Part of me thinks that parts of SA are allowed in because of how many Germans fled there. I hope I’m wrong

knowing this absurdly evil reality, you're unfortunately probably right

[-] commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

The trope that "German's Fled to Latin America after the war" is overinflated anti-Latin American propaganda at this point. The US and broader west took in just as many if not more Germans who fled.

I think it also has to do with the Schengen deal and making it easier for Latin American tourists to visit Spain and Portugal, as well as Rome which is a highly regarded tourism location for Catholics.

I think the same map mostly applies to all other EU countries, though your max stay is 3 months with no permits.

Thank Goodness, I was a bit spooked at first lol

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

That was my first thought as well.

[-] frippa@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That was my thought as well, didn't know how to articulate it (cough cough, expecially Argentina)

Absolutely haunting how many countries are marked yellow on this map.

[-] AssaultRifle15@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

It's sad how many countries are doing absolutely nothing to protect their citizens from exposure to Germany.

[-] frippa@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

A high exposure to Germany can be lethal, in 1939 a German epidemic killed millions of people. Fortunately the USSR and the "free" world found a cure (lead)

Disagree. We must all have the ability to visit Karl Marx

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Honestly with what they pulled in 33 they shouldn't even be allowed to require visas. Anyone can move to Germany at any time.

You laugh but the "reunification" (more like annexation) of Germany really was the end of an era. After the war two different countries with two different systems were made, administered by different countries too. Then imperialist interests won in 91 and Germany was suddenly allowed to take control over their own affairs. What good was giving control of Germany over to France, the UK, and the USA? Because it was only ever about imperialism.

It's too bad I'm colorblind.

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

here you go, should be easier I think

[-] VanitasTheUnversed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's... Beautiful 🥲

[-] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Most of the countries in red are far too kind, they offer German passport holders visa free entry.

Venezuela has a bilateral free entry agreement with all EU countries+UK except Andorra.

What he said.

The EU refused the US sanctions because they also needed oil.

Though its not entirely subversive, from what I can read, it was also not to appear hypocritical with the EU demanding that the US drop the Cuban Embargo, only for them to go and make an embargo of their own.

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The EU believes that the 2018 Presidential elections were rigged and not democratic, but all they did was ban arms shipments and put a travel ban on 55 government officals.

Other then that, the EU has surprisingly good diplomatic connections with Venezuela, and still does a lot of trade with them, along with sending them humanitarian aid. Further, the EU refused to implement sanctions that would harm the civilian population (IE something like the Cuban Embargo). Because of that Venezuela has remained amicable with the EU.

That's interesting, thanks for the detail.

This is quite literally !alwaysthesamemap@lemmygrad.ml

Surprised that you actually don't have an emoji for this on Hexbear

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I zoomed in and I'm pretty sure that South Africa is a solid red.

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

For most people. Government workers and their families practically have indefinite Schengen visas.
