What it means

An anguished long-haired figure is shown between maps depicting the partition of Luxembourg and the territorial changes of Vietnam and Thailand. The joke compares historical territorial losses to someone knowingly sharing or empathizing with another person's pain, making it useful as a reaction to painful or unfortunate situations.
