How are you greater than Britain? I hate this meme, because it only looks into the current year.
Britain has built a massive Empire, that has formed modern civilisation. Without this Empire, half the world would still be tribal and petty. Britain has made the greatest innovations and scientific achievements, along with Germany. America is a close second, of course.
Honestly, America isn't the greatest nation in history (and if we include nations like Rome and their Empire, then you guys are really wrong).

We more or less run the entire globe, all without using brute force (except as a last resort.) The British empire was just a collection of random countries that were weak enough to let themselves get conquered.

Step one: realize you are weak, tiny and isolated. At this point in your history you just got done paying taxes to semi-occupying Scandinavians you could not oppose.
Step two: given step one, your only defense option is UNIVERSAL ARMAMENT. Every man is a soldier. Maybe he's not mobilized at the moment but every man Jack is part of a huge ultimate reserve. This is the yeomanry, called in America the militia.
Step three: from the widest possible candidate pool (see step two), encourage competition and the maintaining of high skill.
Step four: be so good with a bow and arrow that the French give up being what had been the best heavy cavalry in Western Europe and opt for just building really, really good castles.
Step five: Portugal's Prince Henry develops a "skunk works" to concentrate and accelerate research into making the best possible sailboat. Befriend Portugal so you can steal their tech.
Step six: limes.
Step seven: Keep carpenters and raw materials on every warship so that even as other navies try to knock you down, stuff is getting fixed.

Except you don't. You don't run the world. I really don't understand this meme and when I ask people to explain they normally respond with basic facts like, 'America has the biggest GDP in the world' or 'America has the largest military force in the world', without actually explaining why that makes them control the world.
As for America using 'soft power' - that's silly. In the Rankings, America is THIRD for Soft Power, whilst Britain is first: http://softpower30.portland-communications.com/ranking
Now, that doesn't necessarily, mean Britain is the most powerful - we certainly can't do as much in wars as America can, but we don't need to since wars are differently now - but we are still equal in power to America.
But seriously, explain to me why America runs the entire globe, all with using soft power. I'd like to know.
Oh, and also - Britain had a large soft power index at the height of its empire, since it literally controlled the sea, thus it controlled the trade routes of the world. America can't do that, and I can't think of a time when it could.

>>75311494
I agree that nations rise and fall but nevertheless their contribution must be judged. And english liberal thinkers like Locke are just worthless pieces of crap. Look what is left of Britain now
Britain was able to seize any wealth that peasantry had. It successfully employed children to work in coal mines. Britain created a new powerful force, the proletariat. Finally it was able steal and divide the wealth of the catholic orders. Modernity is pretty much one social force dominating the whole country for a while, exploiting others. This was the case with british peasants. They were robbed and exploited mercilessly by the british elite that was able to finance colonialism thanks to that. But when the poor stood up against the rich, liberal elites the country had to become what it's now - torn apart, wasting the reserves it has left, where fucking communism is still popular

Mongol, although big, didn't leave a massive impact. It's only something to be marvelled at.
The British Empire is the spiritual successor to the Roman Empire, as in they had the same impact but for different time periods. And, for all those who say the Roman Empire is better because it paved the way for the British Empire and for primitive European civilisation, then that's not really an argument. Yes, it did pave the way for the future, but so has the British Empire - and that logic can be applied to arguments like 'the HRE is better than Kaiser Germany, because the HRE paved the way for the Kaiser Germany' - NO! That's boring and really stupid.

The tiny island's inhabitants had to continually defend themselves from barbarian European invasion, they became good at war and experts at sea.

Although I will agree that your culture is very powerful. I won't go as far to say it's the most powerful as of now, again - with the soft power index, which measures cultural relevancy - Britain is the top. Now, that's no real evidence, which is why I'll settle for the known fact of - 'Britain's culture is as powerful as America's culture, and both cultures are very similar due to their anglo roots'.

