and frankly a climax where a bunch of Black and Indigenous folks are killing each other while the CIA is just off in the background observing was fucking bunk to me.

Just gets dumber every day

Looks like a bunch of years of "violence don't solve anything" mixed with "you can only shoot the bad guys" made you look like a bad guy if you revolt against your government in a minimaly violent way. And by that i mean like shouting , not even violence against property.

And docile people mean government doesn't give a shit

RE surprisingly showing a deeper understanding of the situation, aware of how Morocco uses its own population as blackmail. One idiot in there though thinking Ceuta is a remnant of colonialism

While romanticizing centuries of North African Muslim rule in Iberia.

Ceuta and Melilla should be handed to Morocco, they're hold ups of the colonial past.

 

Colonies with autonomous governments and representation in both the parliament and senate not unlike any other mainland region like Madrid or Andalucia just because they happen to be overseas, although for Ceuta "overseas" literally means "at swimmable distance from Europe". Absolutely insane definition of "colonial".

What's insane is comparing Ceuta and Melilla to Sicily 🤣🤣🤣

yeah, dumbass, it's kinda like sicily because it demonstrates a territory does not become a colony merely because it is separated from the rest of the country or lies on another continent. Ceuta's inhabitants are Spanish citizens with elected local govts and autonomous institutions, and have representation in Spain’s gov't.  Find a single state that contains territory that wasn't acquired through conquest.  I thought modern "decolonization" was supposed to liberate a politically subordinate people...not award territory to the nearest country based on geography. Fuck what Ceutans and Melillans freely want, give it to North Africa, famously pure anti-colonialists.

Someone should ask why the Moroccans are all so Muslim and Arab despite being in North Africa 

For the real fun, do it with Palestine.

I've never heard that used in a context resembling reincarnation, but rather that you have tastes and habits reminiscent of older populations. I've gotten it a few times in my life.

Are you absolutely sure it wasn't "asshole"?

It wasn't taken from Morocco either, so how can Spain give it back to a defunct dynasty from Algeria?

In a just world, after everything Europeans did all over Africa there should not be territory controlled by Europeans on Africa.

It is funny how the Spanish still claim sovereignty over Gibraltar after centuries of English dominion but when it comes to Ceuta and Melilla their instance is "please consider we have been here for a long time".

I guess it's too much to expect anything of old colonialists besides hypocrisy.

Somebody on Resetera pointing out Spanish hypocrisy about colonialism in comparison to the British? 


What next? Somebody along why the French still have literal overseas colonies?

This part with the OP checking in:

Ceuta clearly belongs to Italy.
It was part of Mauretania Tingitana of the Roman Empire

I always wonder which year someone has to chose to truly get rid of the colonial past.

Deserves a gold.border IMO.
