Looks more like the French to me, mate.
I’m black and most British territories didn’t outlaw slavery until the next centruy so no thanks…
I wish the British won the revolutionary war
I wish I remembered which episode that Dennis and Mac were dressed like this.
Watched it recently, S04E11
Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I’d gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.
Canadians are nice, so they are rewarded with a nice country.
Also, Africa.
Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.
hey, you broke it, you bought it. Now, maybe they should be doing something to fix this whole problem in the ex-British Mandate of Palestine they cause
UK man arrested for wearing plasticine t shirt
… Maybe not
Don’t quote me on this but America winning the war played a big part in the spread of democracy around the globe. If they hadn’t, its not clear the monarchy would have ever fallen.
It is a prevailing myth, but personally I am not sure I believe it. I don’t know if it is based on anything.
Ok so here’s the thing: If America lost the war, America would likely be akin to Australia. The UK used it’s North American colonies like they did Australia (that is, a place to transport convicts) so you’d basically be like Australia in that regard. You’d likely be like…cold weather Aussies.
Also:
- Australia would be…different? Maybe Dutch?
- We might not have had a French Revolution, or it may have been different, because a lot of the ideas from the American Revolution inspired the French Revolution.
- Since the French Revolution have rise to the idea of the modern nation state and Napoleon, we’d not have a lot of countries.
cold weather Aussies.
looks at Canadians
Huh.
Nah you’re like Polite Americans. You haven’t got the daredevil chilled out “Australia” energy.
Well yeah no, 'cause it’s cold here eh?
I mean it’s cold in New Zealand and they invented Bungee Jumping.
looks at Canadians
you mean i could have socialized healthcare, weed, and california weather? FUCK YOU BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH YOU SHOULD HAVE TRAITORED HARDER
These days, as a British subject, you’d be smoking crack in a hoody and knockoff Burberry cap, bruv.
laaaame. you used to be a real country. bring back the leaded face paint
It was one lot of Brits against another lot of Brits anyway. Basically one lot looked like the picture above and the other dressed like cowboys. Not during the war obviously. Afterwards when they went West and hammered the native people.
Simplified history speedrun.
Sorry, if im smoking crack I strip down to my undies and cover my self in butter. That’s just the way it is.
With the price of butter these days I think I would use rapeseed oil instead. Much cheaper to cover myself in.
That might be ok for you but I have standards.
don’t ever let no knife-twirling crumpet goblins come between you and your artistic process, King
Could you imagine the teeth of an English methhead?
The UK has free Healthcare and better quality of life so I’m pretty sure their teeth are better than most americans
Logically when you think of it this way that bullshit excuse of a derogatory assumption made by anericans goes out the window
americans lack education about the world outside of america and are so narcissistic and think they’re better than everyone else that they don’t even bother to try and learn about the outside world and when they do learn of the outside world and other countries having better quality of life than them they make up bullshit mental gymnastics and deny reality because they can’t accept that
So no your bullshit derogatory misinformed opinion is simply not true and is just a stereotype because you americans like to bully other countries like the schoolyard bully that likes to pick on others
We don’t have free dental on the NHS anymore - just discounted. But yeah, your dental health was basically assured. Cosmetic work on NHS didn’t really go any further than braces.
It’s not that we think we’re better than everyone else it’s that we know we are.
Don’t the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
I’ve not researched this, but I’ve heard it’s because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.
That basically means: no whitening.
Teeth are naturally yellowish
also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.
So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.
It’s like most things in America - if you’re doing ok then it’s great, and if you’re not then the rest of the country just pretends you don’t exist.
“Say, how is it that we got socialized medicine but me teeth still look like this?”
I’ll raise you
Socialised healthcare means they work and you aren’t left in pain. If you want them to look pretty go and fork out for private treatment.
It’s like most things in America - if you’re doing ok then it’s great, and if you’re not then the rest of the country just pretends you don’t exist.
That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don’t know), otherwise this country sucks.
It’s also because Americans will spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures for their preteens. Braces are not as common elsewhere. Europeans think a lot of Americans look like they have dentures because of this and veneers.
Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.
It’s pretty obvious that I meant healthier teeth. Which they have because they’re not avoiding the dentist as much. Because it’s paid for by insurance.
I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.
What myth?
UK gets free dental care through the NHS. Just not aesthetics.
Not completely true. Children get free care through the NHS. So do some other groups of people, often people on benefits can but not all benefits IIRC. NHS dentist availability is a growing issue here too.
There’s a lot of people who can’t afford dental care tbh. If you’re unemployed/disabled/whatever you qualify for free care, and if you’re in a good job you can afford it. If youre on minimum wage trying to make ends meet you dont qualify and cant afford it.
Not a myth and don’t speak as an authority on something you’ve never researched.
I’m so glad England isn’t real.
Oh it’s real and no matter where you live the English have probably pillaged it for spices they never use.
If they never use spices, what do they use for making curry?
Nah, my ancestors pillaged the fuck out of the English 💪😁
So much so that is the main reason why they have shit teeth.
What? It’s not like our berserker hordes stole their enamel or pushed back the invention of orthodontic surgery…
We took the ones with teeth and left the ones without teeth.
Oh! Right 😁
Spices were too expensive for most of the population. Except for the likes of the powdered, wigged gents above.
My ancestors only had beans on toast to look forward to when they got back from working in the mines.
You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire
You had a bed? Such luxuries, we had to sleep in the turnip fields while they were being ploughed.
You ad a bed!? Luxury!
Spices they don’t use?
What do you think tea is made of?
OTOH there won’t be half as many independence days
Counterpoint: Americans would have a higher average numbers of fingers.
Southern cuisine would be salt beef, white bread and Yorkshire tea.
I read somewhere that British people eat like they’re still living through the Blitz
Nah, that would be the northeast AKA New England. Southern Cuisine would probably be French and Mexican/Spanish food, the Louisiana purchase and a few American wars never happening.
Then again who the fuck knows what the colonial powers would have gotten up to without the US zealots taking over? 🤷
