This is a conversation about history. It doesn’t include modern member states because they were not member states when the modern European colonization of Africa first occurred.

therefore,

EU flag doesn’t fit here because it’s a symbol that’s used nowadays to represent 27 countries, not just colonisers. that’s why I initially said it was anachronistic

and there are still many eu member states that can hardly be accused of directly engaging in modern colonialism, I’m simply saying we shouldn’t lump them all together

modern european colonialism doesn’t have much to do with god or promised land anymore, and even then a british or a french flag would be more appropriate imo

putting an eu flag on this feels anachronistic

I couldn’t find any native japanese word for it, but there is 黄銅 (oudou) “yellow copper”, borrowed from chinese 黃銅

meanwhile, Japanese:

white metal (shirogane) = silver

black metal (kurogane) = iron

red metal (akagane) = copper

yellow metal (kogane) = gold

blade metal (hagane) = steel

blue metal (aogane) = lead

what’s wrong with wearing a helmet?

the path it will actually take:

foreign worker permit system down, please wait patiently

in my experience it literally doesn’t matter whether you include one or not

just looked it up. the place he went to was literally 2 miles from the white house, in the middle of a fucking 6 million metropolis. honestly, regardless of what the national park said, who chooses a place like that for a swim and expects it not to be polluted?

these sort of laws usually aim to repress women but this time they went so far as to target men almost exclusively. I wonder if they forgot what their goal was. or perhaps the simpler explanation is that these legislators lack braincells
