    Some dipshit with a shit-eating grin is sat there typing "Taiwan" as he paint-bucket-tools the entirety of mainland China, not understanding that Taiwan is the name of the Island, but eager to score positive western social credit by angering Xinnie the Pooh.

    why do all of these late 21st century maps completely ignore the huge effects that climate change is going to have on our planet and civilisation

    it's such a huge blind spot to have, we're already dealing with famines and extreme weather due to this shit and it's only going to get worse, but libs refuse to acknowledge it. i wanna see a map where coastlines are changed and huge migrations away from ecological disaster zones have triggered wars and entirely new geopolitical paradigms. not just this lame fucking wish fulfillment bullshit that has no relation to reality

      Because to acknowledge the full extent of climate change, you have to acknowledge that the future is socialism or barbarism, and anyone who can do that won't be a liberal.

      Because the only politics that matter are the lines on the map, silly!

      Also fuckin' lol @ half of the US just taking over all of Canada and it's the Canadians that have to change their names.

        They actually see the US falling apart and undergoing institutional collapse and that is what pushed them over the edge to say, let's get in on that.

          They felt bad for the US so they were just like, "Here, have our country instead."

            Very on brand for Canada, "We will do racism and genocide, but we will try to somehow portray ourselves as nice and considerate while doing it."

          The fucking Queen had to sign off on that shit too! Like, Australia can't just vote to join China.

            Actually, it is not stated, but the British monarchy has effectively ended. 2046 the queen finally choked on a chicken bone and died. By act of parliament, the mummified corpse of the queen is made monarch in aeternum instead of letting any of the fail children/grandchildren rule.

              If it came to like, giving the country away there would be a kerfuffle. They're British.

              Not sure if you're serious (I'm intoxicated atm) but the Queen overruled democracy in Australia once already:

      The balkanization of US is the most realistic part of this, the only problem is how there's only liberals versus the rednecks versus Florida when in reality it's going to be six fiefdoms split between six billionaires.

    Lmao did Quebec join the EU? An independent Quebec with contemporary borders is a tell tale sign that the person making the map doesn't know what they're talking about. There's no way Ungava would secede with Quebec, most indigenous groups in the area would prefer to stay in the same country as Nunavut and Labrador, as well as knowing that the racist policies of Quebec would only get worse with independence. (Not to say the rest of Canada isn't racist ofc)

    (Do not take this as fact, I don't know what I'm talking about)

      What always drives me crazy in these maps is the straight lines in the now split up Canada and US. Administrative borders are much simpler than international borders, I doubt both parties will be happy with a straight line, and unless there's an external colonial power forcing the issue it's just not happening.
