On one hand... the idea that the Argentinians aren't themselves a settler-colonial country a la the USA is pretty rich, so I'm not sympathetic to the claims that they are fighting colonialism by wanting the Falkland Islands. When the British settled it, it was unihabited so it's not like they took the land from native inhabitants - the British people there now are the original inhabitants. And most importantly, the people who live there now very clearly want to remain part of the UK and not be a part of Argentina, and all things being equal I would side with what the inhabitants themselves what.

OTOH... seriously, fuck the English / TERF Island. Their rape of the world via colonialism is maybe one of the greatest evils ever perpetuated by humans (definitely so if you count all of the USA's colonial atrocities in with the UK's by extension). They don't deserve to have any land outside of the British Isles. But they still have all these pockets around the world like the Falklands and Gibraltar where they put their own people that now makes it hard to change things. But the thing is, this website has like 5X the population of the Falklands. The Brits could easily relocate that small of a number of people and richly compensate them for it. And the Falklands are right at Argentina's doorstep and presents a massive security vulnerability. I'm sure if the Spanish set up shop on the Isle of Man, the Brits would be doing everything they could to get them out just for the military security alone.

So as a leftist, I don't know where I stand on this issue. Would be curious to know what you all think. @RNAi, big apologies if I'm wrong but afaik you are Argentinian? Would love to hear your perspective.
