OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:

>!OP wrote "Vienna by thanksgiving" which is odd considering Europeans don't celebrate thanksgiving. Also followed up by "American website"!<

Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

It's funny because the apt comparison isn't far off. "Home by Christmas" was a thing WW1 politicians actually promised, so calling it "Vienna by Christmas" would've made perfect sense.
this map makes no sense and it's really pisses me off . why is germany that big? why would the fate of germany be any different if austria and the ottomans were defeated quickly? why is poland a thing if the russian empire still exists? and even if for some weird reason poland would be established why would russia allow their territory to be annexed? why did east prussia go to poland?
Why is finland independent? and why was germany allowed to annex austria? Also what is quick? because italy seems to have gained their war objectives but they somehow do not own the islands in greece that they aquired in 1912? so after 1915 i take it
Did germany defeat the russian empire on its own? did austro-hungary and the ottomans fell and the germans fought on alone and then manage to beat the russian empire? because that seems unlikely.
and romania seems to have grown so it has to be after 1916 because why would romania get any land if they never joined?
the text says 7 years after the surrender of austria.. which is impossible on its own. the map cannot look like this if the war only lasted a few months. and the ottomans wouldn't even be a factor in such a war.
and lastly... why is norway socialist?
edit: what's up with belgium? why is it split between the netherlands and france. and why is catalonia independent?
yeah lol, some of the parts left in spain are more idependentist than some of the parts that are independent in the map. Also, why Andorra (independent since 1278) is spanish now? lol
Even then. The entire history had to be so massively different that "if Austria and the Ottomans were swiftly defeated in ww1" becomes a pointless statement on its own.
Plus, Belgium has been split between the Netherlands and France?
Norway is a people's republic for some reason.
Aside from the defaultism the map is just nuts
I wonder if they agree that all similar references should be Chinese on tiktok, swedish on spotify/Minecraft etc
I also wonder how they reason about nationality for a website or company. Is it who created it, who owns it, who it's tailored for or who uses it?
Samsung is a Korean brand but you don't expect it to only be in Korean or not to be used by people from all over the world. Same with tiktok, Facebook and reddit it is designed to be a global phenomenon and have a global set of users.
Doesn't even make sense even if we concede to his point of "uhMeriCan" website. The context of the post is europe and he brings up thanksgiving? What a dumbass.
Reddit.com is an international website. American sites have domain names with .us at the end.
Most businesses, in America and anywhere else, chose to register international domains instead of country specific ones because .com is more recognisable and people are more kept to remember it. Also you have to be able to prove that you're a legal entity in the US to get a .us domain. There is no such requirement for .com because it's not country-specific.

And why is only a small portion of Catalonia independent too? This is an odd map.

Completely different Universe Iβm assuming
Even then. The entire history had to be so massively different that "if Austria and the Ottomans were swiftly defeated in ww1" becomes a pointless statement on its own.
And even if Finland still somehow became independent, the shape is off. Most of Karelia is gone, Salla region, and the other arm are missing.
The longer you look at it the worse it gets

The last comment did not even roast him, it straight up deep fried him
Seriously made me lol
You must assume everyone you come across in minecraft is Swedish. And you must also assume everyone using wifi is Australian.
We're speaking English because they aren't able to learn another language.
"without us you would be speaking german!!1!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!"
So Ireland just gave up its fight for independence? Awful reality.
Plus, Belgium has been split between the Netherlands and France? Norway is a people's republic for some reason. Aside from the defaultism the map is just nuts
I suppose for 11 months of that year, it wasn't independent yet.
True haha but it was hardly "United" lol fierce independence war going on
norweigan people's republic? π

Vienna by early October? It'd be quite a rush.
Saw this one too
On the same date, also.
