How is it morally justifiable to invade an island +1000 miles from your own country (and, oh snap, so close to Argentina), illegally sink a ship during a war, populate the islands with British settlers, and then call that “self-determination”? The colonial mindset is amazing
kb@ojvhteuhyhes

little bit funny that the falklands is genuinely one of only geopolitical situations where the uk is on the morally correct side (to the point where it feels like a made up hypothetical scenario) and yet argentina have made opposing it a key part of their national identity lol

Like how can their national identity be so linked to a small island on the other side of the world with a population of 1500?

The Falklands question is so weird. You’re liable to be lynched by the English en masse if you even suggest that it’s silly for them to be so ravenous about defending their colonisation of the territory.

@lulolulo Argentinians advocate aggressive illegal expansionism and annexation but the other side are the imperialists? You people live in an alternate reality.

Vivo en UK, hasta este momento todo el mundo fue amoroso y abierto conmigo. Perder les voló la fina capa de globalización que tapaba su imperialismo y ahora me dicen en la cara que somos malos ganadores por poner la bandera de Malvinas,me y que ojalá nos baneen del mundial.

@JohnWight1 Every population outside Africa is ‘artificially imposed’ by Homo sapiens. Your argument might have merit if a native peoples had been displaced or subjugated. They weren’t. Next argument?

The Falkland Islanders constitute an artificially imposed population. You can't place a cactus in the North Pole then make the argument that it belongs there. It doesn't make any sense.
Pseudonym@PhilRob97633615

@JohnWight1 Colonialism is the subjugation of a native population by a foreign power. If the native population of the Falkland Islands wish to remain British, then the colonial act would be Argentina taking control of the islands, particularly so if they took them by force.

I have always believed Las Malvinas should be given back to Argentina. I even remember getting into a physical fight when I was at primary school with another kid about this issue. I told him that Maggie Thatcher only got involved in the war to get votes and save her premiership. That was just something I heard on TV and I repeated it, but it was true. It's just a question of justice really. We do not live in colonial times anymore, it's just wrong to have a colony 8,000 miles away and stick settlers on it. And give back Gibraltar while you're at it!

After the England vs Argentina game, the Argentinian players held a banner: "The Falkland Islands are Argentinian." They don’t want Britain owning an island near Argentina. Just like Britain wouldn’t like Argentina owning the Isle of Wight

No, it doesn't work like that, countries can't occupy a territory, put people on it and then ask the people to claim their nationality, it doesn't work for Putin, it shouldn't work for England
Bearded Chris@BeardedChr19081

@narindertweets The Falklands was uninhabited when we settled. Argentina didn’t exist for another 100 years. The rights of the indigenous population to decide their sovereignty is paramount & they decided to remain a British sovereign nation.

Okay, this might stir up a hornet’s nest… At first, I thought Scotland’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 habit of cheering for whoever England plays - even Argentina - was just banter. But now I’m not so sure. It feels like it runs much deeper. What I find truly intriguing is how some Scottish nationalists blame English identity (and often the English people collectively) for British colonialism, while painting Scotland as its very first victim. Yet many Scots were enthusiastic participants in the empire, often serving as key figures in its ruling elite. After the 1707 Union, Scotland’s educated middle class, military tradition, and economic pressures pushed many talented Scots into imperial service. They excelled in law, engineering, medicine, and administration. Scots comprised roughly one-third of colonial governors-general in the later Victorian/Edwardian era. They were disproportionately represented in colonial governance, the military, and civil service, making up a significant portion of governors, administrators, and officials relative to Scotland’s population. Scots were prominent as governors in the Carribean, India, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and African colonies. They also dominated roles in the East India Company and later imperial services. Rather than acknowledging Scotland’s active role, the narrative often shifts to claims of “internalised Anglo-phobia” or some sort of Stockholm syndrome. It’s as if Scotland was forced into complicity like Django Unchained’s ‘Stephen,’ the loyal house slave who sides with the master. The reality seems simpler. Scotland fought bravely, eventually lost, joined the winning side, and then did rather well out of the arrangement - certainly better than most of the world’s colonized peoples. Am I wrong?
