We do shit on libs for doing stuff like this- I shit on them specifically, myself.
Difference between libs' maps and this though IMO is- for one, I think mine is hilarious, and had fun making it. But also, I'm not going about trying to fund or instigate separatists like this (though I won't lie- if I had the means to both do so, and have no repercussions- I meet neither requirement- I totally would), and certainly not/never terrorists and extremists the likes of which the west always does.
Dunno to what extent it's cringe in that context. Probably some, but I don't have much or any personal investment in these maps. I'd love to see half of it IRL, but there's no expectation unlike libs thinking they're going to carve up China, Russia, or (insert country here) "when they collapse, any day now..."
...also- while the borders tend to have some minor ethnic or historical context (not always) more than anything else, it's intended as a Euro-screw. And I'll never back down from such Euro-screws; at least I'm honest in that regard. The borders are less about "promoting democracy and equality by having a shit-ton of ethno-statelets and separatists" and more "let's screw England/France/Italy/west Germany to such an extent they will never wield the same influence again that they presently do." Which if you ask me, for shitposting borders on a map- or even IRL to a considerable extent- can only be a good thing.
