It seems like their entire history was nothing but comically evil. Even the French had their moments of being the good guys.>WW2Bengal famine and other colonial crimes, not stopping the Nazis invade Europe until it was too late.
>>18464489Never. The British and the Germans are the two most evil nations in history
>>18464506It's fortunate they were stupid enough to fight one another. If they had teamed up, all of humanity would have been doomed
>>18464506at least the germans gave us some cool art, intellectuals, and sovl
>>18464489All those things are pretty much based, thoughever.
>>18464489they did spend 100 years suppressing the slave trade, doing more tan any other nation to stamp out the practise.also repeatedly stood against french and spanish tyranny, and yes both worlld wars OP is an anglophobe and a particularly stupid one at that, although there is no such thing as an intelligent rational anglophobe
Street shitter hands typed this.
Even the end of slavery was carried out for cynical reasons to undermine their rivals.
Yeah, plenty of times.They were a shitty, power hungry colonial and imperialist nation like many others. They are not unique in that; many of the people and places they conquered and colonised would have done the exact same had they been given the opportunity.But Britain is interesting because despite the screechings of some, they often did (eventually) come to be less extreme than other nations. They got a lot of their political and religious autism out of the way in the 17th Century LONG before others did, and their tradition of limitations on power allowed for a lot of seriously competent people to be in charge. There are examples of Britain being extremely retarded and needlessly "evil" right up to the end of the 20th Century, but they also at many points limited their own self-gain throughout history in order to do what is right.All this being said, Britposters are probably second only to Americans when it comes to overly sensitive and insufferable people on this website, so it's always funny to make fun of them.
>>18464950Bongs aren't the ones shitting up this place over their identity issues
>>18464952They are certainly the most common ones. Nobody tries to make this board into /pol/ with dates more than US/UK posters. They never even make threads about their own history, they just show up in other threads to cry if anyone says anything percieved as critical of Britain
>>18464489The Spanish were worse
>>18464965No, the thirdies and the diasporoids that want this board to be /int/ without flags are much worse
>>18464965What the fuck are you talking about? Virtually all of the screeching about other countries and peoples comes from third worlders, including you and this thread.
>>18464489>>18464506Samefag
>>18464993Sorry anon, I actually love British history, I'm particularly interested in 18th Century Naval History in Britain, the industrialisation of agriculture, the 100 Years War (particularly the reign of Edward III) and the English Civil War. You are doing exactly what I pointed out; someone says something even slightly critical of Britain in a historical context and you sperg out. Same as this autist >>18464968.Perhaps if Britposters spent more time making high effort posts or threads about British history you wouldn't have bad faith shitposters making fun of you 24/7.
During Puritan control
>>18464489>not stopping the Nazis invade Europe until it was too latePretty sure it wasn’t too late evinced by the fact that they won
>>18464965Anon, like a good portion of the catalogue is people constantly crying and seething over Britain. It is definitely not us making those threads, it's definitely not us making 20 threads schizoposting about Christianity nor half the catalogue claiming Hitler was a british agent, or that he was a good boy or that he didn't go far enough. You can judge by who is the target of assault over who is shitting up the catalogue. There is no seething over the french or ww1 germans or Danes so it is definitely not us making the shitty threads. Do not dare lump us in with Americans when we are perhaps some of the most history literate posters on 4chan.
It honestly saddens me they destroyed the empire, it could have been reformed as something good intead of outright destroying it.
>saar the bengal famining saardismissed
>But, but they fought against slavery After they and their best buddy forever Moortugal profited out of it more than anybody. I'm sure they did it for ethical reasons thought, those Asspainiards surely couldn't survive with all those 500k africans of theirs
>>18465197>taking a moral stand doesn't mean anything because it cost you moneyIt means more in that case retard
>>18465074Reminder we're posting in an /int/ thread seething about the britishers lol.
