-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Do you know how crazy this is? How damning it is? This is a nation that successfully plundered half the world. The wealth it stole, under a system that could efficiently put it to use, should have made their entire society wealthy for a millenia. Yet not even a couple generations removed, and its already collapsing into poverty.
Like yeah Imperialism is bad and they shouldnt have been looting other countries to begin with. It baffles the mind though that they somehow managed to waste all that wealth so rapidly. The British Monarchy itself is only worth like 28 billion. Which yeah is a lot, but its nothing compared to what they stole.
Not just theives, but incompetent theives. Its pathetic.
honkeys be like
ngl it's impressive
