Karma catching up to who? The people that did those things are dead you loving imbecile. loving love a german getting to act like the good guys because you were so evil that one time you actually got a reaction from the world and got stomped so hard that you get to act like it was a moral status reset. Two dumb rear end world wars because your dumbass culture wanted in on the big man colonial game.

To be fair to them, the Germans actually had to apologise for their white supremacist genocide

German kids who have nothing to do with it have to learn about how evil their ancestors were and be ashamed.

We don't do anything like that in school and the mainstream consensus on the empire is that it was well meaning and alright on the whole

like the holocaust was loving awful but it does not magically cancel all other genocides

They have bars in the actual building, don't they?

"The Scottish Conservative MP Ross Thomson has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted men in the House of Commons, and referred himself to his party’s disciplinary panel.

Thomson was escorted out of Strangers’ bar in Westminster by the police on Tuesday night after allegedly drunkenly groping men in the bar, but no complaints were made and no charges brought.

Lurid accounts of what allegedly happened in the bar have been circulating since the incident, including claims Thomson was extremely drunk and had been asked to leave several times. Senior unnamed Tories said they feared he was stressed because of Brexit. Unlike most Scottish Tory parliamentarians, Thomson is an ardent Brexiter.

The Times reported on Friday that Thomson had vehemently denied the allegations, and quoted other witnesses who said he had been touching other people’s bottoms in an effort to remain standing after drinking for five hours."

May's plan is clear now. Each time she has them vote on her plan, it only loses by half as many votes.

Its just a matter of voting on it enough times and then surely, by the inexorable math of n/2, it will eventually pass. She is a genius.

yeah like i'm not saying all of britain needs to suffer for the crimes of their ancestors but maybe if we actually taught just how bad this poo poo is/was in every country then we'd stop doing the same poo poo over and over and over

which is of course why this isn't taught

We did attempt to enslave the whole world under a racial hierarchy of whites at the top and everyone else being various slave races or just exterminated.

We had a real loving go of it too, enslaved 20% of the world's population at one point.
Killed 30 million in 19th century India alone on purpose because we thought they were a feminine and stupid slave race.

Yet saying this probably has a bunch of posters thinking "welllll that's a bit strong" and those people are the radical far left compared to our mainstream attitudes to the empire.

E: and it wasn't long ago either. My grandad was about when the British empire was still the largest state by population in the world I think.

Plus again, tons of countries were still getting independence into the 60's and 70's. With some of those exits violent and horribly mismanaged. Plus the Troubles.

it's also funny they bring up the world wars specifically, because churchill was a loving insane racist who probably would have done a holocaust of his own if hitler didn't beat him to it
