United Kingdom is just asking for it (Page 4) WHlSKY: Truth, I even think that looking at these aspects of colonisation will be beneficial. -It may humble those who come from ex Colonial countries. Might even lead to less discrimination. Who knows… just a thought. The13th: Hold a minute Whisky, what is that brutal thing. Born just a year after British left, I need felt any brutality has just left town. I dont see people with leg blown off by landmine, or mass grave of people cut down by British calvary. What they left behind in my town, within 10 minutes of walking distance from my house: a museum, a clinic, a church, a school, a police station, a wet market, a court house, 2 libraries, an education department building, an inland revenue building, a railway track. There is a cinema where I watched Bruce Lee and Star Wars, but I dont think thats by the Brit. Its more like people from HongKong. For the next 21 years, I never have to spend a single cent on medical or dental care, the four-square clinic took care of all that. I even had an X-ray, for what reason I cannot remember. Of course its free. I was 5 years old, I aint got no money to pay anything. You Brit need to take care of it. Colonization is not all about put a sword on your head and ask you to hand over the gold, if thats what you are thinking Whisky. You need to collect tax, do some finance, build things, and provide essential service free for the people. And I dont see why Brit wont build this for the INCA if they were there. Who defeated them at Sourth America? You sorry dumb ass, bet you still live in jungle with no electricity. WHlSKY: “ …what is that brutal thing.” It is very numerous but I can help you along with a few that you can search up and practice reading: 1) Amritsar massacre 2) Mau Mau uprising 3) The Indian Famines: there is the case where the British colonisers took grains from India and sent to Britain while famines where raging on. Killed millions. Another also, the Bengal famine, when grains were taken and diverted to British soldiers. You should read up on what Churchill said of the people. 4) The Transatlantic slave trade 5) The Opium Wars and the opium trade Bonus: Go ask their neighbour the Irish how pleasant it was. The list is a long one. Colonialism is no positive legacy. It’ll definitely not be something I’d be proud of or feel superior about. (Edited by WHlSKY) WHlSKY: “… And I dont see why Brit wont build this for the INCA if they were there. Who defeated them at Sourth America?” The British invaded twice, both times ended in failure. The River Plate invasions (Argentina and Uruguay) were two unsuccessful British attempts and the British were defeated. You can read more in the link below. This happens when you run your mouth without fact checking. Bit embarrassing. “… You sorry dumb ass, bet you still live in jungle with no electricity” Someone is getting angry. Yeah, I’m chilling in my tree atm. Sipping on🧉 If only you put that anger energy into presenting something that made sense… Did the British forget to teach you critical thinking, the13th? Haaha jk settle down. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_invasions_of_the_River_Plate ghostgeek: Poor old Whisky, getting all hot and bothered about the British. Hell, it must really eat him up when he hears things like the following: Gabon and Togo joined the Commonwealth on Saturday, becoming the latest nations with no historic ties to Britain to enter the English-speaking club headed by Queen Elizabeth II. The 54-nation group of mostly former British colonies accepted Togo and Gabon's application for membership on the final day of its leadership summit in Rwanda. "We have admitted Gabon and Togo as new members, and we all welcome them to the Commonwealth family," Rwandan President Paul Kagame said at the closing press conference. The French-speaking West African states are the first new members to join the Commonwealth since Rwanda in 2009. Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey said membership opened the door to 2.5 billion consumers in the Commonwealth realm, offered new education opportunities, and tapped a "craze" for English among his countrymen. "Togo's membership is motivated by the desire to expand its diplomatic, political, and economic network... as well as to get closer to the English-speaking world," he told AFP.

