    Missing a few flags here. Let me list em up:

    Italy, Germany and Japan if we want to include the era where the UK was imperialistic. If don’t want to include those then including the UK/France flags is unfitting.

    Otherwise it’s also missing the flags of China and Russia

    There’s a lot of newly found natural resources in southern and eastern Ukraine. It’s funny how the same “imperialists” are always the butt of the joke while there’s an actual, massive imperialist war of conquest happening right now. E: testing if editing federates this.

      Yes, Russia’s imperialist war is also bad. But what makes you think that the US and France aren’t practicing imperialism too, on a much wider scale?

        What I’m saying is the timing on these memes about past European imperialism make them look absurd with what’s happening in Europe right now. All the countries listed in the meme are helping a country fight back an imperialist, expansionist warmongerer.
