it was like this when I got here. thanks a lot ancestors

Twelve20two,

We should make this list longer

Marketsupreme,

At first I thought you meant perform events that would add to the list.

Fiivemacs,

And fix it so it makes sense…like putting never ask as the image title so the other entries ACTUALLY make sense

ILikeBoobies,

The US Walk of Shame was much worse than the Coups

Gorilladrums,

Marxist regimes tend be the most murderous and most sensitive. The CCP literally murdered tens of millions of people and they’re banning clothes “that hurt China’s feelings” (actual quote)

Draedron,

China is not Marxist. It is capitalist under communist disguise.

Prunebutt,

I really like the term “state capitalist”.

oatscoop,

“Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people” has been one of the CCP’s favorite political catchphrases since 1959. It even has its own wikipedia article.

It’s often followed with China’s final warning.

FluffyPotato,

Nah, those regimes have as much to do with Marx as margarine is butter. The vanguard party idea tankies have would have Marx rotating in his grave fast enough to power the globe. Marxism-Leninism originates mostly from Stalin and has nothing to do with Marx, other than aesthetics. It’s basically fascism with socialist aesthetics.

JokeDeity,

Every one of those countries has an endless list of atrocities, many of which are worse than the ones listed and many of which are going on today.

I read Nazi gold as Nazi god and was so damn confused

blind3rdeye,

The finns about what their country was like in 1920-1945

Canada, about residential schools, WW2 Japanese internment camps and missing and murdered indigenous women and children

Most of us are nice, but our government has gotta get it together to address a lot of stuff still.

IAmA Swiss person AMA

ArianaGrande,

Nazi gold??

Starshader,

Argentina took the nazi soldier, US took the nazi scientists, of course we took the nazi gold ! After all, Switzerland is a dwarf confederation.

crispy_kilt,

Yes. About 200 million USD worth. Trading with the fascists is a stain that will remain on our history for a long time.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

implying Switzerland doesn’t still trade and bank with fascists

grayman,

At least the Swiss never gave the nazis back their stolen gold.

hoch,

It sure will, considering it’s still ongoing - your country just replaced Nazi gold with Russian gold.

crispy_kilt,

Ackshully all gold trade with Russia was stopped the second they launched their full scale invasion of Ukraine. We’re implementing the same sanctions as the EU.

Starshader,

That’s a nice stereotype and fantasy. But the reality is very différent. Here is the beginning of an answer :

cnbc.com/…/find-out-where-russia-wealth-is-outsid…

grayman,

No no no… They just decided to restrike all their Swiss francs for no good reason whatsoever… Just for fun. Totally normal… Despite the expense.

How many tooth filings and wedding rings does it take to make 20 francs?

dudewitbow,

OP, your better off selecting one of Chinas south east asia conquests over Square.

Lmfao genocides and student protests that turned violent are the same thing

No_Money_Just_Change,

Don’t ask OP about the use of prepositions

Blackmist,

What do you mean don’t ask the UK about African interment camps?

Our lovely Tory government spent most of last year proud of trying to deport asylum seekers to fucking Rwanda. Like it was some sort of vote winner.

Spendrill,

I think it’s unfair to suggest that the UK Government doesn’t like you asking about African internment camps.

They also don’t like you asking about:

  • the conditions under which refugees are currently housed, give you a clue it kind of rhymes historically with internment camps
  • Various Indian famines that were caused or exacerbated by colonial rule
  • role in slave trade. Yes they ended the slave trade… by compensating slave owners. Also started the fucking thing.
  • That time we basically stole an entire island from its people to put an airbase there.
  • linked to the internment camps, pretty much anything Churchill did prior to the Second World War and after it also.
  • the undercover activities of the police investigating environmental groups e.g. having children by the people they were surveilling.

There’s probably several pages of this but I’ve only just woken up.

Blackmist,

The British Empire once covered over a quarter of the Earth’s land area. Even the Mongols never managed that.

And by “once”, it’s not ancient history. It was 1920.

It’s horrifying, and we’re almost certainly responsible for more suffering than any other country on Earth, but also kind of impressive. There are just 22 countries we never invaded.

hemko,

We could also blame UK for the existence of USA

Blackmist,

Don’t look at us, it was the Spanish that found it.

Well, after all those people that were already on it, obviously. But they hardly count. They weren’t white. But according to Americans, neither are the Spanish, so…

What about the boers?

Opeth,

I mean they were great as footballers but honestly both don’t cut it as managers

And the Kenyans. The English developed concentration camps in South African and used them in Kenya during the Mau Mau rebellion.

Naveen000can,

Sri lankan government about -how they won civil war -black July -jvp riots -easter attacks
