@FanKajaJuvan Yes, the Dutch (Netherlands and Flanders and also the whole Belgium and Luxembourg) were a Spanish territory and considered highly developed

@roseromaunt Gold Coast, Sandwich Islands and Cathay is a colonial name
English
It’s not “Sri Lanka” it’s Ceylon
It’s not “China” it’s Cathay
It’s not “India” it’s Hindustan
It’s not “Hawaii” it’s the sandwich islands
It’s not “Ethiopia” it’s Abyssinia
It’s not “Ghana” it’s the Gold Coast
It’s not “Myanmar” it’s Burma
Decolonize your vocabulary.

China basically did internal colonisation. To industrialise they relied on internal migration from hundreds of millions of rural villagers who were given no legal rights in the coastal factory cities.
Also the People’s Republic of China invaded Tibet and Central Asia in order to establish its borders along the borders of the old Qing Dynasty. Tibetans and Uyghurs were definitely occupied and colonised

Seorang penjual kambing asal Kota Batu mendadak menjadi perbincangan di media sosial. Pemuda bernama Bang Faiq itu viral setelah mengunggah konten sederhana yang menampilkan dirinya bersama kambing-kambing dagangannya.
Dalam waktu sekitar 10 jam, akun Instagram miliknya mengalami lonjakan pengikut yang signifikan hingga mendekati 30 ribu followers. Peningkatan tersebut menarik perhatian banyak warganet karena terjadi dalam waktu yang relatif singkat.
Konten yang diunggah Bang Faiq tidak menampilkan konsep yang rumit. Video dan foto yang dibagikan hanya memperlihatkan aktivitasnya bersama kambing-kambing yang dijual. Namun, penampilannya yang berambut gondrong, gaya penyampaian yang santai, serta profesinya sebagai penjual kambing dinilai memberikan kesan unik dan autentik.
Fenomena tersebut pun memicu beragam komentar dari warganet. Banyak yang mengaku mengikuti akun Bang Faiq karena merasa kontennya sederhana, apa adanya, dan berbeda dari tren konten yang umum beredar di media sosial.
Hingga kini, unggahan Bang Faiq masih terus ramai diperbincangkan dan jumlah pengikut akun media sosialnya terus bertambah.

@mikitaposts Ethnonationalism, whether it is Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Polish, Israeli, British, Palestinian or anything other nation is dangerous.
English
I don’t particularly like the way a lot of Ukrainian accounts on here talk about Polish people, Belarusians, and Americans. Especially the past few months towards Poles. Incredibly irritating. That doesn’t mean I want Russia to win. I want Ukraine to win.

adding to this, a clear sign of the movement’s fracturing is @mikitaposts growing tendency to criticize it as his belarusian roots demonstratably take precedence over ukraine

@lost_nomad__ Interesting, what do you think about the Dutch?

And both rejected Spanish culture and embraced Northwestern European liberalism & free markets
Meanwhile the British had Singapore, Hong Kong, Gulf States without even having settlers. Hell, Botswana has a similar GDP per capita as Mexico with almost zero British genetics

@RavenweX Kenapa ngga bikin villa mewah di atas gunung sungguhan aja si hehehe

Rekor tetangga paling red flag dan sosiopat di bumi jatuh kepada seorang dokter kaya di Beijing bernama Zhang Biqing.
Selama 6 tahun, dia DIAM-DIAM bangun gunung buatan lengkap pake batu raksasa, pohon asli, jalan setapak, sampai ruang karaoke di atap apartemen mewah lantai 26 miliknya!
Beban ribuan ton gunung pribadi itu bikin struktur gedung retak-retak sampai bawah dan air apartemen tetangganya pada bocor. Tiap ada tetangga yang protes, malah digebukin sama dia sampai itu tetangga trauma dan milih pindah rumah.
Biar gak ketahuan, dia ngangkut material batu sama pohonnya pake lift servis tiap tengah malam. Habis duit sekitar Rp1,9 Miliar demi obsesi punya villa puncak di atas awan.
Kasusnya baru meledak tahun 2013 pas foto satelitnya viral. Pemerintah langsung ngasih ultimatum 15 hari buat bongkar. Proses ngeruntuhin gunung egois ini butuh waktu 4 bulan lebih karena puingnya harus diturunin dikit-dikit. Bener-bener beban hidup nyata buat penghuni di bawahnya wkwk.

Argentina 🇦🇷 and Spain 🇪🇸 are condemned to understand each other Some things to remember this Sunday: - Argentina 🇦🇷 is the country with the highest amount of Spaniards living abroad... - Spain 🇪🇸 is the country with the highest amount of Argentinians living abroad, too - Both are Catholic countries - Both countries have reached the final match by defeating historical rivals - Both were part of a single country (not a colony but a viceroy) and share the vast majority of its culture Some of my best friends are Argentinians, and we share a way of understanding the world Don't let football divide us

@Noahpinion I was in the British Museum, and all the Chinese visitors seemed to spend most of their time in the Chinese collection of jade. Perhaps the rest of the world is simply not that interesting.

When I was 21, I told a friend: "China will never conquer the world, because Chinese guys only want Chinese girls."
I know that was silly, but still, in some very generalized sense, I think I was right.

@Kevin1138159 @mouse_math Why not People’s Liberation Navy (the Army could be left out)
English
@mouse_math It's called that to distinguish between a navy for national defense of the Chinese people and a navy for imperial conquest (like the US Navy that patrols Taiwan).
English
China could have just called their Navy "China's Navy", but instead it's "China's People's Liberation Army Navy", which is quite a mouthful of ideological unraveling.

@RnaudBertrand In Indonesia, we also have many itinerant honey sellers from the Baduy indigenous community. Their village is located around 150 km away from Jakarta and they travelled by foot to Jakarta, bringing with them traditionally produced honey from their forest.
English
Pro-tip: if you travel in China, don't buy honey in the supermarket, buy it from these guys 👇
All over China, next to flower fields, you have those itinerant honey sellers who travel with their bee colonies based on the season.
You see them everywhere in China (see quoted post from our previous RV roadtrip in Dongbei) and the honey couldn't be more fresh and natural.
This particular guy we met today had 3 types of honey on sale based on the 3 latest flower fields he set up shop next to: mint (first time I tasted mint honey and it's surprisingly good!), lavender, and perilla (the flowers next to which he currently is in the video). We bought the lavender because, as good as the mint was, lavender was still our favorite ☺️
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
This is a job that probably only exists in China: itinerant honey seller, who move around with their bees depending on the season. This is in Inner Mongolia where this particular seller spends his summers. We asked him and he moves 5 to 6 times a year, chasing flowers, typically ending up in Yunnan during the winters. There are actually quite a few of these honey sellers in the Chinese countryside: if you are in a place with many flowers at a given moment, you're more likely than not to see some! We bought a big 1kg pot of honey for RMB 50 (about $7). Some of the best honey I've ever tried!
