They were bourgeoisie through the crown, at least the Scots that were traders in the American market.

As a Canadian, I find this incredibly hilarious.

If I had to choose between being British and American, I think I'd just kill myself.

As much as I despise the imperial legacy of my home country, this got a laugh out of me.

What did you Yankees do to the country of the Fist Nations? Take America Back should be the cry

I'm mean...... If we're pointing fingers about the colonization and genocide of indigenous people, I don't know if the British really have room to make a lot of criticisms without a huge helping of hypocrisy.

Most of the deaths of indigenous people in North America happened before the concept of America even occurred. Some of the most horrific violence that ever occurred in North America was perpetrated during the King Phillips war by English colonialists.

I do always get a bit of a chuckle that the chunk of time when America was the British gets taught and treated as American as if the USA was already a thing.

It's very strange.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 2 points 53 minutes ago

Yeap, a lot of people didn't really start seeing themselves as culturally American until the 1840s.

That blue guy better not be a Brit talking about colonialism. Come to think of it, better not be Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese either.

The Scots are a bit more chill. With the English stickers, that’s what they call “banter” (i.e. essentially shitposting), but when you see a St. George’s flag, there’s always an edge of aggression to it.

Not that Scottish football fans can’t be aggressive, just that they refer to the Northern Irish sectarian conflict when doing so.

They just become more docile the further they get from Buckfast Abbey.
