Why did the british empire and it's people lose almost everything, when they won every war in the last 200 years?
>>52356655
Denbts, decolonisation
The USA made us dismantle our empire. The current state of the west is the result of an American power grab. Fucking pathetic 2bh
They actually won.
The mongrels that rebelled to them spread the language of the Brits, and so are doing the rest of their colonies.
They just stopped doing it. Still, it's undeniable that they are rusing the shit out of everyone and using their colonies as proxy tools to spread their "culture" and impose themselves as the rulers of the world.
All the good sides of having an empire, none the responsibilities.
Where is the defeat you are talking about, OP?
>>52356655
USA and the Soviet Union teamed up to dismantle the British and French Empires

You don't actually believe this do you?
>>52357741
>Afrikaans 13.5%
>English 9.6%
Yeah double
Not to mention English will continue to grow
>>52357786
>>52357786
>You don't actually believe this do you?
Yes I do. Why do you ask?
>>52357874
>10.3 million in 2002
>7.1 million in 2011
Can you say dying language?
>>52356655
UK 'won' WW2 pretty much the same way Poland did.
>>52357934
L2 speakers are those with afrikaans as a second language.
the 7.1 million are those who speak it as a first language.
Do you struggle with basic english that you cant understand this?
>>52358025
>literally sitting here denying less than 90% of SA speaks English
why lie?
>>52358025
>Can you say hello in Afrikaans?
>Yes
>You're L2 then
Damage control for your dying irrelevant language
>>52358080
He's upset his country is the ultimate cuck
>Cucked by the Brits
>Cucked by the Dutch
>Cucked by Blacks
they got btfo in the war
they couldn't handle their colonies so they had to give them up lmao BRITBONGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>52358080
are you fucking drunk on horse semen?
but wth, carry on telling me about my country
>>52358189
I'm South African you dumb ass. Lived there until I was 14. Anyway why do you still live in that hole. It's so fucking easy to move to NZ or Aus as a white English speaker.
>>52358178
Why the colonies where as much of a burden for the vast majority of us. They just made a few aristocrats wealthy while we had to deal with all the fallout.
>>52358189
>13.5 is double of 9.6
South African Math right there
>English grew 1.4 whereas Afrikaans only grew 0.2
Dead Language
>>52358246
the colonies were a blessing to the UK's economy in general
>>52358246
To be fair, if you were dirt poor in Ireland or the UK then being handed a huge amount of land to work was a good deal. A lot of poor lower class brits benefited from colonialism.
>>52358224
>I'm South African
no you are not, you are a kiwi. have atleast the common decency to acknowledge your new country.
>ah toxic cowardly expat, it explains all
Iirc it was falling apart because lots of places wanted independence.
Also the American conspired to help it along. Cheeky buggers.
World police for 100-200 years
Then we got bored of that and let USA take over
>>52358348
>>ah toxic cowardly expat, it explains all
>toxic
Fuck off. I don't know where you live, but growing up we had our house broken into many times, as did our neighbours. My parents saw where the country was going and left. It was beyond saving and you know that to be the truth. You're the coward for staying in a country that doesn't want to there.
Unless you're black, in which case kill yourself 2bh.
>>52358300
Yeah man I got the short end of the stick, I come from the Irish stock to dumb or loyal to move and Northan English coal miner.
>tfw I could be a kiwi or aussie
>>52358289
Doesn't mean the vast majority benefitted from it.
Only the Jews won WWII, everyone else lost.
>>52358425
what ever coward. you are fucking syrian refugee tier shit.
>>52358425
He's a cuck like this probably
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Biehl
>>52358479
So how's the active genociding of Afrikaans going?
>>52358479
So are you black then boy? Salty that the whites who ran your country are leaving en mass? kek
I can't wait for the hoards of kaffirs from the north storm your border and turn you into south nigeria.
>>52357923
shame 90% of boers are rednecks who circlejerk to an independant boer republic whilst getting cucked
>>52356655
No. Everyone now uses a language originated from Britain island. That's still pretty great thing.
>>52358514
well, afrikaans is a language. how do you genocide a language?
>>52358588
By having people speak a superior one like English instead
>>52358560
just glad that the cowards left, dont need your weak genes polluting ours.
>>52358479
are you kidding we love Saffas here
they contribute and fight right in
>>52358690
>I've accepted some corrupt kaffir human garbage as my overlords
>this makes me strong
you havin a laff mate
You know as well as I do what human garbage the average black in SA is like.
>>52358502
didn't her murderers go on to rape and kill some more after they were released?
>>52358588
>>52358688
Stop arguing for fuck's sake, we should be on the same side.
>>52358728
make up your mind. First I am black then i am white. now run along little coward boy.
>>52358788
He's a nigger, he genuinely thinks SA is better now. Let him live in his fantasy world while he turns into a third world shit hole.
>>52358502
Fucking savages
>>52358701
just baiting him, he gets butthurt quickly.
>>52358772
If so they probably deserved it
>>52358788
He's either a coloured lad or a cuck Afrikaner, either way he's not on my side
>>52358875
This isn't bait. If you are white (which I doubt) then I genuinely don't understand why you'd stay in SA. No one can be in so denial that they think the country is improving, let alone not going to shit. If you have any shred of decency you'll save your children from growing up in the next Nigeria and move somewhere else. That's why I don't understand how you can call me a coward. You're dooming your children to growing up in a crime ridden hole, because you're too afraid to take a leap of faith and move to another country.
>>52358967
lol nee hierdie is my land. as die kaffers my wil weg he moet hulle maar kom try.
>>52358967
desu you seem the saltiest at being called a coward
its okay m8 the kaffirs cant hurt you anymore
>>52359034
I'm not salty, if he wants to call me a coward he can. But if he genuinely believes leaving SA is being a coward then I don't understand that (for the reasons above).
It's like when a European calls you racist for being opposed to refugees. You don't get mad they call you racist, but you're fascinated by how they can be so confused as to deny blatant truths.
>>52359116
i called you a coward to get a rise out of you. I am only staying here till my mother passes anyway. then joining up with the rest of my family in the US.
Also you are salty my bait gobbling friendo.
>>52358834
>>52358889
My mistake, lad. I thought he was an Afrikaner.
>>52359318
i am as snowy white as they come.
>>52358019
Umm no, we weren't conquered like Poland... And the netherlands
Eisenhower told them to fuck off and they did
The absolute madmen
>>52359458
>we weren't conquered like Poland
thanks to Poland
>>52359458
you pretty much got partitioned
