This is more apt than the russian version of this meme because Israel literally builds wall bubbles like this in the west bank

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It's not entirely off base about Russia.

Worse than the settlements are the fenced roads going to the settlements.

They build a settlement 20 miles from you but the road crosses your land? Well now you've got to travel 40 miles to get to the other side of your field 100 yards away.

What's that? They built another settlement on the other side of your land, and then built a road between the 2 settlements? Now you're surrounded by roads with fences you can't cross.

Yup, a 2 min walk becomes a 30 min commute.

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Lmao it’s actually really funny

Thanks, was going to ask the same thing. Before reading the text in OP, I thought this was going to be about gerrymandering.

As far as I can tell from a cursory Google search is the original said "Russian neighbors"
