The commonwealth includes **all** of the old colonies
So Nigeria and India are considered equal to New Zealand , Australia and Canada
not all
some left
America isn't in the commonwealth and never has been lol
Commonwealth didn't exist until the 40s or 50s I think
I don’t know, it’s just a bunch of old colonies that still have some economic ties to the UK
well
Still, people will conflate Australia with Nigeria or vice versa depending on what suits them
It's all the Dominions, Colonies and Protectorates of the Empire, excepting a few which left, like Ireland, and some countries which were never part of the empire and voluntarily joined the Commonwealth
But yeah
Ireland left? Didn’t know they were that salty over the empire
Irish are permanently salty over the potato famine
Most peoples in the world care about their history and how that places them in relation to other nations
Idk if Americans are exceptions to this or why they would be if so
Oh my fucking god
Yes America cares about its history and it’s relationship with other nations. Problem is that Americans (actual Americans of European descent) are cucked on their history
They are morally bashed by everyone to hate themselves for conquering the continent
So they change the narrative of America to be Neo liberalism
I think you're reading too much into what I said, the other day you expressed surprise that Canadians still care about their history and relations with other nations and today expressed surprise that the Irish care about their historic role in the Empire and since you're not the first American I've spoken to who expressed that disposition I just assumed it might be a fact of American culture
Not meant to be an insult
So yeah, when some dip shit pops off about *another grievance* America is going to hell for
I tell those people to shut the fuck up, which actually works pretty well irl
I don't think most people actually care that America colonised that part of the continent
Yes
Yes the shit libs do
Or rather, I don't think that's the biggest grievance
From American leftists I hear it's mostly about slavery
Yeah no I was pissed because I expected someone to relate to considering you were from Canada
For American leftists they talk about slavery a lot
Eh, we don't really get shamed about colonising Canada, although sometimes it comes up
But killing natives and annexation of land is 2nd or 1st depending who you talk to
The French hate us for conquering the French Empire, the natives we are mostly on good terms with but sometimes white liberals, Jews and some natives hassle us about it
People blame us for coughing on natives and label that genocide
I'm absolutely loving Stefan's twitter lately
so many salty degenerates getting pissed off at his tweets
Its hilarious
