And about Anglo colonization as a whole, in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Burma etc.

It's highly unique in that they occupy but never mix with the locals, and always exploit the local population.

Those locals - Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians...
Where do you think those 'locals' came from? lol.

Also, the British Empire was completely reliant on using locals to be part of a hierarchy - e.g. the Raj,
>>
>>25508860
Empires mix with the locals: Roman, Mongol, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese etc. The British occupy but don't mix, they keep to each other, or turn into flaming faggots like
Oscar Wild.

The same thing is happening with Anglo-Americans, hence the queer mainline churches, who had to match the changing reality to keep their funders.

Never mixed.

Also all these Anglo writers that colonized Ireland are described as Irish while having 0% Irish blood. What's up with that?

India and Burma are worse off, China was worse off for a long time. The indigenous Canadians and Americans are worse off. I think you're talking about the Anglo colonizers themselves.

Ireland was worse off for centuries, maybe even today. Mental illness is insanely high.

Good adjacent one about the US specifically.

Short answer, is other colonial efforts were economic projects where mostly men went as military adventurers to administer specific industries. The English and (and dutch) were the only ones sending whole communities abroad as actual settlers, religious dissidents, people on the losing side of civil wars, ect. North america and Australia were also sparsely populated compared to Africa or South America before Europeans got there. India didn't become a state like the US or Australia because it was already full of people, not really suited for settling.

The Anglo-Irish lead is the clue.

There's was literally a distinct bunch of Anglo-Indian mixed people formed during the Raj.

Most are just are just described as Irish. We all know all Irish writers are English pedophiles but they hide their Englishness in shame now.

Dumb American confirmed.

I'm always amazed when you guys start talking about GB and Ireland as if they've existed in complete isolation to one another. That there was no free movement between them and there's no mixed ancestry. Absolutely bizarre way to think.

When you're retarded understanding of it is called out you shift to some bizarre point about Oscar Wilde.

One major downside of the Empire being so large is that I'm often uncertain what flavour of butthurt jeet a poster happens to be. I suspect you're an angry pajeet, but you could be any of a multitude of subhumans.

Currently reading this, it's a great first hand perspective of colonial military duty in India, the conquest of Sudan and the Boer war, as well as the sort of upper class elite hob-nobbing and politics that the empire organised itself with. Also witty and self-aware.

LOL, what garbage. The Brits intermarried with the Indians and embraced their culture, notably the fashion for "chintz" (pic related,) which persisted until the 1970s.
And even today, no British high street is complete without a curry house.

His "history" of the Second World War is little more than an arse-covering exercise. He didn't even write much of it, but supervised a team to do it for him.
There are some insights into the high-level politics and diplomacy of the period, and many interesting transcripts of memos and telegrams, but on the whole it should be thought of as a personal memoir, nothing more.

You lost it, that's why you seethe to this day. Anglo colonization sits on 30 million sq km, Israel took back 30 thousand. Arabian colonization sits on 13 million sq km, Israel claims 30 thousand.

It's specifically because of English and Norman admixture that Irish and English people are nowadays genetically indistinguishable from one another. By the 1600s the only differences between native Irish and Anglo-Irish were language and religion, not breeding.

You Indians are still subhuman even today, even after the hundreds of years we put into trying to make you into decent, civilised human beings. There is nothing in India that matches for quality the British architecture and infrastructure which we put there, you've done nothing but degrade what we left behind for you, and built absolutely nothing for yourselves. Perhaps we must offer a profound apology for forcing you people to stop burning your wives alive if that's so important in your fantasist little mind. Nationalistic, superstitious, irrational, emotional, loud, filthy, disgusting little creatures. The British Empire was the only drop of civilisation ever to touch your arid patch of dirt, you'd do well to remember that.

One Fine Day covers what was going on in various parts of the empire on the day it reached its maximum extent, and how things got to that point. Parker writes everything in a way that really makes it clear exactly how all these bad things that are happening are the direct result of the British being there. I'm a chud and even I couldn't help being put off, especially on the opening chapter covering the destruction of Ocean Island, and the colonization of Kenya.
