the most anti-immigration people are often the ones who haven’t met an immigrant in their life. this is how right-wing scaremongering works, they exploit people’s unfamiliarity with the topic to convince them it’s somehow a threat to them
This is a conversation about history. It doesn’t include modern member states because they were not member states when the modern European colonization of Africa first occurred.
therefore,
EU flag doesn’t fit here because it’s a symbol that’s used nowadays to represent 27 countries, not just colonisers. that’s why I initially said it was anachronistic
and there are still many eu member states that can hardly be accused of directly engaging in modern colonialism, I’m simply saying we shouldn’t lump them all together
modern european colonialism doesn’t have much to do with god or promised land anymore, and even then a british or a french flag would be more appropriate imo
putting an eu flag on this feels anachronistic

no idea what the joke here is, but just wanted to say that the colloquial word for a nuclear bomb in japanese is ピカドン (pikadon), with quite an interesting etymology:
ピカ (pika) is the sound of something sparkling or glittering
ドン (don) is the sound of an explosion, just like “bang” in english
so in conclusion, the japanese call nukes “sparkle-BANG”
this is bi erasure.
