out this world, do you remember that pussy baby mike lynch?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is how it begins. You keep calling territory that isn't yours your territory until it sounds normal to those that you have created a cult or pact with. Then it doesn't seem so abnormal when you decide it is yours.

People who voted Trump in are actually fucking stupid.

I know that End Wokeness is just jack posobiec, but im curious where this map even came from. It reeks of the same energy as that "Decolonized Europe" Map that Russian imperialists post, where every euro country has been balkanized *except for the Slavic brothers Serbia and Russia, who have both grown considerably larger)

they've both got that Nazi Ick

Its a mixture of multiple things, some are historic american expansion ideas such as Cuba, Canada, Northern Mexico, and the Yucatan while others are colonies Philippines or historically occupied regions Iceland, Faroe islands, and Sicily. Also some states are split up for some fucking reason. I dont know what the fuck is going on with Nicaragua and why it only maps out the Dominican republic side of Hispaniola.

Edit: I just remembered that some Americans at one point tried conquering Nicaragua to recreate the Federal Republic of Central America. So that explains that.

Wait, why did they make Texas five states?

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

Gerrymandering

They also divided California, but added Baha California to the southern end.

I'm a big fan of Cascadia. This map is just imperialist madness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Lol why not the rest of Mexico and Haiti as well?