When I say mostly, that mostly comes from patriotism and a certain view. As an American, I'm sure you can argue that America invented ARPANET, even if some British ideas came to use, thus America technically invented the internet.

Everyone will, since America is closely connected to the global economy. And before any yanks claim this proves their superiority, I'll say that Britain and Germany can do the same thing, since they're just as connected.
That's why we should all be worried about the migrant crisis in Europe - not just for cultural and ancestral reasons, but also for economical reasons. The global economy is sretching from Africa to Germany: and we don't know whether it'll tear.

Trump would reduce your military forcing it focus more on national security, instead of foreign affairs. Furthermore, Trump would focus on America being number one in soft power, which I'm sure he can do.
Overall, Trump is a very smart man and I'm sure he'll return America to its superpower status. After all, America has always been much better in soft power than brute force.

Australia has endless supplies of coal and oil
USA has endless resources
We have fields and sheep.

What I'm talking is Modern Age.

The tanks you are talking about are a late development, and it happened at a time when the chemistry of iron and steel was well known.
So by the time WW1 began, metallurgy was different and lack of chemicals in ore could be compensated by different metallurgic processes.
What I was talking was a period in which metallurgy was widespread, but some chemical aspects of the different ores were not completely well-known.

The USA is not considered an island
>>75316017
they were fucking savage tribes and whenever a leader died all his conquests were divided among his 100 children who would spend their lives fighting each other to rebuild their father's empire then the same thing would repeat after their death
The British should send their mudslimes to their antarctic territory 2bh
Gotta use the remaining empire for something
In short.
The British isles were/are a shitty place to live. England had a fresh supply of willing colonist that would do anything to get out of the god forsaken place.

So France didn't conquer nigger nations and savages like Central African Republic, Mali, Algeria?
Spain didn't conquer shitskins with spears like the Aztecs?
lol you dumb retarded nigger French are all the same.

England had the advantage of superior Anglo genes.
It was an advantage that they have been denying themselves steadily for the last 100 years. The island was cucked out to a foreign royal family, used and abused for the globalist agenda in the 20th century and finally sold out to third worlders.
Is it any wonder that as the native English population has been further and further suppresed, Mother Englands fortunes have dwindled further and further?
Fortunately, Anglos have left their mark in more prosperous countries. England has lost her mantle as the white mans homeland, and for all their impurities America, Australia and New Zealand stand ready to be the shining lights of human achievement long after England has collapsed into a caliphate.

They happened to be on an island, which led to them focusing on building a navy, which is coincidentally what you need most to have a colonial empire. The British are probably the most inferior race in Europe, coming in behind even the Germans and the Romanians

The UK's success as the original global super power was a function of language.
People who speak English natively are wired differently. English is succinct and clear. This makes it perfectly suited for empire building, rock and roll, and computer science.
>>75316567
Servers can use databases, sure, but databases aren't *required* for the internet so it cannot be the "language" of networking. And as I pointed out SQL is American, transistors and microprocessors are American, the basis of HTML (SGML) is American, ARPANet is American, the whole organization of top level domains is American, the basic programming language used to create the Internet is American.
Nothing "meat and bones" is British.
>>75316756
Even if they had better secession laws, their vast empire was impossible to be ruled.
Even the russian tzars had problem with that.

