@crick_ah: This is the classic "GOOD MIGRATION vs BAD MIGRATION" Chad meme about European migration history. *The Format:* Uses the Nordic / Chad meme face on the right with flags of the main former colonial powers: UK, Spain, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands. *TOP PANEL: GOOD MIGRATION* Map shows RED arrows going OUT of Europe to the Americas, Australia, South Africa, etc. The Chad face looks proud / smug / confident. This represents *European Colonial Migration (1492-1960s)*. Over 60 million Europeans left Europe and settled in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The meme labels it "good" because from a European nationalist perspective, this spread European culture, language, and population worldwide. *BOTTOM PANEL: BAD MIGRATION* Map shows BLUE arrows going INTO Europe from Africa, Middle East, and South Asia. The Chad face now looks sad / worried / crying. This represents *Modern Migration into Europe (2015-present)*. Millions of people from Africa, Middle East and South Asia migrating to Europe. The meme labels it "bad" because from that same perspective, it's seen as reverse migration into Europe itself. *The Joke / Argument of the meme:* The creator is pointing out what they see as a double standard / hypocrisy: Europeans colonized the rest of the world for 400 years and it was celebrated as exploration and settlement, but when people from those regions migrate to Europe now, it's treated as a crisis. Or, depending on who posts it, the opposite reading: It's ironic - Europeans did the exact same thing they now complain about. It's used by both sides to make opposite points, which is why it goes viral every few months. #geography #migration #History #europe #colonialism
