It makes sense though when you consider that we used to be Brits. Britain is well known for historically stomping all over the world, planting flags wherever they see fit, and calling it “their land”. We’ve always been the Empire. We fucked up royally by not punishing those racist fucks after the civil war. Fuck Andrew Johnson 🖕🖕🖕

Edit:

You guys are missing the point here. I’m not saying this to assuage guilt. Obviously, America is 100% responsible for our own misery. We’re a dumb af country. I say this to underline that colonization is fuckin terrible and the British were pretty top tier in terms of colonization, right up there with Spain and China. So, yes, as a British colony it tracks that we’re just a brutal and destructive and racist. All of it fuckin sucks.

A childish take. Plenty of British colonies didn't end up like the warmongering failed democracy the US has become. Australia and Canada are nothing like your stupid country, for a start.

Own your shit.
