How can I hate the British less?

[Laguna Loire]

Does anyone know how I can stop hating the British so much? On one side they were the ones who colonized what is now the United States, and they're an English speaking country just like America. But on the other side I absolutely hate them, because they hate freedom. They're so far left wing that even their so-called "Conservative Party" is extremely liberal. They aren't even a true democracy, because they don't have the right to bear arms, which is a fundamental human right. They're also known internationally as being a liberal nanny state. I don't hate British people, it's just that many of them have been brainwashed by the liberals and so they're government had a major crackdown on freedom (guns, healthcare, immigration, Muslim conformity, internet censorship, porn censorship, alternative vote failing, etc.). I don't want to hate an entire country, especially not the country that our ancestors are from, but it's really hard not too.

They are also trying to take away the freedom of other Commonwealth nations, such as how they practically forced Australia and Canada to ban handguns and severely restrict other types of guns so that only the liberal elite and criminals have them. Please, can someone give me some advice on how I can hate the nanny state British less? Don't get me wrong, of course it's normal to hate their government, but I also blame their people. Then again, liberals aren't people, they're sheeple and they were stupid enough to get brainwashed into allowing this to happen. It's really a shame that so many British people aren't intelligent, which is of course because they are liberals who only want to be controlled by the liberal elites. I'm not saying they're all stupid, but the majority of them are, that's not to say there aren't stupid Americans, because there are, but at least we still have freedom. Anyone have any advice on how I can lower my hatred towards the British nanny state, even if just a little bit?

Why should you hate them, persay, if they don't affect you so much?

Anyway, think of hot girls with English accents

I hate them for the same reason you hate North Korea.

I hate them for the same reason you hate North Korea.

Because they would like to launch nuclear missiles at your city? Because they cause thousands of people to starve to death while destroying all free thought while blackmailing the world for financial aid? And they are run by an insane dictator who kidnaps move directors?

North Korea is ruled by a left-wing communist dictator.

North Korea is ruled by a left-wing communist dictator.

And if he brought about love, peace and kittens for everyone within his realm, you would still hate him?

Ultimately, it is the effect that matters, rather than the particular ideology. Monotheism usually postulates an all-powerful and all-knowing God, for example, which doesn't allow for particular individual freedom but does still provide a framework of love and caring. On the other hand, places in complete anarchy, such as sub-Saharan Africa offer a great deal of freedom due to the lack of legal enforcement or sometimes, any central power at all, but offer miserable living standards for most, where slavery is practiced to these days, atrocities are common, and ignorance is rife.

Little FYI (this is assuming of course, you're not trolling) Canada doesn't actually have as many restrictions on firearms as you'd think. If I really felt like it I could go buy an AR15, not that I would, as it's a waste of valuable ammo money when a Ruger, or Norinco can do the same job. But I digress, we can't own anything full auto or with an AK action, but we get IWI Tavors and the QBZ95 (civvy make) and America, sadly does not.

****WARNING: ALL THE FOLLOWING IS STRICTLY OPINION BASED, AND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE RELEVANCE TO REAL WORLD FUNCTIONS****

Also, left and right on the political scale are misnomers. It's more of a circle, of which I have provided a crude drawing for you. The higher on the circle, the more control over every aspect of life the government has, conversely the lower the less. The farther right (audience) the more power the people hold in decision making in government, and again, the farther right (audience) the less. Just as a note, this has nothing to do with the current 'left and right scale' nor am I trying to imply anything. I believe the left right scale is moot. Also note that many of the countries with the term "Republic" "Socialist" or "People('s)" thrown in are Authoritarian and do not abide by the doctrines of the policies they claim to embrace.

I hope this helps you understand how the British operate, and are less inclined to hate them. They're not nearly as "leftist" as we think they are.

That circle is completely opposite. That circle of yours claims that communism/socialism/liberalism are all about a small government, when the right is the one that supports small government, the left support controlling the entire population under the guise of pseudo-equality and having a massive government with more power.

The thread smells faintly of troll. If you really do hate the British, why don't you go to the U.K. and talk to a few actual British people, then come back and tell us your opinion of the British. That is, if you're not already British. Or maybe you're from northern Ireland? I lived there for 2 years and they're really not all that bad. Royal family excluded, of course

I think it is based on ideal governments. Most communisms, for example, actually have very central power structures and top down authority; but an idealized communism would have power flow upward from the population.

Your dislike of government is well noted, but you haven't answered my unspoken question. If government control is so negative, then why it is that sub-Saharan Africa, or the Dark Ages of medieval Europe were such unpleasant places to live in?

Central authority have some value, through the question is when and where and how far. Otherwise, without institutions such as the military, which exists only from shared costs, our overall safety would be quite compromised. While yes, I have read of the works of Frederic Bastiat, one of the most influential thinkers for the right, even far-right economic thought, who defined even public schools as "legal plunder"; but even he did not argue against the possible necessity of a military.

If it wishes to give itself some gratification, it naturally considers whether it is worth what it costs. To a nation, security is the greatest of advantages. If, in order to obtain it, it is necessary to have an army of a hundred thousand men, I have nothing to say against it. It is an enjoyment bought by a sacrifice. - Frederic Bastiat, "That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen"

Sweet sassy molasses! Some one finally!

Yes, the circle is based solely off the principles of the governing bodies, and not the actions of the governing bodies.

I'm actually surprised there are still people on this planet that believe China is, or the USSR were communist. Of course, conversely I one could argue that democracy is the worst form of government, look at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I'm fairly certain nether one of those is actually a democracy.

It's called stop doing the Stupid American thing and mind your own country's business. Get a hobby or something. Most of us are too busy taking care of families, keeping honeysuckle jobs, going to school, or just trying to stay alive to give two craps about what's happening on the other side of the ocean.

ITA....
Why does it even matter so much. There's SO much you could be worrying about in your OWN country (and your own life), why go to the pointless extreme of "hating" a country that really has nothing to do with you?

 

[floffyschneeman]

meh, I can't tell you advice on how to hate an entire country less, cos you have to do that for yourself. But why does it bother you so much? O_O


I don't even think there is such a thing as total freedom. If there is, and if that idea could exist and still have it's purest sense, total freedom would mean balanced freedom. When people know what are the things they can do and what are the things they can't and the reasons and understanding as to why they have limitations. Ultimate freedom (seeing in literal meaning) is when you go out the street and say, ''I'm in the mood to kill someone and shot the next person you see''. People should not be given ultimate freedom 'cos God knows what could happen in this world, It's already shitty as it is. And also, just as whatever works for a person, same goes with countries. There are countries which has less freedom (per se) than other countries but has better standards of living. e.g. Singapore.

I am not a political person, hearing the word politics makes me irk. But really, it doesn't take a master of politics to see how democracy can (most of the time) rot a country. Specially when you put greedy people in power to lead uneducated masses. Good luck that!

sooo, hate UK less. Get busy more. lol

I could answer this,oh believe me,I could answer this! But on second thoughts,it's not worth wearing out the letters on my keyboard.

Each nation has the right to run as it sees fit. Britain is no worse than any other country. In the end we cannot like everyone. I am sure a lot of Brits would not like you because you hold a pretty stereotypical American attitude.

Anyway, think of hot girls with English accents

........ I have to agree. However, only the English accents. The others are kind of harsh.

Rule Britania!

Britannia rule the waves.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
