Why didn't they just stack the areas normally, why is does it go above and below the x axis??

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

There's also no units. I'm guessing the shape is meant to give more visual space? If they were stacked, it would be pretty cramped.

Why does it pretend to go down to zero, when there are still 17 officially UN recognized colonies? These are still left on the list of the "special committee for decolonization". Not to mention all the depended vasall states, comprador regimes etc. Also, where are all the US colonies?

[-] Sebrof@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

All that "bad stuff" is part of the past. It's called history and it has recently magically ended. Countries don't have colonies now, especially the US! We aren't some kingdom. God's in his heaven, all is right with the world

/s just in case lol

It's pretty cool that Simón Bolívar can actually be spotted in the historical timeline.

Not labeling axis is liberalism

[-] sisatici@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

I wonder why 1945-1960 has given us such sharp decolonization thinkin-lenin.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

The west, being the most mature and virtuous of peoples, realised that colonisation is bad and so they decided to just stop doing it anymore out of the goodness of their hearts.

(I joke, but that's literally how it was taught to me in school)

Thanks. You know, a happy coincidence lemmy.encryptionin.space spells out les.

I do think I have to figure out how to port some of hexbears changes to my instance, the sorting algo is better on hexbear.

"Number of colonisations over time"

What does that mean?

[-] anoriginalthought@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

It's fitting that it takes the shape of a butt plug

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That largely comes down to an aesthetical preference by whoever made that chart.

[-] KoloradoKoolAid75@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

They colonized us all-right.

[-] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Got "rid" of colonialism, but kept around the multinational corporations...

Now it's just called internationalism.

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 week ago

The universe has a fucked up sense of humour. What being all encompassing does to a motherfucker

That post war decolonization looks like extra colonization
