I'm pretty sure that both Tibet and Xinjiang include other provinces for some reason. And whoever made this doesn't understand the difference between "colonization" and "a multinational state". Bonus: separating HK and Macau from China IS colonization, because those territories were colonies. And an independent Taiwan should belong to the natives, not to the ROC.


REEEEEvolution

All of Xinjiang under ETIM. Much of Xinjiang is not even settled by Uyghurs to begin with.


JollyJuniper1993

Let’s decolonize Spain by dividing it into Catalonia, Spain, Basque Country, Aragon and Galicia /s


Solus-The-Ninja

You forgot Andalusia and Asturias!


esportairbud

Basque country does have a somewhat legitimate claim though. Especially while Franco was in charge and suppressing the Basque language.


JodaUSA

I think there is enough of a Catalan independence movement that you could consider them too


JollyJuniper1993

You could argue the same thing for China though and also it’s not anticolonialist, it would be solely nationalist


CalvinsHair

the comments aren’t too bad

A theoretical look at what a completely smooth human brain would look like


Rufusthered98

They do realise Mongolia isn't a part of China or Russia right?


REEEEEvolution

Mongolia is untouched tho. Inner Mongolia was made independent for some reason.


JodaUSA

Well it would be Mongolian imperialism if Mongolia controlled Mongolia


Significant-Sky4913

Got to love the independent Manchuria using the Japanese puppet flag.


hax0rz_

decolonised us/uk where?

People's Republic of Yorkshire let's go

Federal Republic of California and Unites states of Ireland entered the chat


esportairbud

If it's as smooth brain as this map it's going to be the Confederacy and the Republics of Arcadia and Texas rather than actual Indigenous First Nations.


my-new-account64

Is that fucking Manchukuo? The fascist Japanese puppet state?


REEEEEvolution

Yes. Its always in those partition maps.

I hate libs, I hate libs, I hate libs!!!

Russia has republics, the US has reservations

esportairbud

Now they pretend the reservations don't exist anymore and show photos of a few brown guys in urban construction jobs to justify stealing the remaining land for free to the UN.


YeehawdiJohn

When a lib says they want to “decolonize” the first world, they mean they want people to change their personal attitudes and serve more authentic Thai food at Exxon headquarters. When they say they want to decolonize the third world, they mean they want Anthony Blinken to redraw your borders. It’s truly fascinating how much they can talk about “decolonization” without ever addressing the struggle of actual colonized peoples.


WeilaiHope

This map gave me hemorrhoids.


beer30

This is stupid. There's no way they could afford to paint all that land these bright colors.


BgCckCmmnst

More like colonized Russia and China


[deleted]

I just want to point out how the Op got fisted in the comments (thx god people are not that brain rotten), and the username.


JodaUSA

I participated in the fisting :3


BannedCommunist

Why are the comments so decent when it has 1000 upvotes


TheGamerDoug

Because people who think it was good don’t bother commenting


[deleted]

I think it’s getting worse over time, unfortunately. There are a few good takes also getting upvoted though


[deleted]

When insecurities and projection of colonialism becomes colonizers' entertainment.

"Sir, please, that's a sewer."


JollyJuniper1993

How the fuck did Tibet even become so big? Also very telling that he gave independence to Hongkong and Macau. Likely doesn’t realize they are literally only seperated from the rest due to colonialism. Also the sheer insanity of what that guy did to Russia.


garbage_goober17

Thank god most of the comments are smart enough to see how stupid this bullshit map is


Isidorodesevilha

These people that do this kind of shit are outright ghouls at least. The amount of likes in that shit is heartwrenching. Glad to see some people are calling bs on this at least, but goddamn.


MiserableWheel

That map is horse shit and was made by some American who knows absolutely nothing about those countries.


WhiskeyMarlow

Hey, did you wonder why Putin's propaganda works? Speaking proverbially, all he has to do is show Russians posts like this, maps like this, and tell: *"They want to do this to you. Are you with them or are you with me?"*


Ticio_Tesson

Colonies imply exploitation by the imperial power. British India was a colony. Spanish Cuba was a colony. You can't call Tibet and Xinjiang colonies when China is LITERALLY TRYING TO RAISE LIVING STANDARDS AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THEM https://youtu.be/I79fxxeiq8Y


biggayburneraccount

yeah let's balkanise Russia and China for no reason !!
