The British are the Americans of Europe.
The British came to the new world and never left, they just decided to change their name over here. It's The British on both sides, just different flavors.
And of course all the assholes that followed the British.
It’s true that we were the chavs of the Early Modern era and the other powers absolutely resent that we exceeded them during the Imperial phase.
Kinda nuts how institutions just keep going long after they've reached the point of historical irrelevancy. As much as I enjoy watching the decline of US empire, it's kinda bleak to consider the momentum is behind keeping this stupid configuration of states and constitution, dragging this deadweight on into the next century in much the same way you Brits still have fuckin' aristos.
