@dianea Why are there pyramids in Egypt?
Too big to move to London.

Dunno. Sounds pretty British to me."

Oh yeah, but what about the "flag sticking" βπ»

@_thegeoff Brits should be better informed about our barbaric empire before declaring any positivity about British culture.
ey, hang on. You're Brits, actually the only actual Brits speaking British.
Now the English... π

π@_thegeoff Even in the UK. The British tried to destroy the languages in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.

@doctormo @NicelyManifest @_thegeoff That would be the Welsh and Breton (in Brittany). And Cornish if you include revived languages.

@minentromaxinfo @_thegeoff I bet quite a lot of Native Americans would agree. π
The amazing thing is, they treat Native Americans (who were here first!) the same way they treat immigrants. Or worse...
@nazokiyoubinbou @minentromaxinfo @_thegeoff because it's not (just) xenophobia, it's racism and colonialism. Indigenous people are the intended targets of this genocide, not accidentally caught up in it by being mistaken for someone else. The descendants of the original colonizers/genocidaires are trying to finish the job, using alleged immigration to defend their actions. Immigrants are more likely to be taken if they're visibly Indigenous than if they're white.

πAs an English person, I'm not trying to be 'British' either. I don't believe in it, or any other relics from when we were colonisers. If we want close ties with our neighbours, those relationships should be based on mutual respect, as equals.
And BTW let's not forget that the English are absolutely capable of shitting on their own native languages too (the ones without army and navy - yep, the dialects).

π@_thegeoff ok maybe that behavior is pretty British. But when they do it IT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!! (sarcasm)
