MODERATORS
They are just so deserving of disdain. They are responsible for many of the world's problems, modern genocides, and they worship inbred assholes who steal from them. Then these chuckle fucks, in a classic Euro trash racist move, decide that all of their problems were the fault of "outsiders" and removed their island, devoid of resources and opportunity, from a larger economic block in an attempt to return to their inbreeding practice to its glory days. Really, what positive impact or contribution have they ever made? They should be roasted at every opportunity.
We pioneered the Industrial Revolution, invented pretty much all the best sports, and now we’re pioneering post-capitalist collapse too.
Like I said, responsible for many of the worlds problems.
Disdain for an entire country of diverse people based on the (stupid, bad) actions of the minority in power is a bit much...
Except they worship those "minority" of people. Look at how proud those morons were of standing in an hours long line to honor a piece of shit like queen Elizabeth dos.
Yeah, what have the English ever done for us?
Apart from the steam engine, World Wide Web, etc etc.
Britanes Eunt Domus
I don't know if claiming an invention that was the work of many overtime and a web browser makes up for plundering and enslaving much of the world.
All the other countries killing and enslaving all around the world: "we should have done inventions too?"
No one ever said it did make up for it, I was just answering the question you asked.
Ha, fair enough.
Reminder that there was never an actual majority for Brexit, let alone the hard brexit that we ended up with, and our politicians continue to pander to a minority of extremely hateful right wingers for reasons that escape the majority of the population.
52% isn't a majority?
People did not think it was in danger of passing so they didn't go vote. Others pretty immediately said they had voted exit as a protest and because, again, they didn't think it would pass and it was non-binding.
Polling made it pretty quickly clear the vote was a fluke. But they ran with it like a mandate from a super majority. Even as it became even less popular through the years it took to negotiate Brexit, when they could have cancelled it at any time.
52% of turnout, which is 72.21% or eligible voters, which is only ~71% of the total population.

I don't how that demonstrates a positive impact or contribution to the world. Look at the state of most of people they plundered for centuries, they don't seem to be benefiting much from that list.
But enough about Americans!
It really could apply to damn near any Western European country or country run by the descendants of its colonizers. Imagine that.
So many downvotes..I thought taking the piss was a British national sport? Or is that still just fox “hunting”…
Ha, downvotes are OK and, in some cases, arbitrary. I did come out the gate pretty hard in this case, but I stand on it. I've been downvoted for dumber shit like asking what people are doing about wrinkles if they aren't ironing their clothes, which I couldn't understand, but it's all meaningless.
