I think it was just Libya and Ethiopia

I love how the British invaded Ethiopia and didnt bother to colonise it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Expedition_to_Abyssinia

But in general the Italian empire project was stupid

They were nowhere near good enough to actually make anything of it

But muh $45 trillion fron India

and yeah the Africa colonising was mostly for Dick measuring and anti-slavery

as well as diamond mines for Companies like Rhodes

but muh Koh-ri-noor

But yeah in hindsight the empire wasnt really worth it

Purely economically I mean

ehh the motive varied quite widely on where and when your talking about

eg. In India it was mainly about wealth but in Africa it was more for morals

esp. for slavery

But there was usually at least 1 eye on more material concerns

If not economically it was to dab on the other Europeans

Or some regional commander doing something spicy because he was bored

Thats how the Zulu wars started

I cant imagine the winds will stop blowing in the seas around England

All the bushes and trees in Cornwall are pointing the same way cos of all the wind

ewww Frogs

Interesting how all of the Uranium is in former British dominions

well tbf Fukushima was a bit of a mess

Yeah i know by i cant blame them for being nervous about it

Theresea may's platform of screw the old, kill all the elephants and the foxes was bizzarre

Well if they adopt the liberal, tolerant mindset then they are liberal and tolerant

I think China's influence will grow until the west starts to band together and then it'll crash and burn

That's the companies decision but eventually the governments will swing hard against it

nah there is definitely an undercurrent of worry

It'll flare up sooner or later

I thought we said no to that

ffs Boris

I heard it was under review

bah so long as we dont run all our defence shit on it

But China's influence is only so long as they can tell us cheap shit and so long as we have naval dominance they can't do much

the more i learn about the internet the more I dislike it

as I said I'm starting to hate the internet

My only consolation is at least I'm not in a totalitarian shithole like China

The DUP deserves to be thrown under every bus coming

It depends what whacky shenanigans corns gets up to

Corbs

No use speculating we might as well just wait and see

Tbf a 2nd referendum with no remain would be hilarious

Why do remain arguments always come down to condescension?

So does a modern uni education

Calm down facist

Who cares anyway a dumb person has as much right to decide the course of their country as a smart persob

Yes they do

Imagine actually thinking this

So the EU =facist

Glad we sorted this out

Well fascism is always authoritarian

I'd trust their judgement over yours any day

Wow I must admit that police can actually be quite effective when they want to be

Well Saudi Arabia managed to get there so I wouldn't be surprised

I would be if I was Farage

Oh god max Stirner is here

Nah there's no chance he'll be pm

I'm not a massive fan tbh, seems like a raging egoist

I think pragmatically Boris' deal is our best shot of leaving

It's almost as if authoritarianism is a bad thing

Citing China as a good example of governance

It's great so long as you aren't the vast majority of people

Also Opium wars

Liberalism really is the winner of history

I mean if its an Alex Jones narrative it'll be proven true in about 5 years time

Nah he definitely won't

He'd sacrifice his own children to delay Brexit for a day

He's idiotic, he's burnt through the entirety of his credibility, his goodwill and his legacy

When he blocked a poll of no deal in parliament @PureEvilPie

Contempt of Parliament is the default positions nowadays

Everybody hates them

Hypocrisy is at the max in here

I just want to grill for gods sake

Ehh I don't like the EU but it's miles better than PRC

England is the only country with a significant democratic legacy

The rest of Europe was authoritarian until very recent history

I mean I have no problem with the EU once Britain is out of it

China is gay

Why are there so many self-confessed psychopaths in here

lol the people in here is enough

lol it's the oposite for me, I find it really hard to be a dickhead even in video games

my conscience just squirms

nah I probably wouldnt either

If you break into someones house you're fair game in my eyes

esp. if my family is in that house

yeah @Pax Britannica I'd hate to be in the position of actually having to defend myself from a break in, but I wont condemn someone who has actually been in that situation

like that guy that knifed the gypsy burglar

ehh guess we'll never know unless it happened to us

Conceptually I don't think i'd lose sleep, but I hope i'll never have to find out

Death penalties a tricky one

I don't like it from an ethical perspective, but if someone killed one of my family i'd want them dead

oooh we have an edgy boi here

However with a society with laws, those laws must be built on a societal ethic

and as we live in a society, we have to determine what we believe to be ethically sound

plenty of murderers in the world that combat your point

helping society is part of someones morality

and I was distinguishing ethics from someones personal morality

though they are linked
