Don't you think it's pathetic (and third worldly) to have these wet dreams about the jolly old British empire guvna.

They enslaved the globe for a tea fix, slaughtered tens of thousands of defenseless Africans to test the maxim gun, and forcefed the Chinese drugs against their own will to say the least.

It's an inglorious history of stolen valor, bad teeth, and no showers. It would be better if you admired the high culture associated with the time period of your history rather than the severe injustices that haunt it to this day.
