I made the mistake of saying something similar during english class(cant remember what it was exactly) and i just felt everyone staring at me lol. I think the teacher agreed but kinda tried to brush it away as my comment was kinda out of line but true.
There are loads of racist anti British posts here. It wouldn’t be acceptable the other way around so fuck it.
Huh, it’s almost as if “punching up” by making statements denigrating oppressors isn’t the same as “punching down” by making statements denigrating the oppressed.
Truly, landlordism runs deep in the blood of all sons and daughters of Perfidious Albion; not a soul can escape the grip of their ancestors’ deeds, like Lovecraft finding out his pure Anglo bloodline was tainted with the W*lsh and being consumed with an urge to speak evil tongues with too many consonants😔
You know, I almost addressed that insinuation of yours in my previous comment, but (perhaps naively) let it pass in hopes that you’d actually engage my point in good faith instead of doubling down on your rhetoric. So much for that.
Just FYI, criticizing the policies of the 17th century English government not is “racism.” Your attempt to conflate it with bigotry against the English people is a lie, and your pearl-clutching over your false victimhood is uncivil.
Let me guess: you think criticism of Israel is “antisemitism” too, don’t you?
I think people would be better able to see your point if you actually took the time to lay it out, rather than just screaming “racism” into the abyss fifty times.
With which parts of this post in particular do you take exception?
From my perspective, it seems to me that you are conflating hatred of the objectively cruel and callous British imperialist government (and the rich landlords who were rewarded by it) and the policies thereof (which, along with similar policies from other countries toward those they deemed lesser than themselves, led to most of the modern geopolitical problems of this godforsaken world) with hatred of people of Anglo-saxon descent.
Frankly, I can’t tell if you’re trying to make a genuine complaint poorly, just screaming out in bad faith, or if you are truly so incapable of divesting your identity from the governance of England from hundreds of years ago that you’re defending imperialist spoils systems.
I personally am leaning towards the second interpretation, because the one thing you’ve repeated in every one of these comments is that, if anti-british “racism” is allowed, then ALL types of racism must be allowed. It sounds like you’re really itching to say something really racist, but need to hype yourself up with an excuse to do so.
I’m English and agree with OP. What we’ve done to countless nations over the past few centuries is fucking deplorable, all in the name of racism and wealth hoarding. Sure, it was nothing to do with me, but Brexit tells me that I’m surrounded by fuckwits who would gladly oppress other countries all over again in the name of British ‘superiority’.
Did you know that independence from British rule is the leading cause of national holidays across the world?

This is hilarious

Yes, that’s the joke.
