Like I can't stress my hate for the British empire.

The colonial mindset and generally the domination desire too obviously. (Yes you're on an anarchist instance what did you expect)

But the British empire has a special hate from me.

Here's some fuel for your hatred:
https://news.sky.com/story/the-uk-has-been-colonised-by-immigrants-says-ineos-boss-and-man-utd-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe-13506333

"The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people."

Goes around, comes around, eh? Meanwhile he's an immigrant of Monaco for tax purposes...

Oh no I'm well caught up on that lol. I'm one of maybe 5 people into sports on Lemmy lol

Always hated Radcliffe in particular too, even before he bought part of utd

ok I probably don't want to know but whats up with radcliffe?

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Agreed if you can listen to behind the bastards and not hate the British you're broken

It is crazy for me to consider just how much suffering a human can endure. At the risk of being melancholic, I would have killed myself long before this. Despite the fact this guy is ~~emancipated~~ emaciated, he has a type of strength I never would.

Really is fascinating how durable we are.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Fascinatingly durable and yet amazingly fragile too

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

While he might be emancipated, he's also emaciated.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I'm dumb, I fixed it

Although the region still produced foodstuffs sufficient to avoid famine, colonial grain exports swelled to record numbers, ensuring widespread devastation

Same mindset that billionaires have today. They'll continue extracting wealth while choking the poor out of the means of living.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 months ago

All modern-day famines are man-made. It's a crime against humanity.

[–] the_citizen@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

That's horrifying. Damn that colonialists, they put people in starvation on fertile soils.

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 16 points 4 months ago

Damn this is one of the darkest images I've seen.

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 months ago

The cruelty of empire

[–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean... Not to be taken the wrong way... But there's not really anything left for cannabilism.

Don't make me giggle at something so outrageous.
