The amertican people have been asking for some time for Britain to take us back. Thats how bad our government is-- we’d happily sign back onto the absolute dumpter fire of British government rule and it’d be a great improvement.
Don’t strive for not what you have. Strive for substantially better. Britain is a pos, no kings means no kings.
I be a dumpster fire of the stewards cost of baritone prominence, and I know what I understand and that’s where seven doth cost six one two in the back of yhr ninr snd that typo was on purpose, obviously.
Come on, Britain.
Please? We’re very used to “taxation without representation” now and its fine with us. Just give us a second chance and take us back, baby. it’ll be better this time – we’ve learned our lesson.Bro I am the 48th n 50th president, tf you on about? I represent a group of honest, trustworthy individuals representing the representatives of the government who make up the remains of the Illuminati and will be happy to take your banking information at a moment’s notice, I’ll have you know.
Absolutely top notch shitstirring.

The word “trolling” covers exactly this concept. Unlike the misused term Russian “troll farm”, which is more accurately a hostile foreign psy-op.
Whats brilliant is that more than one word can mean the same thing. It keeps things from getting boring.
Perhaps if anyone could get a good cup of tea in Boston, things would be a little more civil.
i happen to recall they do like to throw tea parties.
They use harbor water in the tea though
You mean they cold brew the tea in the ocean basin?
hipsters will buy anything if it’s sold whilst wearing plaid.
Honestly, right now I’d love to be annexed by Canada.
Or Denmark.
Like. I’d totally help make that happen.
Dane here. while your offer is flattering, we can’t accept as we have our own environmental problems to fix first. We don’t need another dumpster to clean.
But but but… You could clean Texas!
It would require a genocide to clean Texas of all their environmental issues. And as far as I’m concerned, genocide is wrong.
That implies massacring minorities
Genocide is only that when aimed at a race, not a locale
You are free to nuke the whole place by merit of their stance alone
Genocide is any group of people. A culture or national group, religious group, race, identity, or whatever else. If you’re identifying a group of people to destroy (not even just kill, but targeted destruction) that’s a genocide.
That definition is way too broad and ignores why the term exists. Genocide is a specific legal concept from the 1948 UN Convention, not a catch-all word for any group of people you decide to label.
The law only covers national, ethnical, racial, or religious groups because those are the categories that have historically been targeted for systematic annihilation. Political groups were explicitly excluded when the convention was drafted for a reason. If you just define it as any group you want to destroy, the word loses all legal weight and precision.
You can call mass violence against other groups a crime against humanity or a war crime—those are still incredibly serious—but calling it genocide just because it fits your personal preference is factually wrong. Precision matters if you actually want to talk about international law rather than just throwing around emotionally charged terms.
Do you have any actual legal basis for your definition, or are you just making it up as you go?
Yeah, and legally Trump wasn’t convicted of rape, because the court that convicted him had a definition that didn’t match the common usage, which the judge explicitly pointed out IIRC. Legal definitions are just that. They’re legal definitions, not the definition. Here’s the wiki page. It starts by saying “Genocide is the partial or total destruction of a human group, committed intentionally.”
Absolutely incorrect, lol.
Genocide is the deliberate attempt to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
What do you say it is then? Instead of going: “nu-uh!” at things
context often helps the thinkers to recognize the non thinkers
national
clean
You spell “excise” funny.
I vote we just let them have their independence. No need to inflict that on anyone.
This is fair.
What if we pay you to take us?
You couldn’t pay us enough to put up with your fucking yahoos. I think you’re going to need to figure it out yourselves.
America will always do the right thing, after they’ve tried literally everything else.
We don’t even try the wrong things. We just keep doing the same old shit we’ve been doing and wondering why nothing ever changes.
That’s the wrong thing…
America has only done the right thing once, and that’s joining WWII. They immediately fucked that up though, when they needlessly nuked Japan twice.
Yes, but then they made peace with Japan and brought it into full trade relationship with the world, and Japan became one of the top economies in the world. Germany the same via the Marshall Plan. All of this could have been accomplished without nuking Japan, but as I said, they have to do every wrong thing before the do the right thing.
Unfortunately, I’m kind of cynical now given the last 50 years. I really am not sure that the American’s are capable of doing the right thing anymore, despite countless examples of countries around them that manage to treat it’s citizens like people for the most part. The oligarchic structure has gotten it’s talons too far into the meat at this point, and it’s rotting from inside. The citizens have been whittled away from power so extensively that it might take a pretty bloody fight to change it. And given the level of technology dedicated to suppression of citizen power, and even outright rejection of the constitution boundaries that have worked back when they could do the right thing, I’m not sure it’s going to work.
