Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•What makes a country real/not real?English
2·5 months agoGiant mix up here. When I read “Emirate” I thought that was a Arabic word for state. My bad.
A lot of Arabic discourse I seen relates to the legitimacy of certain Arab countries. Kind of like the Balkans. There’s a belief that Qatar, Kuwait and even Palestine aren’t real countries.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•What makes a country real/not real?English
23·5 months ago“Out of the ones you mention, Dubai is in fact not a real country and I have not seen anyone claim that it is;”
I swear to god I read a wiki article about the state of Dubai. I’ve also seen other people talk about it as if it’s a country.
“As for Latvia, no idea whatsoever what you’re talking about.”
A lot of communists don’t like the three Baltic states, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. They calm there not real countries for some reason. They say the same for the Ukraine.
“So the question as asked is unanswerable because you’re giving confusing and inconsistent examples.”
The examples I gave didn’t matter. I was asking a broader question about what makes the country legitimate or not.

310·6 months agoGovernments change agreements all the time. There is nothing illegal or unlawful about that. Whether you agree with it or not isn’t the point. Just because somebody does something you disagree with doesn’t give you the right to throw a fit about it.

411·6 months agoNo it isn’t. If this was on the street then it would be fine but this was a place of law and order where if you don’t like something you talk about it like an adult. It was totally unprofessional and performative.

49·6 months agoAs someone who is half-Maori this just embarrasses me. I don’t have a problem with people celebrating their heritage and culture just do it in a more appropriate time and place. I wouldn’t have a problem with Irish people celebrating the Saint Patrick’s Day just as long as they don’t do it during a meeting at parliament.
I would rather stick barbed wire down my pussy then watch one second of Cock the Weak.
