WTF are you calling me?
They're being a bit antisocial and I don't defend that, but they're referencing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes , an intelligence agreement among the anglosphere, and then saying you're from a vassal state of that alliance (really just a vassal of the US).
So “ig” means “inhabitant” somehow?
It means "i guess" you absolute boomer jfc
So you're calling me a vassal, you dork.
As a member of a vassal state, it makes sense to thereby call the citizens vassals.
Ah yes, as we all know, family, friends, and poverty doesn't exist. So everyone is either complicit or will immediately move to whatever perfect country you think exists.
Vassalage is a term describing social position, not a moralism. Your indignation at this has no bearing on the fact and you sound just like the morons who say white privilege doesn't exist because poor white people exist.
I'm only ever really antisocial against anglo bullshit anymore and this thread is full of it.
Socialists should seek to be pro-social in all contexts. Being bitter won't help you do anything but preach to the choir.
