USA: ICE Mexico.

for anyone wondering if this actually happened, it did. (in 2019)

I was just thinking posters should include the dates for the Trump posts.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And given the age of absurdity and stupidity we live in, they should also include a "certified not fake and not satire".

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It really is frustrating how hard it can be sometimes to tell the difference. Nothing sounds too ridiculous anymore.

Back when Drinky Pete was just an alcoholic fascist stooge and not Secretary of 🙄 “War” . . and also an alcoholic fascist stooge.

The best part of this was how none of the "three Mexican countries" were Mexico.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Sad Agustín de Iturbide noises

As a Latin American I find this deeply offensive and would like to clarify to people that when you talk like that... you make a woman go mad... So be wise (Sí!) and keep on (Sí!) Reading the signs of my body.

The US education system has been hollowed out for decades now with the single goal of being able to put fascists into power. Only with a dumb population can you pull off such horrendous shit and still get away with a dumb excuse

The good thing about this is that there is so much incompetence going around that these fuckers will eventually break their new system by themselves.

To make a trump like expression that is actually true; The US economy is already a bubble the size like nobody has seen before. I for one can't wait for that economy to pop, maybe then Americans can be bothered to do something about trump

It's so small and lacks many features of the original, it's like the Wish version of Mexico.

Whoever made this picture doesn't know about Fishing Mexico, and I'm disappointed by that.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I laughed when I saw "Soccer Mexico".

It's called football. Let's do the math.

Foot + ball = football

Rugby + kicking = footrugby.

Don't @ me.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

Rugby + kicking = Australian rules football

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Soccer is a British shortening of 'association football.' Aka association rules football.

In the 1860-90s, one of several competing games / variants of the same gsme all called football including rugby, then called rugby football (rugby being the name of the town/ school that game was popularized in)

American and canadian football are variants off of this version of 'rugby football,' Eventually dropping the name rugby (as they no longer had much association to that locale) british rugby, and its other variants, eventually dropped the football from their name.

Technically though, for the game we generally think of as football, association rules football, (which again, soccer is just a shortening of) is the proper name. For instance, If you look up fifa, their name is Fédération Internationale de Football Association literally the international association football federation.

And there are still other similar games that use football in the term, including american/ gridiron, Australian rules/ footy, and Gaelic football

Just calling it football is technically using a term for all of those sports. Association football, or 'soccer' is the actual sport and rules we all mean.

“Archipelago” is kind of a big word for their typical viewer, huh?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Arch-i-pelago.

Isn’t that the doorway into Mar-a-lago?

[–] RamSwamson@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, the area you get pegged by an Archie lookalike.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Literally where can I sign up

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I know Arch-ipelago, BTW.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 3 days ago

Get them to pronounce it.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Last time I checked Argentina was wold cup champion and Brazil got humiliated by Germany 7:1. So it's Soccer Mexico and Samba Mexico.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh come on, give them a break. Brazil still has the most world cup wins under their belt, Argentina doesn't even make the top 3

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Germany didn't give them a break at 6:0 and neither will I.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

Germany definetly slowed down after the 5:0, the rest was training

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Don't these scores just mean that one country had better luck in the international player trafficking market that year?

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 4 points 3 days ago

Poor brazil. They have gone up against germany since then, and definitely cleared away the poor results from that one match.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

It's hard for racists to differentiate people with brown skin. They just all come from Brownskinistan.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Wait... Are we going back to call it the Gulf of Mexico?

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

I LOLed at "Soccer Mexico"

It's funny how Brazil is just ingrained in my subconsciousness as "The Soccer Country" along with like Spain I think

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago

It's like those people who call all sodas "Coke."

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is still far too generous - it assumes that they:

  • Know where the Falklands are (and they they are British)
  • Know where Brazil is
  • Know where actual Mexico is
  • Can spell "archipelago"
  • Wouldn't call Chile "helicopter Mexico"
[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Malvinas son de Argentina!

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just because Argentina landed there 500 years ago doesn't mean it's theirs

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Lol. Exactly.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Somewhere in "poor mexico" there is a bit of european rocket mexico 🚀

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Referring to the Mexican states?

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

My head was having trouble not correcting it to 'mexican counties'

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Goddamnit we're so fucking stupid.

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Meat Mexico’s gonna be pissed when they find out their arch-rivals got Soccer Mexico

[–] lillardfair@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Soccer Mexico's endless meat buffets would also like a word

¡Cabrones!

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

I’d go with Tex-Mexico myself

Can anyone pick out what Ecuador is in this map? The compression is keeping me from deciphering it. The rest are pretty funny.
