        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.

        Your make-believe country

        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.

          Spare me this sanctimonious “Me and the Palestinians are as brothers against the imperialists” canard, Paul Ma’ud Dipshit. You fuckers caused this whole situation with your dumb shit “British mandate of Palestine”, and now you want to extremely caucasianly hop in and claim the good guys. 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.
