This is an old imperialist chestnut. We’ve heard it all before. As I said here, it is one reason we sympathise with our Palestinian friends: we both have imperialist fucks like you telling us our country is make-believe.
This is like a new level of playing victim.
Britain’s economy is three arms conglomerates in a trench coat and your slapdash schools and hospitals are currently in the process of falling over. The suicide rate is through the roof, people are freezing to death in the winters and the immigration gestapo are snatching people into vans to be deported to concentration camps in Rwanda. Your rivers are full of cocaine runoff and everyone’s depressed. You people have been thoroughly immiserated by authoritrian capitalism, and now you’re acting like Cybertruck guys, lashing out at anyone pointing out that you’ve been lied to.
Also, you fuckers caused this mess with your British mandate of Palestine bullshit. Your country still worships Winston “I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes” Churchill, the miserable drunken fuck who created the Bengal Famine, killed a hundred million people, and said of it "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. They will breed like rabbits, famine or no. Toad Hitler is your national icon, you depressed cryptocurrency peddling royalty-sniffers have negative business lecturing anyone about anything.
I’m just gonna be honest, you’re being cringe right now. “No it’s not my fault I mistook this person’s nationality, it’s their fault for coming across to me as the wrong nationality” — no, just own up to your mistake, for God’s sake, it’s not hard. Preferably you wouldn’t have made the mistake in the first place — you might’ve even been able to avoid it if you’d just read more carefully, given it even a second longer of thought, and weren’t so quick to make assumptions.
Please don’t think that I’m necessarily agreeing with your stances and attitudes and so forth, but do think that I find ShimmeringKoi to be kind of embarrassing right now.
How do youfigure that? It was the Brits and the U.N.
Your country still worships Winston
Again, showing your ignorance. Churchill hated us. He ordered the Black & Tans in here, who murdered three of my own relatives. He is a deeply reviled person here and in India.
The arrogance of Yanks is infinite. They think they can lecture people about Palestine/Ukraine/Tigray, when they can’t even find countries on a map.
The one hammer in their thick minds is they black/white hammer, which makes no sense for interpreting 90% of things, e.g. authoritarianism in this case.
Your make-believe country has a hereditary monarch and human shit in the drinking water, you are recused from adult topics.
Really leaning into the “no knowledge of the world” thing
Back when we had kings prior to colonisation, they were elected, could be recalled, and were not hereditary.
Don’t know what you’re on about with the shit reference.

I believe the person you are speaking to is Irish.
Thanks, that makes it weird as fuck that they’re going to bat for Thatcher Island
Wasn’t it obvious from the literal start that that person was Irish‽
Go easy on them. These people can’t point to countries on maps.
Take time out of your day and think about why you come across br*tish
You have laid bare how your mind works: “If someone’s not from the USA they’re from the UK”
Learn a bit about the world before talking about it.

Literally no, what kind of weird ass non br*t says yank every sentence
*exasperated sigh*
Have you just learned that there’s more than two possible countries for a person to be from? 🤣🤣
The Bull McCabe for starters
Literally no, what kind of weird ass non-brit uses Yank every sentence?
I think because they mod !noyank@lemmy.ml.
ETA: What a stupid, unproductive, corrosive thread this fucking was.
I only just realized that “ETA” in Internet comments stands for “edited to add”
When did I say anything like that? 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody mentioned Britain, like?
The reading comprehension on ye, honestly. Imagine being this thick and still trying to lecture foreign countries on their poltics and history.
How do youfigure that? It was the Brits and the U.N.