Ngl, I’ve kinda skipped over the extra bits you type. I like the passive aggression you’re throwing though. Much milder than your previous postings. WHlSKY: What’s band is that? This one?: Officials in at least six countries in the Caribbean where Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II is head of state have signaled they intend to remove the monarch as their sovereign. These countries follow Barbados, which removed the queen as its head of state to become the region’s newest republic in November 2021. This is awkward … (Edited by WHlSKY) ghostgeek: But think of all the gold plundered from the Americas. So it must have been bad, bad, bad. WHlSKY: I don’t feel emotionally attached to the Spanish Empire or Spanish colonisers. Might save you the trouble. But aye, don’t let me stop you from deflecting as you are uncomfortable and offended on my postings about British colonisation. What’s your thoughts on my comeback to your ‘band’? Haaha silence. (Edited by WHlSKY) ghostgeek: There's an interesting question to be asked. Would you exist if the Spanish hadn't crossed the ocean blue? WHlSKY: Help me to understand, Ghostgeek and the13th, you lone soldiers, what exactly is getting you both worked up? Have I lied about the British colonisation? ghostgeek: I'm just wondering why, out of all the empires that have risen and collapsed, you choose to focus on the British Empire. WHlSKY: “ Would you exist if the Spanish hadn't crossed the ocean blue?” Would I exist if the Holocaust did not happen? Doesn’t mean I should support the Holocaust huh or prefer it not occurring? Or you should… Life is fickle. 1 in 400 trillion chances of my birth. How self absorbed will it be to support anything solely based on you thinking it might affect your birth. WHlSKY: “ why, out of all the empires that have risen and collapsed, you choose to focus on the British Empire.” As I pointed out to you, it is in the thread title and it was The13th on the first page that presented the Britain’s colonisation . I’m wondering why you feel that I should not speak on what I wish. I will be continuing to do so, so strap in and enjoy the ride. WHlSKY: Do you feel better now or you’re still agitated? Looks like you only wanted to be acknowledged. How many cheers we’re giving to those whose backs it was built on? Six cheers for the colonies and I’ll pour out a little Hennessy for the slaughtered. The13th: Whisky the fixation on the slaughtered and massacre and ill treatment is unbalanced. You read about British colonization, we lived it for 3 generations. You read about the killing, I see the constructive building than eventually lead us to independence as a nation. If they come back, we buy them coffee. WHlSKY: “ Whisky the fixation on the slaughtered and massacre and ill treatment is unbalanced.” Correction, the mentioning of the factual slaughtering and ill treatment is historically accurate, colonisation was unbalanced and those who are support/proud the ‘legacy’ of massacre and ill treatment are unbalanced. __________ “You read about British colonization, we lived it for 3 generations.” Correction, you were not around during British colonisation and I have lived in a British ex-colony before. (You should not be proud of not reading too). __________ “ If they come back, we buy them coffee.” Yeah? I’m not surprised, as you appear as a weak submissive type who needs to be dominated. Explains your fetishisation of Putin in the other thread. Malaysia sought its own independence, so it appears that your countrymen disagree with you. But aye, I’ve a suggestion for you to fill that submissiveness. Ask Ghostgeek to manage your finances (he can be your little British FinDom). 🧉HAaha (Edited by WHlSKY) The13th: Honestly admire a honest man like Putin is not weak or submissive. We see a warrior that we can fight along side with. Although British left a year before I was born, throughout my chiidhood I have to use british coins, since there is just not enough time to deliver new coins in the market. And everything that I enjoyed, the schools, the clinics are all built during British time. Do you know that I even have a dental clinic inside my primary school. Only Brit is crazy enough to think of doing that. I cant fight the Brit too, and neither can my grandpa or pa, because they are not armed. There are no soliders in Calvary, there are no slaves in heavy chain. We dont have the habit of boyonet an unarmed whilte man and pull out his intestine. Only Red Indian do that. We are neither red nor Indian. The whole reason my grandpa and pa came over is the Brit has made the land hospitable, and they need extra hand to build the church and the court house. You can say we were invited guest. (Edited by The13th) ghostgeek: The history of the world is a history of empires going back to the ancient Egyptians and beyond, but if it makes Whisky feel alive to focus all his energy on the British Empire let's cheer the lad on. | Politics Chat Room 88 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
