there is a decent number of people from latam in here so i would say 95%
The amount of "I'm not owned, I'm not owned" in this thread is fucking hilarious
Imagine corncobbing over a shitpost on chapo dot chat
It's really funny how serious people are taking a fucking map meme :agony-turbo:
My favorites are the people having a reddit moment over this and complaining about Chinese exchange students
Just like with almost any country in the global south, the people that can afford to be "exchange students" are in no way representative of what the majority of the population believes or thinks. They are the 1% or the bourgeois essentially
Say it louder for the people in the back, please, since apparently that's not common knowledge around here for some reason lol
Yeah the criteria are kinda weird...
EDIT: Oooh I just realized that this picture was supposed to be showing something else and the "cringe zone" thing was added afterwards... That explains it lol
It still says it there, something like how 73% of the world's income is concentrated in the populations of those territories.
Is it supposed to be the highest income countries that are in the green? Because there's definitely some countries that aren't in the green, and which have a higher income per capita than some of the ones that are in the green (the UAE comes to mind).
Yes
Keep in mind this isn't necessarily a "white imperialists bad" thing, after all it includes Japan, South Korea, Israel, Greece, and Italy.
Now I'm even more confused, are you implying Greeks and Italians aren't white?
The sheer amount of olive oil exuded from their pores precludes the possibility
That graphic was created in 2009 by TDArchitects and is about border zones/walls used to maintain global wealth inequality.

Because they have to migrate to the UK By the millions for work?
Doesn't matter how fascist you are, it's simply about power levels, a homeless fascist is not as dangerous as a rich fascist
Hell yeah, can't get a word in around here with all those... checks map ... Poles.
Poles
Poles are the hardest cringe zoners in all of the cringe zone.
After they "escaped Soviet dictatorship" their nationalists rewrote history and told the world how "the USSR and Nazi Germany jointly invaded Poland and that's how World War 2 started".
All the while forgetting to mention that the land the USSR marched up to was Belarussian, Lithuanian (they even stole the capital of Lithuania) and Ukrainian until Poland invaded the USSR in 1920 and stole loads of Soviet territory then enacted a policy of apartheid to "polonise the areas" against the Belarussians, Ukrainians and Lithuanians by treating them like 2nd class citizens, banning their languages and generally treating them like shit
Despite the obvious contradiction in what the nationalist Polish say (and the rest of the cringe zone regarding the USSR invasion of Poland) - would they rather Hitler have marched up Russias borders and gained the entire territory of Poland to enslave and work in death camps?
Conveniently forgetting also they were a fascist dictatorship under Pilzudski and if you took Nazi Germany off the map in the interwar period Poland would've been the most anti-Semitic country on the planet.
Also forgetting that they partook in the carving up of Czeochoslovakia and stole a piece of Czechoslovakia back when USSR was trying to organise collective security against Nazi Germany. (Hint: France, UK and Poland sabotaged collective security because they hated communists and were hoping Hitler would stick to his Meincampf promise to invade the USSR for the Ukraine and Lebensraum)
And now Poland, having worked so hard for their victim status to finally, finally get into the cringe zone and what have they achieved?
Their i ndustries were annexed by the West to be rinsed as a pool of cheap labour (there's no industry now so they're forced to leave), they signed a humiliating surrender agreement with the US which makes them more of a vassal state than the Soviet agreement ever did, they got rid of the much vaunted "democracy" they were apparently lusting after in the West (as we were told and not just the riches), declared themselves LGBT free zones and to sum it off they've revived their pre WW2 Anti-Semitic traditions of having effigies of jews beaten with sticks by their children in the streets
If there's a country that has worked as hard as Poland to deserve it's place in the Cringe Zone more let me know
Na there are some good Poles. It's just a shame Cringe Zone Poland outlawed communism so they're on trial
Who u think is calling the shots, making the map, and telling you to shut the fuck up?
Only cos Greeks have the best Communist party (not in power) and you lot know how to burn a Yankee flag
I mean Italy and a few other Southern European states ain’t that far behind
Compared to Greece, I think Italy and Spain are definitely doing better, but Portugal is on about the same footing.
After what you did to those poor Syrian refugees, no way buster, you're staying on the list
After the Euro-Crisis yes.
When the imf is telling the eu not to go so hard you know its bad.
Greece obviously isn't in NAFTA but the whole EU+NATO thing (maybe you are confusing NATO with NAFTA?) plus our alliances and a bunch of other stuff does kinda put us in the imperial core.
Maoist third worldist takeover.
Tankie anti-imperialism taken to it’s logical conclusions.
It’s the international ruling class that is the enemy. And always has been.
You mad, truth hurts, we're doing based regionalism now baby FUCK YEAH 😎
like not on the map but i do live on the cringe south american country
Then stop simping for the cringe zoners, you ain't getting no pat on the head
oh i meant it would be nice if they stopped talking as if i would defend fucking anglos out of all people
