VitalSigns posted:Nah I think Britain's starvation campaigns are borne of jealousy and a deep-seated insecurity about English cooking. I think in terms of cooking, the English sense of superiority is safe against the swarthy German Menace. Only the Germans could gently caress up food enough to make a salad out of meats.

computer parts posted:Your post was: 1984 wasn't about socialism, George Orwell was actually quite a bit of a dang socialist himself. You Americans just get taught that reading because it's useful as propaganda if misinterpreted in a certain way. e: misread your post But still, mid to late 1940's USSR was no more or less a shithole than anywhere else than anywhere else in Europe that had seen fighting. If it was worse, if was because the fighting it had seen was worse, and it did more to save the world from naziism BlitzkriegOfColour fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Jan 20, 2015 |

OwlFancier posted:Possibly they might be blamed for killing shitloads of people. That seems like a thing you can blame people for. Can't blame people for famines, that's up to nature. Unless you mean nazis, in which case you should be licking their balls for saving the world. Personally, I don't consider nazis to be human.

davidb posted:Cuba has been almost no influence on the world other than getting sanctioned. Cuba, the country which every time there is a natural disaster or epidemic breakout has more doctors on the ground than any other nation, and whose doctors stay there for longer. No influence on the world. None whatsoever. Wow. Also: 1) Citation needed 2) Contradicts itself. 3) i) America's role model is Ancient Rome. Therefore it follows that anyone who you assume is following America's lead is actually following Ancient Rome's lead, meaning your admiration is misplaced. You worship Ancient Rome, face it. Paganism is cooler than Christianity anyway, and Rome only started sucking and being boring when it got Christian. ii) You keep making this claim about spreading democracy, when in fact all America really exports is dictatorship and torture. Pinochet, The Shah - in fact, let's c/p from wikipedia here. Latin America Presidents Emílio G. Médici (left) and Richard Nixon, December 1971.

Don't say that. Intersectionality exists anyway, it's not like blacks can't be racist towards foreigners.

davidb posted:Your a confused little thing arent you, its so cute watching the dumb ones struggle. It's pretty rich when somebody who can't distinguish between were and we're, you're and your, or their, they're and there thinks that someone else is dumb. That's not just typographical errata, it's a legitimate reading comprehension shortfall which most people have overcome by the time they finish grade school. Is also funny when somebody who lies about their skin colour calls somebody else confused. Mods, ban this sick filth. BlitzkriegOfColour fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jan 21, 2015 |

A Buttery Pastry posted:The British were able to encroach on that poo poo because they had actual settlers, instead of forts and a few fur traders. The population disparity was pretty much the same a hundred years earlier. The British had the most settlers because Britain was a bigger stinkhole than all the other places in Europe. The story of colonists leaving England isn't one of Enlightened Europeans exploring to spread their beneficence with the dirty savage, it's the story of people who were sick of smelling poop everywhere they went, and being held down by their society, trying to escape it.
