No, the Malvinas weren't discovered by the British nor the french, they were discovered by Spain and became argentinian territory when we gained independence.

Yes, there were people living there when England stole them, they were either murdered or chased off. And even if there had been no people there, that still doesn't fucking excuse it???

No, we aren't saying we should kick off the people living there, that would be doing the same thing the British did back then. We're asking you to acknowledge the fact that they are rightful argentinian territory and that they were illegally stolen and colonized.

I was recently chastised for not having any posts by an Argentinian who then subsequently blocked me for not believing that the Native tribes of Patagonia somehow teleported to the Falkland Islands leaving no trace of themselves in the process. Hence this shall be my first post.

No, the Selk’nam, Yahgan, and Haush did in fact not use their *canoes* to head East for three months straight (without dying of hunger and thirst mind you) in order to cross a 500 kilometer gap (in a straight like with consistent wind in the right direction) for unknown reasons. There are in fact places on Earth that were so difficult to even reach prior to modern sailships that they remained uninhabited until European discovery and it is not racist to realise that.

do the malvinas next

Now that the UK has agreed to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, the sun will finally set on the British Empire for the first time in centuries

[titina-pitriqli]

To think that If it weren't for the united states, chile, brazil and uruguay's help, the british would have lost that war. We were alone and suffering the most violent dictatorship of our history. So fucked up.

la union europea anda llamando de manera correcta a las malvinas y los britanicos andan tirando un berrinche tremendo. Habran perdido en el poll pero ganaron la guerra. Felicidades! ❤

Me alegraste el día, gracias

There were indeed indigenous people in the islands before europeans settled it.

Are you trying to say countries founded under colonialism can't criticize colonialism?????

Argentina has vowed to gain “full sovereignty” of the Falkland Islands after Britain gave up control of a remote archipelago in return for securing the future of a strategically important military base. The country’s foreign minister, Diana Mondino, welcomed the step taken by British prime minister Keir Starmer’s Government on Thursday towards ending “outdated practices” after Britain returned the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. She promised “concrete action” to ensure that the Falklands – the British-controlled archipelago that Argentina calls the Malvinas and claims as its own – are handed to Buenos Aires. In an intervention that will fuel rising Tory criticism of the UK-Mauritius agreement and its perceived implications for other overseas territories, Ms Mondino said: “The long dispute between Britain and Mauritius came to a conclusion today, with Mauritians successfully regaining their territory of Chagos.

What's not in the Argentine's favour is that the islands were uninhabited when the Europeans arrived, first the Spanish then the Brits; there were no indigenous people there. The Chagos Island were inhabited, and Britain shipped the locals to Mauritius.

I find it ridiculous when Latin American countries decry the colonialism when they themselves were founded by that same colonialism, and the people calling out the colonialism are whites of European origin. When a Latin American country is run by the indigenous people of the region, like Bolivia under Morales, then criticism of colonialism is justified.

FTR, Mondino's roots are in the north of Italy, in Piedmont. Her boss, Milei, has his roots in Italy (father) and Croatia (mother, obviously).

All that said, the islands belong to Argentina, just drop the hypocritical cries of colonialism.

Great so now the yankis want to use one of the most gruesome and dark times in argentinian history to justify their xenophobia and explain to us why colonialism is cool if your great great grandparent was european

big day for this post

a moodboard™

[satorugojowidow]

algún día vamos a tener que hablar de la apropiación de la derecha de la causa malvinas con la única finalidad de ensalzar el nacionalismo a través de la xenofobia, porque como migrante chilena siento que en cualquier momento me van a pegar un tiro y va a ser alguien con el lema "las malvinas son argentinas" y un tema de iorio sonando detrás

4 cosas para recordar en esta fecha:

_Las Malvinas son argentinas

_Los soldados, pibes con poco entrenamiento y cagados de hambre fueron torturados por sus jefes en las islas

_Las mujeres también participaron en la guerra, como enfermeras pero también como contención emocional

_Algunos que cantaban "de los pibes de Malvinas que jamás olvidaré" votaron a un gobierno que le chupa la pija de manera muy explícita al imperialismo yanqui y británico y cuyo presidente tiene a Margaret Thatcher como ídola. La misma Thatcher a la que hasta los mismos pueblos británico e irlandés odian.

inglaterra no tiene la culpa de que galtieri nos haya mandado a perder la guerra al pedo. la culpa es del peronismo

Pero anda a empacharte con la leche de los ingleses entonces pelotudo, las Malvinas son argentinas y punto

[phaeton-flier]

"Las Malvinas Son Argentinas" is the funniest shit. All the talking points of imperialism backed by nothing more than "the Spanish out a flag on these empty, uninhabited rocks before conquering South America" and "Look they're right over there, right there, why should they have them, we should have them!"

The language of counter-imperialism dressing up two arguments used in actual historical imperialism. Prime example of how you can get people to support any political view so long as it's got the syntactic sugar of familiar political lingo.
