This is an anti-colonialist meme joking about people who are anti-immigration for other reasons

Before endorsing something like this, maybe research about how statelessness is one of the things the UN is lauded for trying to end. It's like the peacetime equivalent of a war-crime. Stateless persons are absolutely not something we should try to make more of. It's a principle like self-determination that if someone is born and raised somewhere, they should never be forced to leave -- violating this is how you get an Israel/Palestine situation.

If you're very morally zealous, you are probably saying to this, "well fuck people who disagree -- they should just leave." Kinda naïve! If it were possible to arrange for that, a lot of conflicts in the world would never have started in the first place.

generally anti-colonialists aren't against colonizing areas that are uninhabited by humans. You could probably make this kind of joke work if you were to identify a pre-existing indigenous civilization that existed on the land before the person pictured's society did, but you'd have to do actual research.

the anchor can stay, the boat can leave.

Of course there will always be a leading cause of death. There will always be a fastest runner, a smartest person, a longest road, a most-popular book. That anyone could see this as an argument to stop writing books is incomprehensible to me.

I am having some difficulty understanding you, but I'm interested to get your point. Can you rephrase this perhaps?

IMO the problem is not really what happened in the past -- we don't tend to bother fighting for justice for peoples that were completely wiped out. It's the ongoing problems that are what really matters. Land acknowledgments are a proxy for this, but an schelling-effective one; one that people can rally around.

I don't get it... why can't Canada just totally divest from Israel?

I hope some day we can get rid of all of these.

I hate it when movie #2 is all just setup for movie #3. Looking at you, Pirates of the Carribean.

I would imagine that they didn't define the term on the questionnaire and just asked if they avoided games for that reason.
