Oh wow! So that's how Michigan got the UP!

Cool racism your trying to promote

rockSlayer ,

I'm interested in understanding why you feel like this is racist.

Worx ,

Continental drift in its current form was theorised by Alfred Wegener. Wegener was a citizen of the German empire. Empires were invented by Rome. Rome shares two letters with Race. Race is a social construct that allows for racism. Therefore all Mexicans who have allowed their border to continentally drift away from Merica are racist.

That's my best guess, anyway

rockSlayer ,

Ah, I didn't know we were using the "why fire trucks are red" argument. I see now why it's racist

IWantToFuckSpez ,

They’s borderline

lugal ,

I hope this is Poe's Law at play. I literally don't know what that even means if it's meant seriously

As a Mexican I also have no idea what that guy is talking about. My best guess is that he thinks it's racist because it just mentions Mexico at all?

Oddly enough, this is not true between Belize and Guatemala.

Because border conflicts between nation-states are pretty pretty pretty common.

denim is too scratchy, if you vote for the denim party you should be considered guilty of treason

henfredemars , in Some things are impossible to explain

Nearly? Where do they disagree?

mkwt ,

I think there's one situation where the border was defined by the river but then the river moved, and some Americans ended up on the Mexican side of the river. I'm not sure if this is an active border dispute or not.

I think there are some semi active disputes going about the possibility that some American water management activities in the watershed may cause the river to shift more. For reference, the headwaters of the Rio Grande are deeper into US territory, not on the border

Blamemeta ,

Florida. Mexico aint touching florida

hitmyspot ,

Where the Mexican border ends? The us southern border still exists when not in contact with mexico.

NigelFrobisher , in Some things are impossible to explain

This more looks like how I remember it from my timeline, with a big river between the US and Mexico.

Limeey , in Let's make something clear

They are pole-ish.

Hobbes_Dent , in Let's make something clear

Delusional.

MxM111 , in Let's make something clear

Those are not real poles. This are red dots on the map (and not in the right place either)

David_Eight ,

Fucking Neil Degrasse Tyson over here LoL

magikmw , in Let's make something clear

As a pole, it's endonym appropriation, and I wont stand for it.

Which one?

SamsonSeinfelder , in Let's make something clear

There are only two poles! Marek and Agnieszka.

Maalus ,

With how popular those names are, you'd think people would know how to say Agnieszka. I've heard "nishka" lol

mojofrododojo , in Let's make something clear

I liked the Polish and wanted to visit until their farmers decided to fuck with Ukraine 8 ways from sunday. They're so fucking worried about Ukrainian grain that they'll fuck the only other people on the planet that have been fucked around as much as Poland, Ukraine.

shneancy ,

there are sane people in poland i promise, we're not all stupid bigots they're just very loud

eran_morad ,

Ah, MAGAts, or the local equivalent thereof. I suppose they’re everywhere.

shneancy ,

sadly yes, it's a plague

Rachelhazideas , in Let's make something clear

There are only two poles, north and south. Everywhere else is a mental illness.

spizzat2 ,

Well, you're not wrong... Texas adopted legislation declaring that the West Pole must exist, and therefore must be in Texas.

Abnorc ,

As if dipoles exist.
