Hmmm.... so we all know British food isn't really that bad... but it's OK to make fun of them bc it's like "kicking up", right?

But the British Empire fell and their country's a mess, so now it's like "kicking down" which is not OK...

BUT the American Empire is in the process of collapsing so... have we already fallen so low that we're "kicking up" again?

Brits are not a significantly disadvantaged people (all of us are a mess right now tbqh), therefore, it's okay to rib them a bit.

Americans are not a significantly disadvantaged people (I mean, as a whole, we did this latest development to ourselves tbqh), therefore, it's okay to rib us a bit.
