Why are British people so pompous? I'm an Amerifag, and I'm well aware of my country's general shitlorddom. But tbqh I've never witnessed a British person fully acknowledge 1. That their country isn't that great or 2. That identifying as British is about as special as identifying as Congolese (or as American).
>>27652833
I take solace in the fact they're welcoming their demise by importing tons of shitskins.
Won't be long before they're less white than us.
I am British and I've always wondered why we identify with the Anglo-Saxons so much when the Romans were here a thousand years before.
expat not immigrant
thank you very much
lad
>>27652833
Seriously? Every Brit fucking hates Britain. We know it's shit.
>>27652833
> Why are British people so pompous?
we might be TO YOU, because yanks are so far up their own arse, to most other cultures we will easily make fun of ourselves and admit our teeth are fucked, weathers shite and chavs are everywhere
tldr; fuck off ameriburgers (and take the french with you)
>>27652833
I don't get why Britbongs shit-talk America so much.
Americans on the whole seem to be doing better at everything than we are. If we're to shit on anyone it should be the French, the only thing they do better than us is act like pricks.

brit here
>1. That their country isn't that great
Britain is fucking shit
> 2. That identifying as British is about as special as identifying as Congolese (or as American).
agreed
Happy now? Fuck off and find something else to whine about.
>Britain
>a country
But yeah, the reason a lot English / British people have a resentment towards America is because most Brits have been brought up believing in socialist principles, hating anything that's powerful or wealthy. It's the same reason the British typically hate the government and big business, without knowing much about either.
>>27652833
Is this opposite day? I always figured that Brits were far less likely to exhibit national pride than Americans. We'd probably think of ourselves as better than Americans, though.
Still, overall I think Brits are very willing to acknowledge how shit the country is and almost proud of it and how cynical and miserable it makes them, honestly.
>>27653193
we also have a culture of healthy cynicism, respecting whats real, humble and grounded. look at our movies and they're rarely glamorous or overly produced. look at americas fake plastic hollywood in comparison.
america is a completely fake absurd nightmare to us brits, thats collapsing from the inside. you guys are steeped in propoganda and under the plastic smile is horrific crime, obesity, stupidity...etc
we know we're a horrible prick, but we admit that. its the basis of a lot of our comedy. your comedy is fart jokes because the laugh track matters more to you than the joke content
>>27653426
>you guys are steeped in propoganda and under the plastic smile is horrific crime, obesity, stupidity...etc
you realize britain is essentially 1984 right now, right?
>>27653464
yeah but we know it
>>27653426
English comedy sucks dude. We give America a hard time for having really low-brow humor but actual English sitcoms are extremely slapstick. The fact that the best comedies produced in Britain are actually Irish speaks volumes.
Scottish humor is pitch-black though, and can often be very funny but can also be awful a similar amount of the time.
>>27653426
I'm English mate. And don't tell me the reason for hating America is anything more than a socialist hatred of a strong, wealthy and patriotic country. We barely have any national culture left, since we've spent every decade since the last world war trying to collectively demolish it. Britain is shit, it's a joke, and it deserves everything bad that happens to it.
>>27652833
British people defend their country against outsiders. If you live in Britain then people shit on and complain about Britain all the time, but we don't like it when outsiders do it.
>>27652907
The same reason White Americans identify with Europe instead of Native Americans.
The Romans conquered Celtic Britain and left. The Anglo-Saxons conquered Celtic Britain and supplanted the Celts. The English ethnic group is essentially Anglo-Saxon.
>>27653426
Perfect example: British sports cars vs American muscle cars
Small light nimble vs big heavy plastic empty
>inb4 muh no replacement for displacement
They literally tut at each other if a "mate" cuts in the "queue."
>>27653998
only the worst amerifags give a shit about cars, let alone american cars. it's a silly interest.
>>27653998
the only thing british are swift and nimble with are muslim dicks mate
>>27653426
shall we discuss the content of monty python?
>When another Britbong says "I'm not your mate" when you call them mate.
Nothing ruder in the world.
>>27652833
I'm British. The country is pretty much a worse and smaller version of the Us in every way and the people are boring, miserable pieces of shit
>>27652833
It's like you don't actually know any british people at all.
EVERY brit hates their country and spends an unhealthy amount of time detailing the failings of our country. When we say positive things THATS the banter. Seriously, if you hear brits saying good things about britain thats when we're being ironic/sarcastic.
(btw your point 1 + 2 are basically the same thing, dumb americunt)
>>27652833
>Be British
>Police won't let me have any knives in my home
>Walk outside to go to the pub
>Friend I'm walking with get's beheaded by muslim
>I'm tried in sharia court on his behalf and charged for his neck blunting Mohamad's knife
>I complain on twitter that this isn't very fair
>arrested for hate crime
>>27652833
We talk shit about our country to each other all the time, but if some uppity foreign fuck starts talking shit we close ranks
>>27652833
British people make fun of Britain more than anyone else in the world. Have you ever actually met one of them? Or do you get all your knowledge about other countries from fantasy movies?
>>27652833
Because they literally are the greatest country in Europe and genetically superior to all other Europeans (Americans are still #1 tho)

What happened to make you guys so sad and bitter?
>>27654964
That's a seriously flawed picture. What qualifies as an accomplishment? And haven't we just gotten better at documenting shit more than anything else?

This is what I meant in my post. Britcucks all act the exactly the same, no personality at all. As a Brit myself I apologise on behalf of these over emotional, agressive beta males. If you said this in real life to them they would just stare at the floor.

The 50-year trophy drought might have something to do with it.

We're all that's left of the greatest empire the world has ever seen.
>>27655218
No JUST embarrased by the people I share a country with
>>27655224
The empire is still around, the center of power just moved from London to New York and the method of dominating the world became a little more indirect.
>>27655029
this post is fucking embarrassing, worst thing i've read in months. fix up.
>>27655235
Cry a fucking river cunt, don't like it then do it something about it otherwise fuck off.
>>27655276
That's true, good job Israel.
>>27655276
So the yanks stole the empire from us and twisted it from a trade/colonial empire into a cultural empire? Bastards.
>>27652907
because the Anglo-Saxons left a much bigger imprint on our nation
>>27655303
I think you need to calm down friend, got bullied at school today? Luckily I'm a neet so I don't have to interact with you "people" too much
>>27655350
leaving r9k for a while then coming back to see posts like this and knowing you arent joking is jarring

You are what is wrong with society.

you're right but I am getting a job soon

im not even involved in this conversation silly boy, just making a comment

an uninsightful unecessary comment that makes you look stupid
>>27655491

damn boi..
>>27655336
Stole it? More like saved it, then reorganized it into something that could function in the postwar world.
>twisted it from a trade/colonial empire into a cultural empire
It was already a cultural empire....and it's not like the modern system isn't completely based on trade. What do you think the IMF, World Bank, and WTO are for?
>>27655517
sorry my friend i opologise :)
>>27652833
my country isnt great which is why i left
i wont admit that being british isnt special in certain regards because my accent is the only thing that gets me laid, weird as that sounds american chicks fucking love it
i blame harry potter tbqh
Lads you gotta understand this thing called 'banter', I'd like to think we're pretty good at shitposts. Not Ausfailia or Afuckingleaf good but in the top 5 I reckon. OP probably got battered hard by QUALITY POSTS MADE IN BRITAIN
>>27655564
>saved it, postwar
Bah. We had it under control.
desu i think brits are less pompous than americans, we're not arrogant at all and we think everything is shit so i dont really know where you're coming from, it's an antiquated stereotype that we are snooty
>>27655288
I'll fix your teeth after I knock them all out pal
>>27654088
its gud
