https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Relationship
Do you Americans and Brits actually feel a stronger connection to each other than to other countries?
Well, yes, we're all white, innit?
We have nothing in common with the darkies.
>>74894199
France, Germany, Netherlands, etc. are still white for a few more decades too though.
>>74894076
share the same language, that helps a lot.
beyond that? russia is pretty based being our adversary for so long but they don't even have the same character set for writing.
Same language helps, and is probably the biggest thing. Canadians are probably alright, but here they're retarded.
Like Aussies more.
Yes. At least we like sempai, but he ignores us a lot.
Same Goverment types and basically the same interests in the modern world. empire days we were suspicious of them
>>74894076
The Special Relationship, you mean the one-way relationship which benefits the USA and sees the UK acting as a subordinate, vassal state in the vast majority of the "special interactions".
American people are mostly okay, but fuck your ruthless, hypocritical government and corporations.
>>74895294
>empire days we were suspicious of them
That's why you tore it to pieces I assume. A sick man is much easier to trust (and bully).
If Trump wins this is over I'm afraid because Cameron would rather be a cuckold and have us blanda up with the rest of the EU than the leader of a western nation.
No.
I used to think we were similar when I was young, but I realised there's a world of difference and we have more in common with mainland Europe.
Since the US has been openly interfering in the referendum, you yanks can all fuck right off.
This is our vote, not yours. Get your own affairs and your own subhuman overlord in order first cunts.
We have more in common with them than just about anyone else, so yes.
>>74895702
>Since the US has been openly interfering in the referendum
If by the U.S. you mean jewish Wall Street banking interests, then you are correct. Average Americans could know or care less, unfortunately, but ideologically at least, conservatives support self determination and power concentrated at a local level, or with the people, rather than a massive dictating centralized bureaucracy.
>>74894076
We probably have more in common with the Aussies and Irish and y'all probably have more in common with them canadians.

I spend so much time online and watching American media I literally forget I am not an American, and when I try to talk to people in real life I am always using american measurements and terminology and confusing them.
The reason that the US and Britain are so close is because both are utterly dedicated to make the most profitable decisions in spite of how upset it might make the rest of the world.
Imagine a scenario in which a machine gunner overlooks a shallow trench. His enemies in the trench always stand right up and expose themselves to his fire, getting shot every time. When this happens, they shout "Play fair, you cheater!" Then, one day, the machine gunner hears gunfire coming from the other trench. To his surprise, however, the gunfire is not coming from somebody standing upright. It's coming from another machine gunner who, miraculously, has decided not to stand up. This other machine gunner is busy shooting all of the allies of the first gunner, as they also don't understand that they shouldn't stand up. So what does the first machine gunner do? He crawls along the flank and nestles right up to the second machine gunner. How did he not get shot? Because the second gunner became so used to shooting at upright figures that he didn't even notice the man crawling right up to him. The pair then become de facto allies, shooting the ones that stand up, doing it in the name of common sense.
Goes back to our troubled history, the fact that without Britain there wouldn't be an America, and all the wars we've fought together in. The bond is very real and our countries do take precedent over others.

They have just as every right to stick their noses into our affairs as we do with theirs. Look at John Oliver (the current year man), Piers Morgan, and that Scottish lady who made the "Ban Trump from the UK" petition to Parliament.

>>74898057

>>74897835
this goes back to basic cuckulus so I'll try to explain it. we've been cucked for much longer, yes i'll agree. imagine the United States in a cuckcar going 40 miles an hour. naturally we're going to be a little further down the cuck road because we started out earlier. however your country just recently started their cuck car and are cruising at a steady 70 miles per hour. you're soon going to surpass us in this race.

Because America has significantly more power than Britain. It's not like Americans are uniquely nosy or something.

>It was in Algiers that the beginning of Powell's distrust of the United States began. After socially mixing with American military officials that he met and exploring their cultural views of the world, he became convinced that one of America's covert war aims was to destroy the British Empire. Writing home on 16 February 1943, Powell stated: "I see growing on the horizon the greater peril than Germany or Japan ever were... our terrible enemy, America...."[6]:75 Powell's suspicion of the anti-British Empire demeanor of the U.S.A. Government's foreign policy continued for the remainder of the war and into his subsequent post-war political career. He cut out and retained an article from the New Statesman magazine published on 13 November 1943 in which the American writer and diplomat Clare Boothe Luce said in a speech that Indian independence from the British Empire would mean that the "USA will really have won the greatest war in the world for democracy".

This will always be the saddest thing. America had all these grand but naive thoughts of self-determination for everybody, even people who weren't ready or suited for it, and because WWII made you so powerful and the European Empires so broke we had no choice but to do things your way. You've wised up a lot recently, but the dismantling and collapse of the European Empires will remain one of the biggest fuckups of the 20th Century and the cause for pretty much every global problem we have today.
Imagine the glorious fucking unbeatable Anglo Empire we could have been sharing now if the Anglosphere and the Empire had joined together again. But we forgive you, America. Just put things right. You're the only ones with the power to do so now.

There it is. First you come out pretending that we're obviously evil beyond a reasonable doubt. Then when you can't defend your position you change your statement and start saying that we're evil by your specific, arbitrary definitions. First we're evil schemers who pulled you into a war for no reason, now we're Jews. You might call it the same thing, but that only reveals how you came to your flawed position to begin with.
Why can't you faggots just lead with a disclaimer that reads "The following opinions are irrational unless you believe that Hitler did nothing wrong"? I hate to imagine that reasonable people would actually think that you're credible just because you hide your biases like a rat.
We're the USA's bitch, which therefore makes us Israel's bitch, which kinda sucks.
I genuinely like American people, but there's no denying that the USA is the single biggest cause of and spreader of degeneracy that the world has ever seen. Hitler was right about Hollywood, and it's got infinitely worse since then.

I had an American lecturer at university, too. He was similar- very stilted and just seemed empty behind the eyes.

Europe caused two world wars in the first half of the last century. You barbarians are damn lucky that we stole power from you. If it weren't for that, you'd have just extorted Germany for money again and ruined everything. Who cares that certain war-torn hellholes went on to be war-torn hellholes in spite of our interventions?

Just stay out of the biggest cities and you won't even see a Muslim. That's what any sane native does. Not only are urban areas multikulti but they've lost any and all character at the hands of rampant consumerism as well, they're just as full of Starbucks and Apple stores as anywhere in America. I find everywhere I go to be like this actually, whether in Britain, other Euro countries or the US and Canada. Rural areas are always vastly superior.

You know that the British Prime Minister David Lloyd George was actually against the harsh reparations because he wanted Germany to remain a viable trading partner, right m8? And the most influential critic of the reparations was the British economist Keynes?
The WW1 reparations were mainly pushed by France, which is understandable because their country was the most damaged during the war.

Who cares? It's what you did. Add those people onto the list of people who would have prevented you from ruining everything. Then observe that we are at the very top of that list, with the name "United States of America" written in beautiful golden text. We offered you people the Fourteen Points and you refused them. You were one of the most important powers of the war, a country that currently berates us for not playing enough of a role in it. You had every way to stop the reparations and you didn't. It would have been a similar mistake for us to have left you people in control following World War 2. One that we didn't make.
