Only decent country in Europe change my mind.
Soon: BBC banned in Ireland
My fellow Irishmen, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw TERF Island forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.
FINALLY some good fucking news somewhere in the world for our trans comrades! This is awesome to see!
Only decent country in Europe change my mind.
I won’t you’re right. They were also the only country in Europe to get colonized. Interesting relationship there :soviet-hmm:
I think it’s more that Ireland is still currently colonized. Cyprus, Finland, Netherlands, and Norway have also been colonies
the netherlands were never a colony. unless you count the dutch colonizing the innocent alluvial marshes :theory-gary:
I was thinking of when the Netherlands were Spanish. What would that be considered?
Calling Norway a colony is a bit too much in my opinion. It was more of a dynastic bullshit situation where the king who only cared about you if he wanted you to pay taxes or be a soldier spoke a different dialect than you did yourself. The Danes and the Swedes were not angels but I don’t think they engineered famines or tried to eradicate Norwegian culture and Norwegians were not seen as being inferior to Danes or Swedes.
Iceland and the Faroe Islands are better candidates for European victims of imperialism but even there there was not the racist component that you found in Ireland.
Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) is definitely a victim of still ongoing imperialism but I don’t know if they count as European.
:soypoint-1:: “Uh oh! Looks like Ireland has gone authoritarian!”
