Balkanization of Texas is inevitable even in the minds of chuds.

We tried to contain these people with map-coloring video games and it backfired.

[-] simpletailor@hexbear.net 47 points 1 week ago

Absolutely bizarre and inexplicable. Texas splits, Oklahoma gets subsumed into nearby states, West Virginia takes Pittsburgh, US invades Cuba and la Republica Dominicana but not Haïti, and part of Sicilia? Internationally and domestically incomprehensible.

The Haiti one is racism

Part of Sicily is weird, but there was actually a small movement there during WW2 wanting the whole thing to become a US state.

In Sicily, the Party of Reconstruction was one of several Sicilian nationalist and separatist movements active after the downfall of Italian Fascism. Sicilians felt neglected or underrepresented by the Italian government after the annexation of 1861 that ended the rule of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies based in Naples. It claimed 40,000 members in 1944, and campaigned for Sicily to be admitted as a U.S. state.

If Twitter was around in the 19th century, Manifest Destiny Twitter would have been full of maps like these

there would be memes of crying soyjack natives pointing at a chadjack colonizer and the chadjack colonizer says "happy thanksgiving"

dude it's literally all settlerism what are you gonna do, put the white canadians in camps? you're already the same people. it's already your country.

Is there even a time limit to stay in KKKlanada for the US? Is there any part or privilege of Canada you cannot enjoy as a USian? Are they proposing economic and perhaps actual warfare so that customs is a little more convenient?

The US dollar being what it is means Americans actually have more access to Canadian oil and natural gas.

Healthcare that is only considered good because it's sitting next to the US.

Different flavours of racism

A mashed up mixture of metric and imperial measurements

Everything else is basically just American

Looks like you need a visa if you're staying more than 180 days, and you need a visa to get a job.

I like how after annexing Canada they immediately jerrymander it. And also make 2 Wyomings for some reason. Priorities.

Bold words for a country that has not won a war in almost a century despite starting many

Seriously, all Panama and Canada has to say is "no" and Trump can complain all he wants on twitter or w/e.

[-] Dagadashko@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago

This is so baffling. Like, what benefit could this possibly achieve beyond "map bigger"? And in that case, why stop here? I know that dominion is the point and all, but why in God's name would this be worth the resources? And is this suggesting we immediately make these conquered terrotories into states? My head hurts.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Like, what benefit could this possibly achieve beyond "map bigger"?

According to the article linked in the other thread on this, it mostly seems to be threat display to squeeze concessions out of Panama and Canada. Doesn't explain the Greenland obsession, tho.

How do we get Trump to believe that the Falkland Islands are a critically important asset that rightfully belongs to the US?

stupidest people in the stupidest country on earth like "ugh i wish america had a world-spanning empire based on white supremacy, exploitation, and mass murder! unfortunately my beliefs and desires are too radical for the mainstream political establishment"

[-] moonlake@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

USA doesn't deserve to be a country. It should be split between Canada, Mexico, Cuba and indigenous peoples as a punishment for the horrible crimes it has committed throughout its history. Similar to Germany post-WWII amerikkka

Cuba annexing Florida would be the funniest shit ever

Iceland? The Faroe Islands? The Dominican Republic but not Haiti? I can't even tell what the two topmost cutouts are. Who the fuck is calling for this lmao. This is sub-Gunther tier.

Left is part of Sicily. Right took me forever, but I think it's the city of Bremen?

[-] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

What is the thing next to American Sicily? Also why the fuck do they want American Sicily?

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 week ago

Yeah I think they don’t want Haiti on account of their hitler-detector

I've been sensing some real "Only joking, unless..." energy to this line of posting, though I kind of doubt America has the means to actually annex anything without it being a pyrrhic victory at best.

Genuinely believe a good bit of the madness going on in the world right now stems from the fact that people are solely coming to the realization that colonizing other planets is impossible.

If they fail to achieve this goal, the US is obliged to dissolve, 2 years left for the US to be destroyed.

Also, why the fuck did they conquer the Dominican Republic but not Haiti?

I thought the island on the left was Sicily, and tbf, closing the north of Sicily specifically would be very funny

Like the ruling class would ever want to expend the resources and effort to actually administer additional territories.

[-] penitentkulak@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Not sure why only BC/Alberta/Saskatchewan are split in Canada? Northern Alberta and BC would be chud heaven and Southern Saskatchewan would have a population of like 40,000 people because the border is south of every major city in the province. Funny map 10/10

[-] someone@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

I think it's as simple as the person who made the map having absolutely no clue what demographics are like there.

I can explain some of this

Greenland: The US has tried to purchase the island several times throughout history

Canada: US Americans have desired to take Canada since before independence from Britian. The original Articles of Confederation has a provision allowing Quebec to join the USA. Newfoundland had a small USA annexation movement before it became part of Canada

USA: All of the changes are/were proposed states, some had a real chance of happening (the break up of Texas) and others are just memes (The State of Jefferson in the west coast). Why chuds would want this, I don't know

Cuba: occupied twice by the US in the early 20th century

Dominican Republic: Then known as Santo Domingo, the US tried to annex the country in the 1870s but was shot down by congress

Mexico: Northern Mexico and Baja California were originally intended to be taken as US territory after the 1846 Invasion

Yucatan: White slavers in the briefly existing Republic of Yucatan once asked to become a US state

Nicaragua: On and off occupied and manipulate by the United States throughout history

Panama: Former US colony

Sicily: Occupied by the US in WW2. Post war there was a small sicilian independence movement, which included and even small movement to become a US state

Iceland: The US briefly considered purchasing Iceland after the US Civil War.

Faroe Islands(?): No clue

POB(?): Not sure what this is

South China Sea: Not sure what specific islands this is referring to
