Real putin Energy that one.
I would say Soloviev energy
& they wonder why we call them fascists.
This is why.
"the peace president" they said...No war they said.
"We will be welcomed as liberators."
GW Bush Admin
Putin and other tankies showed the way so why not.
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?
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.
I've had multiple conversations with people here on Lemmy who seem to be under the impression that Stalin was a great dude who really just wanted to best for everyone, freedom and riches!
This is the point where you're an extremist without knowing that you're an extremist
Being an extremist means having any more nuanced view than "stalin just loved doing evil things for absolutely no reason"
Stalin was a communist revolutionary who played an integral role in the creation of the USSR. Putin is a liberal counterrevolutionary, who is partly responsible for hypercapitalist modern Russia, the two are not comparable at all.
If by "he sure is like stalin", you mean he employs violence to maintain and consolidate power, that's every state ever, that's kinda how states work.
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.
So, most of them then...
I don’t understand why they automatically assume that PR would go democrat.
Both democrats and republicans believe Latinos owe allegiance to the democrat party.
I don’t know if owe is the right word, but yeah, both parties assume they’ll go democrat and I think that’s a smug assumption typical of the elites. Granted trump was a dick to PR during hurricane Maria, but if he actually responded appropriately he’d likely have a lot more support than either party would realize. I think they should either be a state or gain full independence, this in between seems unfair to them. (And I feel that way about all of Americas territories subject to taxation without representation)
All this talk of expanding the USA from everyone is.... concerning.
Also this map includes Iceland, northern Sicily and the Faroe Islands. What?
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?
They need somewhere to deport people to obviously/s
Totally not fascist.
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.
Yeah. This empire will last less than Liz Truss's term as Prime-Minister.
But also most empires didn't live in the age of instant global communication and endless propaganda power and surveillance.

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.

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

Legitimately what is wrong with these people?
They want a fascist leader and to invade their neighbours?
They know how that historically ends right?
Like the "you won't let me say a slur so I'm gonna be a nazi" thing was kinda supposed to be an overly reductive meme, but this guy's just out there living it.
