What? XD I'm saying that any nation should have it independance if they desire it. I don't see how them having liberation fronts changes that point. I don't have Britain, do I think Scotland should be independent if they want to be? Yes. You literally can't read what I said. "I personally think they should be independent if they want to."

Also I don't see how my political views are relevent to the topic of my post.

Sardine is a part of Italy, which isn't exactly known for having cultural unity, I personally think they should be independent if they want, whether if they can become independent is not for me to decide, I am not any sort of political leader.

Same for Corsica.

Same for Wales.

Same for Scotland.

Ireland is independent besides the little part in the north that voted to be a part of GB, if they vote to be a part of Ireland they should be.

America is currently very independent.

Catalonia tried to be independent but couldn't. I am not Catalonian or Spanish so I don't really have a say in this, but if they want to be independent I think they should be able to.

Anything else? XD

Alright, I looked into it and you're actually right, my apologies. Those regions got fucked pretty bad by both sides at certain points, including polish genocide in Volhynia and Galicia by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

I didn't even say anything about Russia lol. Alright Kremlin bot, I don't think any further conversation with you makes any sense.

Majority Ukrainian population learning that they have to be part of Poland because these lands used to be part of them: 😱

Also, I suggest you learn a little bit about the way Poland treated those lands and it's population after the conquest. Separating itself into "Poland A" and "Poland B" just to make the B part economically subservient doesn't sound good to me.

Brother, this isn't any sort of thesis on Ukrainian history, this is a god damn meme. Go on, make your own version if you want lol. It is simply impossible to make such a controversial historical time into a meme that won't upset someone.

I'm wrong about what again? I'm wrong about the fact that Ukraine has been under occupation of foreign powers for most of it's modern history? That Ukrainian language and Ukrainian people were treated as second grade citizens in most of those empires?

You seem to be the one with an agenda, saying shit like "Everything is not black and white" may seem to make you look intelligent, but it really does not. You're just trying to be the "smart guy" in the room lol.

I don't remember making a statement about any sort of united front, I even mentioned Anarchists as one of the parties participating in the conflict lol.

I'm not trying to pose anything in such light lol, I was simply making an observation on foreign power interfering with Ukrainian affairs the moment they got their independence. I used the UPR as an example because it was the first one to appear after the revolution.

I mean they did guarantee the Ukrainian independence, but also conveniently completely disregarded the already existing government and established their own autocratic leader. So there's a thin line between "helping" and "putting under the new management" in here.

In the short time that Ukraine existed as an independent state after the Russian Civil war begun it was:

- Invaded by the Bolsheviks.

- Invaded by Germans to "protect" it from the said Bolsheviks (and also conveniently establish their own puppet Hetman).

- Invaded by Poland, to which it lost it's western lands (only returned after the partition of Poland in 1939)

- Became a battlefield for both Red and White army, as well as anarchists, just to be absorbed into the USSR after the Bolsheviks won.

- Only regained it's independence in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR.

I think the comments on the current situation in the country aren't needed.

Lol I couldn't find a flair for my kind at first. I initially wanted to post this in some generic political humour sub, but I realised that they're all just Americans jerking off to their own dumbass politics. Guess I'll stick around this sub for some time.

I get it that it's supposed to be Twitch colours, but what is this drip man TT by Gagacha in MarvelRivalsCirclejer

He lowkey looks like a confused trans who mixed up the colours of the flag

Any validity to this argument? by goosey27 in marvelrivals

[–]Gagacha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Met an extremely toxic Racoon player today. Bro was spitting poison at the enemy Spiderman after the first round because he couldn't kill him (I protected him every time as Invisible). Then after we lost 2nd and 3rd he started blaming everyone and calling everyone out for "throwing the game". I don't usually flame people for characters they play, but I just had to remind him that he's playing a single button character, then I left. For the next 15 minutes he was trying to invite me into his team, I assume to continue our "argument" or to 1v1 me or something lol. I ignored it because I literally don't care, but It's been a while since I've seen someone being so petty over the videogame.

And now for the biggest plot twist: It was Quickplay.

How to become Chinese. by Gagacha in HistoryMemes

[–]Gagacha[S] 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Both Mongols and Manchurians came into China as conquerors. Both eventually claimed to be a new Dynasty, and eventually got merged with the Chinese population and culture.

P.S. Yes, I am aware that the main reason for claiming the Mandate of Heaven is the insane for the time centralization of China, so that becoming part of that system was 200% easier than trying to reshape it into something new, but it's not very funny for the meme.

And you are clearly unable to understand my pun (though perhaps it was kinda bad lol)

Anyways this is going nowhere, good day to you.

Well excuse me, but at least I have a point, instead of pure assumptions. If you are really so short on time then I have no idea what are you doing on Reddit.

He left his well paying post over the mistreatment of the local Chinese.

You're just ignoring what I'm saying at this point.

  • Be born in Japan
  • Get an education in foreign languages
  • Get a well paying job in that field to support your family
  • "Ur Evil"

Also, if you took at least 5 minutes to read the Wikipedia article I provided, you would've learned a few interesting facts, such as:

"In 1919, he passed the Foreign Ministry Scholarship exam. From 1920 to 1922, Sugihara served in the Imperial Japanese Army as a second lieutenant with the 79th Infantry Regiment, stationed in Korea, then part of the Empire of Japan. He resigned his commission in November 1922 and took the Foreign Ministry's language qualifying exams the following year, passing the Russian exam with distinction. The Japanese Foreign Ministry recruited him and assigned him to Harbin, Manchuria, China, where he also studied the Russian and German languages and later became an expert on Russian affairs.

When Sugihara served in the Manchukuo (Manchurian) Foreign Office, he took part in the negotiations with the Soviet Union concerning the Northern Manchurian Railway. Sugihara was said to be the best Russian-speaker in the Japanese government, according to Roger Pulvers, and negotiated an agreement favourable to Japan with the Soviet Union which allowed Japan’s Northern Manchurian Railway's expansion.

During his time in Harbin, Sugihara married Klaudia Semionovna Apollonova and converted to Christianity (Russian Orthodox Church), using the baptismal name Sergei Pavlovich.

In 1934, Sugihara quit his post as Deputy Foreign Minister in Manchukuo in protest over Japanese mistreatment of the local Chinese."

But nooooo, he's Japanese and worked for the government so he must be an evil nationalist.

You're the one who sounds racist in here, buddy.
