No, it was obviously a net positive for the planet. In 500 years I guarantee people will look past the identity politics and self-hatred and observe how Britain was at the forefront of establishing the modern structures of international politics and the global economy. So much of the world's technology, culture, and knowledge comes from the UK.

When I see British people competing with one another to hate their own country the most, I
genuinely think it's a little bit gross. You guys have literally been taught to hate yourselves

"Britain"

*sigh*

excuse me, but I think you should know that the so called "British" were not the only inhabitants of the British Isles. Ireland, whose citizens we don't call "British" are also part of the North Atlantic Archipelago of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

It's extremely arrogant and imperialistic for U.K.-ians to calim the title of "British" for themselves (appropriating the title from non-U.K.-ians in the British Isles).

Britain is filled with perfidious bastards who pretend to be humble but still think they're great and powerful, that they matter at all in the world. When faced with the facts that his country has fallen behind their English-speaking colonies (except for fucking New Zealand), the Englishman shakes his head and mumbles "britannia rules the waves" repeatedly. "Muh overtake germany by 4050" is the sound of a Brit as his brain (or lack thereof) dribbles out of his ears.

Such delusion. The UK is currently the 5th largest economy in the world by GDP, only lagging behind the US, China, Japan and Germany. Our educational system has the only non American institutions featured in the top 50 universities, with 3rd and 5th places for Oxford and Cambridge respectively.

Your country is a shithole filled with niggers and Pakis, your economy is shit, your leaders have campaigned the EU/IMF/World Bank/American Government to say leaving the EU will decimate your economy. You've not done anything on the world stage without America doing the heavy lifting since Suez, and that was a complete and utter failure.

You can brag about Xin and Pajeet bringing up your university rankings, but that doesn't change the fact that your Nanny-state shithole is committing cultural and ethnic seppuku.
