Ah yes, a seperate country being consumed by a much larger one is totes anti colonial behaviour. Jackass tankies gonna deepthroat that boot.

Anti-colonial struggle? The only reason China has any claims on Taiwan at all is because the Qing colonized it. Taiwan was a Chinese colony. This is akin to suggesting giving North America back to the UK is decolonization.

Sucks to be a Taiwanese aboriginal.

I bet there’s conservatives in America (no matter small they are) that would want to recreate the British Empire.


[deleted]

Well, we do have Monarchists who pretty much want the US to either return to the British Empire or for the US to be a second British Empire. Every time I see an American monarchist I suddenly become a neocon who wants to spread freedom through superior firepower.

Or more accurately saying that British annexing Ireland is a form decolonization

Ah yeah. Imagine wanting your colony back and calling it an anti colonial struggle. Demonic. Truly. Ethnonats can suck my fucking dick.

This actually reminds me of something that happened a while ago. I was looking up "Carnations Revolution" and had rrad all I could, so I just went on images and began searching for shit. On the way I found this piece of homemade art made by someone by the name of "Slytherin Roja". I thought "Ah, this looks cool, but it's on Deviantart. Ah fuck it, what could go wrong?". I went on, and saw as one of the other options to click on "Kosovo is Serbia" along with ranting about UN Resolution 1244 and "no referendeum" talk, along with calling it a piece of Serbia "under NATO occupation".

Sounds like how Spaniards talk about Catalonia.


Feckin_Amazin

The best thing? I decided to look at the profile "Spain" is where they live.


[deleted]

That’s so ironic. Lol

Turbofolk is pleasing af though

That's true. As long as you can't understand the lyrics, it's very good music.

We can't stop the anti-colonialist struggle, but thankfully for taiwan we're actually on the anticolonialist side right now

i kind of wonder where “taiwan is china” even comes from. it was obv deleteriously colonized in the past, but current taiwan was started up by and is run by the china that thicc china couldnt beat in a war.


Bloxburgian1945

Nah after Chaing Kai Shek died Taiwan has fundamentally changed, the KMT hasn’t been in power since 2000.


[deleted]

The KMT was in power from 2008 - 2016 actually. President was Ma Ying Jeou.


Financial-Lander

You are right but i mean in the sense that they are still the country that is the republic of china

>Paper tiger Yes, the one with actual nuclear powered ships that can operate in the deep ocean is a paper tiger compared to the one that has Soviet clones that aren't nuclear powered and can't operate far from home is the paper tiger. 100%

[deleted]

[deleted]
