I mean.

2017-09-28 09:29:17 UTC  

WW2 effectively killed the British Empire.

2017-09-28 09:29:21 UTC  

oh well, shit happens I guess.

2017-09-28 09:29:25 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017-09-28 09:29:27 UTC  

so Britain was too weak to maintain its Empire?

2017-09-28 09:29:30 UTC  

K.

2017-09-28 09:29:41 UTC  

We lost a hell of a lot of money, so the vast majority of our funding went to us and not our empire.

2017-09-28 09:29:44 UTC  

@Schrö Wrong

2017-09-28 09:29:45 UTC  

Hence why it fell apart.

2017-09-28 09:29:50 UTC  

I mean, that's how the world works.

2017-09-28 09:29:59 UTC  

Look at France

2017-09-28 09:30:03 UTC  

Look at Germany

2017-09-28 09:30:10 UTC  

Hell, look at Italy.

2017-09-28 09:30:19 UTC  

We were more than capable of maintaining our empires

2017-09-28 09:30:22 UTC  

It may not have been "the reason", but it was definetely the domino falling that started the chain reaction.

2017-09-28 09:30:32 UTC  

America was instrumental in dismantling the empire

2017-09-28 09:30:36 UTC  

I mean Empires just was not going to last, too much land to keep hold on, too many differing cultures and ethnicities, too many different languages and traditions etc, etc, etc.

2017-09-28 09:30:37 UTC  

All once homes of great empires that no longer exist.

2017-09-28 09:31:03 UTC  

And now we are left with nothing

2017-09-28 09:31:04 UTC  

>more than capable of maintaining our empire

2017-09-28 09:31:17 UTC  

We are told that Britain itself is a relic of the Empire

2017-09-28 09:31:23 UTC  

That would imply you were capable of dealing with anything that could prevent you from maintaining the empire

2017-09-28 09:31:23 UTC  

That we are a nation of immigrants

2017-09-28 09:31:40 UTC  

Well, that's what happens when socialists come into power.

2017-09-28 09:31:49 UTC  

And that we are at the behest of a global community of non-whites that wished us ill

2017-09-28 09:32:04 UTC  

I agree, Attlee started this

2017-09-28 09:32:14 UTC  

Salute and drink tea lads.

2017-09-28 09:32:31 UTC  

The collapse of the British Empire does not have anything to do with the ultimate cause of Britain being so minimal a player in the world.

2017-09-28 09:32:48 UTC  

That ultimate cause was the infiltration of leftist and socialist thought into Britain's political system.

2017-09-28 09:32:49 UTC  

1948 Nationality act

2017-09-28 09:32:50 UTC  

(Our equivalent of the 1965 Immigration Act in the US)

2017-09-28 09:33:09 UTC  

It ultimately does, it removed our material power

2017-09-28 09:33:36 UTC  

If anything, it denied the socialists who came to power an opportunity to exert their force and spread their ideals.

2017-09-28 09:33:49 UTC  

The Labour Party is led by an unabashed socialist who would destroy your country if he ever came to power.

2017-09-28 09:36:01 UTC  

The Conservative party has been dashed upon the rocks because so many people have been trying to put forward their concept of conservatism - which is frankly neoconservatism at best and neoliberalism at worst - that all of them tugging on the wheel caused them to ground.

2017-09-28 09:36:48 UTC  

What happened to the old server?

2017-09-28 09:37:02 UTC  

I'm currently reading about Franz Boas. Your intelligentsia of America effectively destroyed the Anthropological society and framwork

2017-09-28 09:37:26 UTC  

If anything, you should be grateful that the leftists were prevented from having a powerful empire completely subverted to their control.

2017-09-28 09:37:44 UTC  

The damage a socialist British Empire could have done to the world would have been immense.