So yah, I agree with you, today. I wouldn’t have agreed back when they were nuking Japan, because they did eventually do the right thing. And to be fair, Japan visited untold suffering on other countries. It’s hard to say if they would have capitulated without that display of overwhelming force. They sure didn’t seem open to it beforehand. But I guess we won’t know in this fucked up timeline.
Yeah buddy, death to America.
Wow, good reading skills. Do you need a pat on the head?
You’re literally not helping it happen right now. Get the fuck off the sofa.
He says from a sofa…
Any average Canadian has the same ability to take direct action and dictate their will over the US government as any US citizen… Virtually none.
This is because The US government has achieved nearly a total monopoly on violence. It’s also the same reason you aren’t out in Canada killing cops over the states treatment of your indigenous population. What, do you support the genocidal actions of the Canadian government…why aren’t you out there doing something about it?
Do you see how immature and naive that sounds?
Now, I’m not saying that violence never solves anything, just that it requires a level of political organization that does not currently exist to do any good. If there were an actual leftist organizations doing violent direct action right now they would just be used as a tool to validate an even more extreme response from the state.
Every Malcolm X needs an MLK to juxtapose the options for change to conservatives. As of now we don’t even have anyone close to MLK, mostly because the DNC are filled with center right stooges. Hopefully that changes soon, just recently there’s been a few actually left leaning politicians getting elected. So yes, people are working on the problem. Your hypocritical hysterics are not helping anyone, it just makes you feel less like a citizen of a country that is collaborating with the empire.
A big reason we don’t have a new MLK is because after MLK we functionally made it illegal to do what he did.
Not explicitly mind you. We just created red tape, new laws and regulations. Around what he did. So your free to do it, just expect you know your not free to do it in anyway that he did, or like he did, or adjacent to what he did. Etc and etc.
But you totally can do it!
Public rallying is extremely controlled now.
Well, a lot of what MLK did wasn’t really legal either. The big difference is that MLK had important allies in Congress and in the Senate that would go out of their way to aid and protect him. You really do need support in powerful places to rally against the state, even in non violent ways.
Having representatives that can shield your revolutionary actions is important even if you’ve given up on an electoral solution.
I can’t tell you how disinterested I am in reading another screed from a lazy, defensive, cowardly American. I’m sure someone will read that though 👍
Hypocrisy must be a hobby of yours considering you’re too lazy to read. You know what is worse than being in the evil empire? Being a happy pet state of the empire and somehow thinking you’re any better.
Standard MAGA-level ad hominem. America, everyone 👍
Another display of hypocrisy. Your entire argument is based on ad hominems you twat.
Ok but I want that sticker
Probably about half of us will find this funny as hell. I know I do.
The Scots are a bit more chill. With the English stickers, that’s what they call “banter” (i.e. essentially shitposting), but when you see a St. George’s flag, there’s always an edge of aggression to it.
Not that Scottish football fans can’t be aggressive, just that they refer to the Northern Irish sectarian conflict when doing so.
They just become more docile the further they get from Buckfast Abbey.
I’m down for being annexed just please
- Don’t be a country seriously considering electing Nigel Farage or the local equivalent
- Be careful how much you annex or you will get #1 eventually.
As a Canadian, I find this incredibly hilarious.

Aw fuck. What about us joke priests? Can I provide my own entrails or do they gotta be fresh (I do not want to go through that again)
Idk if you heard, but the king in the UK does not have absolute power anymore…
Still has all the money, though.
Maybe not, but that doesn’t mean he should be spared the guillotine
You kiddin’? I’ve been begging Canada to take New England as a province since y2k.
ngl tho, for all its difficulties the british medical system is straight up better than the american one, since the american one is basically “no system, fuck you get rekt” x.x
That one’s also a shithole
We were Bri’ish all along!
I wasn’t sure if they were talking about Boston or New Boston
Yeah, because the UK government is going such a bang-up job of running things. :|
At least we’re not being run by neutral Nazis. Admittedly it’s a pretty low bar but I think we just about passed over that one.
You are being run by fascists however.
Fascists who allow immigrants homes to be bombed, who target and criminalise minorities such as trans people, who abuse the legal system to silently change charges to terrorism because they were anti-genocide.
But hey as long as it’s Mussolini and not Hitler, you’re fine right?
Are you still not allowed to say free palestine?
Honestly, anything would be an improvement over the current shit-show. Also, the Westminster system of government seems to be a lot more robust in preventing the likes of Trump doing whatever the fuck they want without consequence. I’m convinced. Do it!
That blue guy better not be a Brit talking about colonialism. Come to think of it, better not be Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese either.
Or a Belgian king.
Belgian prime ministers lookin awful delicious
