Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Missing a few flags here. Let me list em up:

Italy, Germany and Japan if we want to include the era where the UK was imperialistic. If don't want to include those then including the UK/France flags is unfitting.

Otherwise it's also missing the flags of China and Russia

Portugal, Spain, Netherlands. Pretty much everyone else with a technological advantage.

Yup. Imperialism was really popular back then! I just listed those I learned about in history class

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Dutch are happy to be forgotten sometimes

and the Belgians.

When was the last human exhibition again? 1958?

There's a lot of newly found natural resources in southern and eastern Ukraine. It's funny how the same "imperialists" are always the butt of the joke while there's an actual, massive imperialist war of conquest happening right now. E: testing if editing federates this.

Yes, Russia's imperialist war is also bad. But what makes you think that the US and France aren't practicing imperialism too, on a much wider scale?

[–] Ninmi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

What I'm saying is the timing on these memes about past European imperialism make them look absurd with what's happening in Europe right now. All the countries listed in the meme are helping a country fight back an imperialist, expansionist warmongerer.

And their speed demonizing the local population 😈

Don't mind us, just liberating some filthy uncivilised commies
