For most of world history UK has kind of been among the worst countries in the world. They were committing atrocities in the name of preserving religious ideals before nazis were even a thing. Their leadership has been starving their citizens while the monarchy lives with lavish excess since before north korea ever existed. Committing war crimes used to be as commonplace back in the day as afternoon tea.
How the UK somehow fell into public favor online seems like an anomaly to me. They got attacked during WW2 and then weren’t communists during the cold war. Big woop-de-doo. People usually speak highly of UK online but any time they’re in the news it’s because they’re doing something truly awful (recently moving towards establishing a regime of online censorship on par with that of China’s).
I am shocked whenever I see people reacting to something shitty the UK is doing like its some kind of unprecedented unexpected event. They’ve been doing this type of shit for THE LAST THOUSAND YEARS. All I’m saying is they deserve A LOT more hate than they currently get.

while all fair criticisms, name a country that hasn’t? it’s pretty much just the history of people.
Neither was Russia /hottake
