a lot of them are the alt-right mirror images of our tankie edgelord teens, and a lot of people there are broken, toxic people and their parasites who exploit and humiliate them for sociopathic fun
it's gotta really suck for them seeing all these east asian and white former-shithole countries flourish. Mayo and Chang countries that were annihilated by invasions and war turning into relative utopias by the 1960s-1990s...
While their country remains a disgusting smelly violent shithole decade after decade....Anyone successful there in leaves unless they are ultra rich and can afford 24/7 security.
Their blame everyone but themselves excuses looking more and more absurd.
That’s true but also only really relevant because it provided the excuse for the Acts of Union around a century later which actually united Britain into a single political entity.
It doesn’t really detract from the point I think you’re trying to make though, since it was still primarily driven by the Scottish. They attempted several independent colonial ventures of their own, which largely failed, so it was part of a compromise that allowed them to buy into the far more successful English colonial program. They were bankrupt when England was becoming the wealthiest nation in the world.
Literally the only flaw with the British Empire was that we were too good at creating colonies, the U.S. being the prime example, but also Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Burma, India, Hong Kong, Singapore etc. Everywhere we touched bred excellence as compared to their uncolonised neighbours, or the shitholes that the Spanish, French, or Dutch called colonies.
We literally sent our worst prisoners halfway around the world to a barren desert with the most dangerous animals in the world, and 300 years later Melbourne is the most livable city in the world.
Any place with an abundance of Arable land is going to do well without external meddling. This is not an accomplishment. having a few million people in a fertile land as vast as America is always going to end up with vast excess of resources.
They could've easily stopped all that oppression shit if they just stopped simping for some guy in Rome and learned to speak english like everyone else
I mean, technically on the other side of the globe during the same exact year Napoleon captured the burned down Moscow, then retreated through the snow and lost like 90% of his forces and that's not considered a victory.
I'm just saying that the parallels are uncanny. You tell me if the Canucks who retreated with their tails between their legs actually got something useful from their "victory".

I think you're accidentally validating them by referring to them as "Canucks" fighting valiantly in some war of conquest at all, it was basically still just Britain.
I didn't say they won either. Sometimes nobody does.
I don't really care who claims they won as long as dogfucking Can*dians don't try to take credit for a British regiment from Essex burning down the White House

This shit fling over the war of 1812 shows the problem with viewing wars as games. USA failed the seize Canada, but met most of their goals since Britain stopped impressment, Indian raids were stopped and since Napoleon was defeated trade with France continued.

Burgers in that thread think that despite failing to take any Canadian territory, zero naval victories, and their capital burning, they actually won the war of 1812 (aka a minor theatre of the Napoleonic War, which Britain decisively won). Smh.
That would imply that it was an offensive war on the UK's part, which isn't true. Despite the land raids, the aim of the war was never to re-capture the U.S., the U.S. was considered lost by this point, and the majority of the British fighting force was focused on defeating Napoleon.
The objectives of the UK were to
Prevent American expansion into British Canada
Prevent the Americans from aiding the French
Have satisfaction for the Little Belt affair, and the deaths of British sailors
All of these were successfully accomplished.
The aim of the Americans during the war was to
Expand into Canada
defeat the Natives (armed by the British) as to enable expansion westward into states like Illinois and Wisconsin
unite Florida and new England behind President Madison's Jeffersonian and agrarian roadmap for the future of the country.
End the pressing of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy
Seek revenge for the Chesapeake-Leopold affair
The Americans were also successful in all but the first.
The British can boast a decisive victory at Washington, with the iconography of the White House in flames as a powerful image. Similarly, the Americans can boast of a decisive victory at New Orleans, that was reminiscent of the Revolutionary War, and gave many sons a taste of the same glory their fathers had in 1776.
To this end, I'd call it a draw, and was the start of an unprecedented peace between the two dominant world powers that would go on to make the world a better place.
Hey thats ok bud. you can give 'er another go if you want.
We'll never know for sure, but I'm personally convinced that had it not been for WWI, we almost certainly would've. Pre-War Imperial Britain vs Depression Era America was probably the last chance for a fight we could win.
But then the continentals started like 2 massive global conflicts in 3 decades, and we pretty much used up all our manpower, money, and global clout fixing those messes, so that was that.
we've been feeding michigan lead paint
Michigan is maybe the only place in the world where a few months of carpet bombing would raise house prices.

Also, Reddit finds burning down the White House funny and yet talks about colonialism being oppressive within the same breath.
