Commonwealth didn't exist until the 40s or 50s I think

2019-12-13 03:59:43 UTC  

I don’t know, it’s just a bunch of old colonies that still have some economic ties to the UK

2019-12-13 04:00:07 UTC  

well

2019-12-13 04:00:33 UTC  

Still, people will conflate Australia with Nigeria or vice versa depending on what suits them

2019-12-13 04:01:14 UTC  

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

2019-12-13 04:01:18 UTC  

But yeah

2019-12-13 04:01:39 UTC  

Ireland left? Didn’t know they were that salty over the empire

2019-12-13 04:01:51 UTC  

Irish are permanently salty over the potato famine

2019-12-13 04:02:07 UTC  

Most peoples in the world care about their history and how that places them in relation to other nations

2019-12-13 04:02:19 UTC  

Idk if Americans are exceptions to this or why they would be if so

2019-12-13 04:02:30 UTC  

Oh my fucking god

2019-12-13 04:03:59 UTC  

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

2019-12-13 04:04:23 UTC  

They are morally bashed by everyone to hate themselves for conquering the continent

2019-12-13 04:04:37 UTC  

So they change the narrative of America to be Neo liberalism

2019-12-13 04:04:48 UTC  

So it can include minorities

2019-12-13 04:05:46 UTC  

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

2019-12-13 04:05:49 UTC  

Not meant to be an insult

2019-12-13 04:05:54 UTC  

So yeah, when some dip shit pops off about *another grievance* America is going to hell for

2019-12-13 04:06:17 UTC  

I tell those people to shut the fuck up, which actually works pretty well irl

2019-12-13 04:06:30 UTC  

I don't think most people actually care that America colonised that part of the continent

2019-12-13 04:06:38 UTC  

Yes

2019-12-13 04:06:42 UTC  

Yes the shit libs do

2019-12-13 04:06:43 UTC  

Or rather, I don't think that's the biggest grievance

2019-12-13 04:07:02 UTC  

From American leftists I hear it's mostly about slavery

2019-12-13 04:07:24 UTC  

Yeah no I was pissed because I expected someone to relate to considering you were from Canada

2019-12-13 04:07:53 UTC  

For American leftists they talk about slavery a lot

2019-12-13 04:08:15 UTC  

Eh, we don't really get shamed about colonising Canada, although sometimes it comes up

2019-12-13 04:08:32 UTC  

But killing natives and annexation of land is 2nd or 1st depending who you talk to

2019-12-13 04:08:44 UTC  

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

2019-12-13 04:08:47 UTC  

People blame us for coughing on natives and label that genocide

2019-12-13 04:09:14 UTC  

I'm absolutely loving Stefan's twitter lately

2019-12-13 04:09:30 UTC  

so many salty degenerates getting pissed off at his tweets

2019-12-13 04:09:40 UTC  

Its hilarious

2019-12-13 04:09:45 UTC  

Yeah the Mexicans hate us to hell because of the Annexation of Texas and the entire south west United States @Leaf

2019-12-13 04:10:12 UTC  

Then they laugh that will all be conquered

2019-12-13 04:10:26 UTC  

To me, every nation has warred with other nations and annexed territory, so I don't really see it as something Americans and Canadians uniquely share but instead as something all nations share lol

2019-12-13 04:10:41 UTC  

The fact that we get uniquely shamed for it has more to do with the fact that we are white

2019-12-13 04:10:42 UTC  

They see mass immigration as reconqestia

2019-12-13 04:11:23 UTC  

So yeah they say we’re evil and satan and we have what’s coming to us
