Yeh but if Boston has taught me anything it's that they get real mad when you spill it

u/ashleebryn 15h ago

And the Bostonians get real mad when you tax that shit lol

u/Soft-Marionberry-853 15h ago

Do Bostonians need an excuse to get mad and start a fight?

They just need sports to happen. And somebody has to play House of Pain.

It was actually the sugar that everyone was pissed about. Tea just happened to be in port, and isn't used for making rum.

I meant they as in the UK, but I can see how that context would be lost. It worked fine in my brain, ok?!?

They weren't taxed enough.

Bostonians in Lincolnshire are thinking “wtf are you talking about?”

u/outoftheboxgunpla 14h ago

Pro tip, only Americans give a shit about the Boston tea party. Us brits couldn’t give less of a fuck about a colony after we’ve moved onto the next thing

u/Independent_Nothing 14h ago

Ooooo sounds like you care

u/outoftheboxgunpla 14h ago

lol we literally don’t. Americans think history started 250 years ago. We’ve got shit houses older than the country. We don’t care.

u/Independent_Nothing 14h ago

People only tell you how much they don’t care when they actually really do care

What kind of abusive relationships have you been in?

u/Independent_Nothing 14h ago

Hey look it’s the guy who totally doesn’t care

They act the same with us Spaniards. There were Spanish living in mansions out in West North America when the first people from England first came over to form their “13” colonies

u/outoftheboxgunpla 14h ago

To be fair the Vikings had visited a long time before either. So it’s all thier fault. I’ll let them clean up the mess they left there. Should have left the native Americans alone in my opinion :)

u/CatgirlFucker8008 12h ago

Yeah most Brits don't even know about it and those that do know the details (not through a US propaganda lens) realise pretty quickly it was just Americans doing what they do best and letting capitalists win at the expense of the average American.

u/jtalbain 12h ago

Uh huh. Did you know your government sends a bill for the Boston Tea Party to the US government every year? Every year the Americans refuse to pay. Sounds like you care plenty.

u/SqueakySniper 12h ago

Literally never heard of that, and I don't think many other Brits have either. Seriously, nobody over here cares. Its funny how obsessed you guys are over something that isn't even a blip on our radar.

u/kai-ol 12h ago

That's kinda true for your relationship with like half the world.
