    Most of these numbers seem directly pulled from his or at least someone’s ass. I didn’t realise 1240 was only 360 years ago. But even taking them at their word China has controlled pretty much all of its territory since before the burger reich existed.

    Every part of China in this image that he claims is “not really China” has more age and legitimacy as being part of China than the United States where Noah resides and nationalistically simps for has legitimacy to exist at all.

      Optimistically, most of the comments to this were pointing that out.

      Pessimistically, I looked at twitter comments to learn that.

        Wouldn’t say so, Taiwan’s territorial claims are basically China’s + even more territory as well as the South China Sea. It just adds to the farce of it all.

          Afaik RoC claims the Qing Dynasty territories inherited after the Old Democratic Revolution. Viet Nam and Korea declared independence way before Qing Dynasty rule.

            Yes, that is indeed what I said. Essentially, Taiwan hasn’t been in a position to negotiate any land claims since it hasn’t been in charge. It also can’t and won’t unilaterally let go of any of those claims - either because of the status quo or because they also have assets in the South China Sea.

    “New china” is new by the standards of china. it’s been han, and chinese-speaking, since longer than many european countries have been whatever they think they are (england being “english”, spain being “spanish”, etc.).

    the basis for this whole thing seem to be historic government control rather than culture or ethnicity or history?

    actually someone should make a similar map for europe, it would be funny and make a lot of dorks really angry. the longer somewhere has been controlled by rome or one of its supposed successors, the more “european” it is.

    • Rome, Greece, Istanbul: Old Europe.
    • Levant, Northern Italy, Moscow, Balkans: New Europe.
    • Spain, France, British Isles, Germany, Austria: Sort of Europe
    • Scandinavia, Netherlands, Poland: Not really Europe

    edit: Balkans deserve to be in the category of New Europe, they’re more european than Germany

    edit 2: I’m pooosting

  • Is this guy a troll? If I look at this map I see that China is based and anti imperialistic AF. All stuff they hold seems to be older than the Yankee Reich. That’s quite crazy with how big they are.

    It is cool and sad. The more I learn about China the better it gets, the more I learn about Europe the worse it gets. Yet I am doomed to live in Europe that once again goes down the shitter and I don’t even deserve sympathy, standing on a big ol pile of imperialisms murdered victims.

    Time to seek out local communists for organization. That way I am at least first on the train to the new camps.

      Organizing the way to stop feeling defeated by all the terrible things that happen in the name of imperialism because it allows you to channel your anger into productivity, gives you a sense of purpose and it provides you with comrades who feel the same way as you.

      Results may vary depending on which organization you join and how well it fits your worldview and skillset.

      Yeah, imagine putting countries like America, Canada, and Australia together with this in a chart. I get the feeling it would change the color gradient of the entire image, like a form of white balancing.

    There is something really wrong with this guy. He once posted a strange “white woman who only dates indian men” meme. The orientals are on his mind 24/7.

      Always confuses me when I see that. It would take these guys way less time, effort and energy to just not be a racist shithead, they could actually go and accomplish something with themselves instead of complaining about us-foreign-policy all day. It just seems like a massive waste of time to me, even putting aside how gross and foul these people are.
