    Straight up planning colonialism. Just when I naively thought the mask was already as off as it was gonna be for a little while.

      The euros do have an obsession with redrawing territory lines don’t they. I guess they think they’ll be out of practice if they don’t do it constantly.

        Honestly, probably not that hard. In the industrialized world no nation can survive on its own. Most decolonization advocates I’ve heard argue for a sort of confederation. First they need their land and sovereignty back, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they turn into a United States of Turtle Island or something like that.

      I mean, they kind of did in 1991. What was the situation in USA or Germany before they got access to USSR’s resources? Not just natural resources mind, but people as well. Technologies. Straight up money

    Yes, they don’t even bother about borders, they just divide them by administrative districts.

    I think those decolonizators still will not be satisfied with the amount of conflicts, deaths and poverty to which such a division will lead

    Because when the British did this with India it went so well. We should invite them back to Asia to finish their colonialism, seems only fair.

      Turns out this is a bit of a rabbit hole! Despite that flag being used by the Free Nations of PostRussia Forum, I’ve not been able to find the exact version of the flag they use. From this image, I’ve been able to get the name of the proposed nation - Соедененные Штаты Сибири, which translates to the United States of Syberia. I have been unable to find any English, non fictional sources in English, but I have found one in Russian (though hosted on a server in the US), here. Quotes (translated by google translate, with some editorial oversight by me):

      The United States of Siberia is a non-existent hypothetical (under development and project) federal independent liberal democratic state of Rashki [Russia], which many of its supporters for “free Siberia” supposedly to quietly develop independently and no longer feed Muscovy [Moscow], Chechnya and all the other freeloaders.

      [Section] Separation from Faggots [derogatory for Russians?]

      On Rasey [Russia], many are surprised. Why would it be some fascist commies in the Scoop [USSR].

      This is only a small selection of what is present on the site.

      It seems the flag the folks at the FNPRF used looks something like this (with a extra stripe?)

      However, curiously, there have been semi-successful (?) though short-lived separatist movements in the area, establishing a Siberian Republic in 1918, in the aftermath of the Febuary revolution, which (at least according to wikipedia), have used this flag:

        Siberian Republic in 1918

        It was short lived SR attempt, ended promptly and pathetically deep into the colon of Kolchak and local landowners, beautifically proving Lenin warning that SR’s are just reactionaries.

          It was an attempt however, which is what is relevant in this context as by this it is far more legitimate than the group FNPRF decided to use, which speaks about the legitimacy of this organization.

        I laughed so fucking hard. As if I went to an article in LiveJournal or to some forum where libs are lurking.

        Classic Russian liberals - write this shit, then act surprised why population would rather support current oligarchy than your pathetic ass.

        Damn. The only thing I knew about Siberia was that Huskies came from there. This is enlightening information.

          Honestly I’ve gotten all that through simple internet searches. The most complex thing I’ve done here is translated a web page.
