The UN has voted 123-3 in favour to condemn the enslavement of Africans and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Something, something, same map. (lemmy.ml)

Everything I don’t like is tankie.

It is neither our whole thing nor is it wholly our thing. Again, the vote was 123 to 3, with abstentions mostly from imperial core / “always the same map” states. They’re the states that benefited from classical imperialism and are still benefiting from neo-imperialism.
