how is argentines claims to the falklands in anyway less imperialistic then Britains?
the only argument i hear is that falklands is closer to argentine (which is a pretty weak argument ) or that it was claimed by spain once (like spanish imperialism/colonialism is better then british).
considering how argies mostly descends from europeans, where arguably just as bad as USA when it came too genociding and oppressing natives they are also a colonialist state.
so why do leftist anti-imperialists defend their retarded landclaim?

>>2805947>they were the first to permanently settle, which is the only thing that mattersBritain left the islands after the dispute with Spain and relinquished their claim. Any British legitimacy ended after that, everything after is pure imperialist aggression.
>make a silly shitpost
>Some retard has a seethe attack
Lmao
>>2805879Doesn't matter. The people responsible are dead, the people they hurt are also dead. There's nothing to be done about it. You're just looking for an excuse to hurt more people in the present.
>>2805955Yes we got it, you think the mass killing of Palestineans is so funny that you love to employ it in your jingoist rivalry with your rival nationality. Hahaheeho. Very fun. Dead children. So edgy. Now fuck off back to sharty.
>>2805952i've never shifted the goalposts, i've repeatedly uttered three basic things
>1:the falklanders position on the status of their island matters, as does the position of any people in a sovereignty dispute>2: the argentine claims are built on factually inaccurate claims, or built on presumptions of El Dio telling them this land was promised to them>3: anyone who defends such a position is not "opposing colonialism" or any other system, but precisely defending it when they personally don't like the perpetrator, and will ignore any similar case and instead insert false comparisons in order to lie and deceive others >>2805954they never relinquished their claim, nor ever supported argentina's claim, once again, make a false claim, and then pretend it's true
>>2805960Also unlike the British Argentina ACTUALLY gave up the claim to the islands, for which we have actual historical evidence since it actually happened. They didn't give a shit about it for over a century
Why is this retard tlking about Paliestinians in a thread about Argensimians?
>>2805958You claimed there are no trolls and like 10 seconds later a guy shows up confessing they basically have been trolling throughout this thread in bad faith because they have a jingoistic rivalry going on and then you where forced to admit uh yeah there are trolls after all. Why do you lack basic self-awareness?
>>2805962Wow another one. What a banger. Keep'em coming, tiger.
I mean not even the US recognizing British sovereignty over the islands is basically all you need to know on this topic. It basically says it all.
>>2805963i said this "you quite literally made this up in your head to justify it(it being your derangement to support an argentine colonial project in the falklands), everyone you don't like is a troll or has some other motivation, and can't simply have come to the position that argentina has no legally valid claim to the island other than a 400 year old treaty?" which didn't deny the existence of trolls, but you specifically implying everyone you disagree with is a troll
What a fucking schizo retard, you make one post making fun of Argie nationalists and apparently that means he has been getting trolled for hoyrs.
>>2805968Even if you go by the original treaty and the stupid uti possesitus juris argument, it STILL doesn't belong to Argentina, because the Spanish had different colonial governors for La Plata and for the Malvinas, meaning Spain saw them as two separate territories when they relenquished possession
>>2805960Wrong. Under the Nootka Sound Convention in 1790, Britain gave up rights to settle in islands of the South Atlantic, including the Falklands.
>>2805967wow! the united states opportunistically takes a centrist position on the issue, precisely because it wants an ally in argentina and in britain, and doesn't want to compromise that either way! crazy that isn't it?
>>2805970Just fuck off back to sharty mate and stop employing an ongoing genocide for your stupid nationalist football rivalries or whatever.
>>2805972they didn't though
>>2805974You are a schizo retard
>>2805978No one in your entire life ever thought you were funny. That's why you need to make fun of dead children on the internet.
>>2805982Yes, we know that you are a monster. Now back to sharty.
>le sharty boogeyman
Truly a fucking schizo
>>2806000milei wants it to give it away to israel for free
it's also why he's making so many infrastructure improvements to patagonia same as his zionist brother in chile
andinia is real 2401
>>2805941>argentine claims to the falklands use the identical logic to zionist claims to palestine.let me see. britain abandoned the falklands after 1774 and several decades later they showed up again to seize them from argentina without provocation, acting like they had divine right over it. hmm, which one sounds more like zionism?
>>2806010sperging over some land being "stolen" that you abandoned hundreds of yers ago sounds more like zionism, especially when another population has occupied the land for some centuries.
thought unlike jews in palestine the argies never had any major controll or settlements on the island so they have an even weaker claim on the falklands then zionists have of israel
i guess norweigans and icelanders have more claim on greenland then the inuits since norse people from iceland and norway settled the island before them.
We must support Norway in their struggle against eskimo imperialism
I hope Britain enforces its claim again because the last time a retarded Argentinian government tried to lay claim to it they were a reactionary right wing regime that got BTFO and lost all credibility, so we should all hope Milei tries to take it and gets BTFO thereby repeating history again.
>>2806000I've met multiple people on the British left who support the Argentinian position on the basis that the war helped Thatcher and then they just kind of work backwards from there.
Even though Argentina's claim is literally just a combination of zionist tier 'it was promised to us 3000 years ago' and Argentinian Lebensraum.
>>2806488instantly iconic
>>2806488Wasnt it Bordiga who said that Hitler was the true revolutionary? lol
>>2806488>>2806502Speaking of, which one of you fuckers reverted my edit to the Amadeo Bordiga wikipedia page at 330 AM?? Your change has already been re-reverted.
>>2806488Every time i unminimized the leftcom poster who flagfags it feels weird to me he's just allowed to explicitly shit-up and not get banned despite a disregard rules. Is he a mod?
>>2806517I find it very likely.
I once went to /meta/ and complained that he breaks rule 14 constantly and in nearly every post he makes.
Then last month I said leftcommunism is a reactionary ideology and got banned for (guess what) rule 14 with the ban expiring only two days ago. Felt almost like a vendetta.
>>2806527Personally I report him and anyone bickering with him in /iran/, so its very notable he's actively not being banned whilst his interlocutors are.
>>2804689we need a new chagosposter but from the falklands to weigh in on this very important issue
>>2806488leftcom flagcuck is an annoying retard but i've never been banned for arguing with him
>>2806488also there is no fucking way he's a mod because he started his own website split from this one bordiga.party
>>2806558>mods never initiate splitsholy lol
also lmao at the full TOR node ban AND massive VPN blacklisting last night
some tech literate leftist chad btfo'd that freak so hard he had to cry to press the ban button again
Bad Empanada sneezes and leftypol is shaking. Lmao.
>>2806848Bad Empanada tongues my anus
>>2806848bad empanada looses his credibility by falling for his own countrys zionist-tier jingoistic nationalist propaganda slop
anglo derangement syndrome runs wild
