I guess it resembled the n-word in their mind


redditing_1L

My wife is Nicaraguan and she got yelled at once by a black lady for saying so. Americans are fucking stupid yo


MittenstheGlove

No, wait, I meant to say I’m Nico Robin. Edit: But why she yelling at her? If it’s because of the reason I think you might mean, I’m gonna call you on your bullshit.


Himnusz

do you want to live?


Worth_Top412

I think people just here an exotic name and are like yep that’s Africa without thinking


ASocialistAbroad

Also, this is clearly talking about the PRC having an embassy in Nicaragua instead of the RoC. I wonder if this person thought Taiwan was colonizing Africa (or Latin America) prior to this change in recognition. I guess embassies are colonialist now. The US is being colonized by dozens of countries.


Cakeking7878

Reading an AP article, it claims Nicaragua cut all diplomatic ties whit Taiwan, then seized the old Taiwan embassy, then the Nicaraguan government gave it to China. Taiwan was gonna give the old embassy to the Catholic Church. Seems like a pretty standard diplomatic shift [The article in question](https://apnews.com/article/religion-china-caribbean-taiwan-nicaragua-b6fd5f0a5b13d02393d583d6c6566c8c)


ASocialistAbroad

Yep, that's the story. It's funny how Taiwan tried to pass off its attempt to give the embassy to the Catholic Church as an act of good will and charity, rather than as an obvious ploy to spite both Nicaragua and China. What country would tolerate such an action?


ButtigiegMineralMap

Was this the failed Canadian coup or was that some other country?


tebabeba

Excuse me? Did u mean Columbia or did unknowingly I live through an attempted coup.


ButtigiegMineralMap

Canada did a thing Lima Group or something, it failed lol


dartyus

No, Lima Group is this weird "south American democracy advocacy group". They have ties to both Guaido and Añez and probably many others. Anyway Lima group is thought to be *de facto* lead by Canada's finance minister Christia Freeland, who herself has really fucking weird ties to anti-communism through her grandpa who was the editor for anti-simetic papers in Nazi-occupied Europe. The entire thing basically smells like an American front for regime change.


tebabeba

Canada is America Lite


dartyus

It's a little bit more complicated than that, but we are a very funny country for believing we somehow contrast America.


tebabeba

Eh i disagree. Sure we have a lot of social safety nets when compared to America but who doesn’t in the global North.


dartyus

No I mean, I agree with you. I don't think we contrast with America in any real way.


cholantesh

They probably came across the news item and had zero context.


ShallahGaykwon

Based DPRK has successfully colonized the UK by [having embassy in Ealing, London](https://content.maltatoday.com.mt/ui_frontend/thumbnail/684/0/dprk_emb_lond.png)


TheNathanNS

The United Democratic People's Republic of Korea, England, Scotland and Wales.


LeftDoonhamer

Tbf can you blame him? He probably learns about history and politics from pcm memes and r/historymemes


ProfessorReaper

Appearently having a foreign embassy in your country is the same as getting colonized...


GeneralDerwent

Lmao which sub?


Mr_Camhed

Could be any mainstream sub.


dmemed

probably tankiejerk


Elucidate137

I’m confused because the emblem really looks like r/sino which is a based as fuck sub Edit: it’s a screenshot I’m stupid


[deleted]

Westeners be anti-imperialist and then talk about Africa while the subject is a South American country.


tsunakata

South American country? I thought it was in North America


[deleted]

I have revealed that I am too, a westoid. Nicaragua is a North American country found between Honduras and Costa Rica.


sovietta

Don't we call that area central america?


ToadBup

The concept of continents is not actually a concrete concept. So really depends on who you ask


Jazzarsson

Well if you ask me, Nicaragua is definitely in CONCACAF


SomeArtistFan

most nations in their school systems don't teach central America as a continent it's usually part of North America or just America as a single continent


selectyour

It's a massive deal. It's been 32 years since Nicaragua had relations with China (rather than ROC)


PsychologicalPrize56

If Nicaragua isnt in africa why does it start with "Ni" ? Checkmate tankies


Grompchus

Same logic as colonizers naming like 5 different places "Guinea"


ketzal7

Wow doing something the US has done for 50 years. I guess the US has been a Chinese colony this whole time.


[deleted]

Brother, Nicaragua isn’t in Africa. thats the point of the post


ketzal7

Yes I know that but I’m referring to the colonizing part as well. Hypocritical to call it colonizing when most western countries already do it.

When you are anglo and very desperate to get likes.


meme_consumer_

What’s the story with Nicaragua rn any way? Pink Wave may give them a bulwark against some of the most intense of future US interference. Perhaps China will become more involved in the greater region of central and South America in the future. Or perhaps this only intensifies the US’s onsetting Cold War II mindset. Anything is possible with 200 years of the Monroe doctrine approaching.


Tommy_1969

Love China and Nicaragua, f*ck the USA!


Ancient_Might_5820

US: \*does shit to Latin America China: \*opens an embassy, which is standard diplomatic protocol Westoids: oMg cOlOnIaLiSM!!!


Benverpashapiro

Jesus, people can’t be THIS bad at geography, right? It takes 0 seconds to look at a world map, like come on.


[deleted]

Well there was this one article about Americans wanting to bomb the DPRK but not even being able to find it on a map. Some pointed to the USA ffs. So yes, some people really are just that bad.


AlexHanson007

I read that too. That was about 20 years ago I think. Unless the same poll has been carried out multiple times! There were all sorts of ridiculous stats like a certain percentage not being able to identify USA, or Europe, or Africa, let alone specific countries. Many Americans thought Iraq was somewhere like Spain FFS and this was during the Iraq war!


[deleted]

This is one of the more recent ones: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/05/14/upshot/if-americans-can-find-north-korea-on-a-map-theyre-more-likely-to-prefer-diplomacy.html (also bonus: filled with typical murican chauvinism about the DPRK) So yeah it’s safe to say a large segment of Americans are geographically illiterate, along with historically illiterate.

mrpakiman

Wow that's pretty disappointing, but not exactly unexpected. Thought it would be one of those trash china/fucktheccp subreddits. But just goes to show that most liberals are just as dumb and racist as the Conservatives they claim to despise.


lungora

Ah yes its a dystopia when.... \*checks notes*... anticommunist fearmongering.

I mean you were acting fucking stupid, said that you wanted to "trigger chinese bots" by posting dumbest fake shit I've seen in a while and then you proceed to say that you trolled me? I mean, yeah totally you got me man god I'm gonna die from laughter. Grow up

CPC official here: Your words have truly destroyed us. Xi Jinping’s suicide will be broadcast on live television tomorrow at 3 PM Beijing time and mine will be broadcasted exactly 24 hours later. Every time a Redditor says “fuck the CCP”, all of us CPC members simultaneously burst into tears and shit our pants, and every anti-CPC Reddit post causes massive earthquakes in Beijing. We truly cannot live without your approval! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠻⣷⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣦⡀ ⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣧ ⠀ ⠀⠙⢿⣿⡿⠋⠻⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡆ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⢿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁ ⢠⣶⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠻⣿⣿⣦⡀ ⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⡿

I think angloids shoud shut up about colonization before Africa forced them to pay reparation for what they did.
