If you Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire

[Animavore]

Jesus! A look at these guy's "history" books shows him up to be a history denialist.

You know it's bad when a 5 star review on Amazon says "The history of the (US) Civil War the liberals don't want you to know."

Svarty you had to have a pair to on page 3.

That 20% would be in Scotland. All Little Englanders love royalty.

No true Royalists....

OMG! I just actually watched that vid. How fucking offensive it is. The British saw themselves as "liberators"? Spreading "freedom" every where they went?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Look, it's not supposed to be history, it's supposed to be a justification for the new American Empire's coming war with China - the US are going liberate those yellow devils to within an inch of their lives.

Watching it made me think of a book that claims the Mongols enabled the Renaissance.

“Europeans experienced a Renaissance, literally a rebirth, but it was not the ancient world of Greece and Rome being reborn: It was the Mongol Empire, picked up, transferred, and adapted by the Europeans to meet their own needs and culture.”[1] In Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, Jack Weatherford portrays the Mongols as a civilization that espoused religious toleration, diversity, and military prowess.

I wonder how that sold in China.

Fuckin A. We got railroads to rebuild, and we can't use us Paddys any longer 'cuz we run things now, so Yellow Peril it is.

Mao used to say he never feared war with America because China could afford to lose a few hundred million people whereas America couldn’t.

Imagine having to think of shit like that for a living.

Given that Scotland voted to remain in the UK at their referendum, if we assume half of the 55% who voted to stay were more or less in support of the current status quo (at opposed to 70+ in the UK as a whole - well the figures speak for themselves. Not all little Scotanders are republicans.

"Scotanders"? A new tribe?
Like to see those figures. A nice presumption. The Scots want to stay in the EU. Fuck the UK.

Perhaps they prefer the Dutch model? It really is rather less of a democracy than little England from what I’ve been reading. The king, I read, who inherited the position from his mother, has a rather more active and undemocratic role in the governing of the Netherlands than the Queen does in the UK. Interesting read. .

OH, and as you are sinking to the depths you are, fuck the...nah - I won’t sink quite as low as that.

Once again your ignorance is clearly visible. He does not inherit anything and has no role in politics but ofcourse your reading abilities are very suspect even for a Little Englander. You cant even read my posts.

You dont have any form of democracy in the UK. Your first house is not even elected and dont talk about gerrymandering.

His mother was queen? He wasn’t elected? Black is white?

He is appointed by parliament. Stop being so thick.

42, you must now regret how you silly Americans abandoned the glorious Empire...

We did Brexit before it was cool.

He is ‘inaugurated’ by parliament as hereditary sovereign. It’s a fact Scotty boy. King with quite a bit more illegitimate power than queen Liz I’d say.

Scot Dutchy. Please stop insulting the people you disagree with. This is a reminder to play nice.

Once again IYHO which is not fact. He has no power. The last of it was finally removed before his appointment.
When are you lot going to have an elected first chamber? Talk about illegitimate power.

It takes two to tango Brian and I am not too fond of my partner.