It's true that was our peak but we are still the most powerful economy in the world. China maybe nipping at our heels but they're just one huge bubble waiting to burst. Once trump gets in office with a republican controlled house and senate there's a good chance we could return to our former glory. The real question is what are the future plans for the UK because you guys haven't been looking so good lately
>>75317121
Trump is meme.
Do not take him seriously, he'll not do something that the establishment do not want
>>75317259
I know other countries don't want to believe in trump because they know deep down he will restore the US to its glory days. Especially a country like yours which is broke and on the verge of civil war
>>75317121
>Most powerful economy
Having a big GDP doesn't mean you're the most powerful. If we've seen anything this past decade is that America has an unreliable economy; one only needs to look at your debt and dependency on the Middle East.
As for the UK, we're doing fine - we can obviously do better, but I think we're doing better than America economy-wise. We have good links with the world, and many nations trade well with us.
>>75317039
Right, when I said the resources used to build the internet, I meant the innovations that helped build it, but didn't necessarily become it: these resources are the programming languages.
Yes, ARPANET is American, but the idea of packet-switching, which is central to ARPANET, and the WWW itself is British. Now, we can argue a long time about this and we can come to no conclusion, or we can agree that these views are both right since discussing who invented what is superficial and futile.
>>75316388
>at it's height during 1945-1975
Wishful thinking. The US became the top power before 1945 and was one of the only superpowers, along with the USSR, until the fall of the USSR. And as the leader of the globe's most powerful military alliance, NATO, we're still in good shape.
>>75316945
Interesting thesis, I don't know if I agree. Germans could claim the same, especially considering the fact that English is primarily Germanic.
>>75316945
I was thinking about this earlier on are the people naturaly smarter because the language is so complex. People have to be pretty switched on just to have a conversation.
>>75316720
What does "autist" mean in this context?
I just made sure you knew what historical period I was referring to.
Your previous message sounded like you were arguing against me.
If it was sarcastic, I am afraid to inform you I didn't understand it not because I am autistic, but because it was just bad sarcasm.
>>75317742
UK and France were big powers, but declining powers, before WWII. You've got to remember we still had our empire then.
WWII left us with the US and the USSR as the only powers.
NATO doesn't really do much other than act as a placebo effect that Putin laughs at whilst taking Crimea.
>>75317620
Are you serious or just trolling? America is doing fine with its allies and have many trade partners too. We just also have the GDP to go with it. If you don't think America has not only the strongest economy but cultural influence in the world than who does?

"Starting in the late 1950s, American computer scientist Paul Baran developed the concept Distributed Adaptive Message Block Switching with the goal to provide a fault-tolerant, efficient routing method for telecommunication messages as part of a research program at the RAND Corporation, funded by the US Department of Defense."
It was developed by an American first. A British guy might have popularized it but the inventor was American. Just like how Brit Tim Berners Lee popularized markup language which was an offshoot of AMERICAN work.
But there's no real argument. If you look at the ingredients required for the Internet, most are American but there are also some important British ones.

Being on an island essentially forced them to adopt nationalism. That's why they have only been declining since the advent of technology/transportation

>WWII left us with the US and the USSR as the only powers.
The UK was a power after WWII, but NOT EVEN CLOSE to par with the US and USSR.
>>75311036
if life was a game of civ, the us won every victory type (influential culture, world domination, spaceships, and influential domination) ten times over before anyone came close.
>>75317900
Also, NATO is what stopped the USSR from curbstomping you ungrateful Western Europeans. Not that I would have wished that fate even on a wannabe player like the UK.
Putin is welcome to invade a NATO country though and get his shit pushed in. Maybe that's why he avoid it.
Not for very long

The Germans can claim any throne involving complexity and rules that can't be violated. English is the opposite of that.
Can you imagine choosing between "der", "die", and "das" each time you need to use a variable in German Javascript?
On the other hand, German (along with English) is one of the classic languages of modern science.
>>75317774
But speaking English isn't complex if it's your native language. I speak Danish and German, for example, but I struggle. I deconstruct sentences in English and then re-assemble them in Dansk oder Deutsch.

The United States empire is the entire planet. Everything Britain did the US is doing it but much better.
And if your argument is about taking credit for doing it first and creating something no other people had done before, then Greece and
Rome deserve much more credit for creating civilisation and empires without any proper examples before them
Britain was great but there were better before them and after

All these retards saying it's because an island are retarded. It's because we didn't stop expanding, we marched in all directions and we had the balls to go where people told us not to. The pay off was immense.
When day we will rule the seas again and shit all over everyone. Till that day, I hope you choke on a thousand nigger dicks, because either we are in charge or they are. Enjoy.