>>18465208I don’t give a shit about the money that the anglos didn't make when they stopped terrorizing Africa.What I care about is how they try to rewrite history, as if they suddenly, out of pure altruism and spontaneous goodwill, decided to fight against slavery. That’s complete bullshit. They try to paint themselves as if they stepped in to stop others from exploiting Africa, when in reality they and their BFF Moortugal were always the biggest perpetrators of the system. Their so-called “greatest action” was simply stopping themselves from doing what they had already done on a massive scale for centuries.It’s like if Hitlerl trying to present himself as a savior of the jews because he decided to fight Hezbollah who killed townsands of jews after Hitler himslef and his buddies killed millions. You don’t become a hero for ending something you were one of the main drivers of in the first place.
>>18464489History doesn't have "good guys" or "bad guys" on the scale of nations, the concept of "Just War" is mostly medieval theology-brained and suggests you are highly susceptible to propaganda or have a poor theory of mind. I suspect a lot of the hate for Britain from continentals is rooted in centuries of the Catholic Church smearing them. Historically Protestant nations consistently have a much more positive opinion of Britain.
>>18465408>Historically Protestant nations consistently have a much more positive opinion of Britain.
>>18464506>The British and the Germans are the two most evil nations in historyI love how when I try to search this on Bing, the first result is a page trying to change my view.
>>18465413Wartime propaganda is a separate matter. Even Hitler gushed about how awesome the British Empire is.
>>18465408>I suspect a lot of the hate for Britain from continentals is rooted in centuries of the Catholic Church smearing them. Yeah, if you look at French history, the biggest Anglophiles all had some grudge against the church while the biggest Anglophobes were all reactionary devout Catholics. In the case of Ireland, half their rebellion attempts were directly led by the church. And let's not even get started on the Spanish.As recently as the 50s, when Malta held a referendum to join the UK, the church threatened to refuse communion to anyone who voted yes (though yes won anyway).
>>18465214At any rate the amount of threads that get crossposted between this board and /int/ is absolutely absurd.
>>18465530/his/ was only made to put a stop to all the history threads made on /int/. Which is a shame because /int/ was unironically much better quality for history threads and flags mean third worlders and Americans get instantly put in their place
>>18465413He's right. The existence of the Orange Order was all about the Dutch-English friendship where they wanted to kill and purge as many Catholics as they could in the late 17th century
>>18465602The Orange Order didn't even exist until 1795 and didn't really have anything to do with the English at all.
>>18465422>Wartime propaganda is a separate matter. Even Hitler gushed about how awesome the British Empire is.The British government got taken over by jews and his opinion changed.
>>18465617How convenient. Were France, Poland, Czechoslovakia et al. controlled by Jews too? Did the Soviet Union temporarily cease to be controlled by Jews during Molotov-Ribbentrop? When he made multiple attempts to secure a peace treaty (after violating every other treaty he'd signed), was he suddenly okay with Britain being controlled by Jews?
>>18465612Then does it exist entirely in the UK these days and plaster the English/Ulster flag on everything it touches?
>>18465630It always existed entirely in Ireland, it was founded in Ireland, and it plasters the Ulster flag on everything because its primary goal for the last 100 years has been keeping Ulster separate from the Republic. They don't wave the English flag much at all, they're more likely to wave the Scottish flag (and even then it's not that frequent).
>>18465602>The existence of the Orange Order was all about the Dutch-English friendship The Orange Order began as an agrarian gang mostly focused on attacking Catholics. The Dutch angle is the Williamite landings in 17th Century Ireland, it's more to do with Ulster-Scots Protestants than England.>>18465630The OO mostly exists in Northern Ireland, it also has a significant presence in Scotland. They are far more linked to Ulster and Scottish Unionism than to anything English.
History doesn't favor the good or the bad, it just simply happens. In another world, our perspective of what's even moral would be different
Am I wrong in believing the Brits have a far better track record on slavery (and race, within their own borders) than the AmericansLike while I'm sure there was tons of cruelty in the Empire, I'm pretty sure Brits were quicker with dealing with slavery and were consistently less vitriolic with their racism than the Americans at home. I'm guessing this is partially because they had minorities going back a long time, and also because a "white identity" wasn't as central to Britain's culture and history as it was to America's
Disliking Brits and Anglos in general is the perfect litmus test to determine whether someone is factually or spiritually brown.
>>18464489>Bengal famineThis was good thoughImagine the current amount of jeets now if it hadnt happened
>>18465764it wouldve been the same
