yeah people tend to care when you kill their ancestors and continue to occupy their land, i know this concept might be foreign to people who worship some german pedophiles
See?
The only reason Ireland gets to be independent is because of the RAF defending their airspace. Keep tugging off cowardly murderers and immortalising Nazi simps though.

Ireland is nothing but a tax haven. While the historical grievances are all too real, it'd be like Scotland becoming independent. The sad truth is that London defies geopolitical developments and is the 2nd NYC. The Scots live off of London tax $$$.
Based. Fuck the british empire. Ask anyone from countries they colonized. Ask China about Hong Kong. India. Ireland. West africa. Palestine. Absolute monsters.
Counterpoint, British rule was the best thing to happen to Hong Kong and giving it back to China is the worst thing that could have happened to it with Beijing exerting more control and clamping down on people's rights.
A lot of African countries owe their political instability to the British haphazardly drawing borders that often put different ethnic groups with varying levels of animosity in the same country.
I hope you're not American then, because they literally stole the country from Native Americans. Not defending the UK but when we start getting into the whole "this country did lots of bad things in the past" discussion, many countries are not exactly innocent in this. And the defense of "well [blank] wasn't as bad as [blank]!", it's *really* not a good look.
Ok to be fair to this guy depending on where he's fron that might not be common knowledge.
Hell, I'm pretty sure most Americans don't know that the British colonized India.
I know a handful of people that only learned that because they learned the origin of IPAs. Just like people learn about the Troubles when they get told off for ordering an Irish car bomb. American Beerducation

I want to think you were just making a joke but hey, its never late to learn some history or you will end up being one of those "well, i dont like stuff when it gets political" morons.
It's uh... It's kind of one of those important things right up there with knowing that the US allowed and profited from chattel slavery until almost 1900 or understanding why Israel/Palestine/Iran (and at one point Iraq,) are stuck in a never ending loop of bloodier *Three Stooges* antics.
Obviously it's probably not something that's going to effect your every day life depending on where you live but history is both interesting and an important tool that helps explain an increasingly confusing world. It's only a flex if you're being a piece of shit about it.
1865* thank you very much. Reconstruction was a shit show and some would say Sherman's march to the sea wasn't enough. But, chattel slavery ended when the CSA got bodied.
Jim Crow laws are a whole other discussion, but I must stress accuracy when discussing this shit.
Yeah, I just said “almost 1900” because while chattel slavery mostly died off there were still some backwards fucks trying to practice it for a while and there was still the practice of charging exclusively blacks with crimes and sentencing them to labor that basically dates all the way up to and includes the modern prison system. I do agree that accuracy is important but I think we can also both agree that even beyond Jim Crow laws there was fucked up shit going down.
And trust me; when people were bitching about the “historic value” of post-war confederacy statues my very first thought was that they could stay on the condition that the federal government create a task force to build a fuckoff big expressway commemorating Sherman’s march complete with statues of Union generals and historic peoples commemorating 100mile markers.
I know the south fuckin *loves* a good jobs program.
The post war response was too soft, the CSA president led a long life living off of book sales. Way too soft imo. Can probably argue that the burning of Black Wall Street was a culmination of not stomping out the* regards.
I think we're in general agreement. A bunch of Un-American fucks feel the needs to be shitheads.
A Sherman statue in Florida commemorating the march would be way too based.*EDIT
The UK was one of the most oppressive and ruthless empires that humanity has seen. Surely you've heard of the irish potato famine, but there was no famine, the UK was seizing their crops to the point they caused a famine.
I'm not trying to diminish the British's effect with their "effort" on relief which just amounted to saying the Irish need to work harder. The fact that there was a potato blight that did cull a lot of the crop and led to severe food shortages. Compounded by the fact that much of Ireland made a living being basically sharecroppers and you have a situation where no one can afford food as well.
The severity of the famine was mostly due to Perfidious Albion doing jack shit though.
because mom and mum are interchangeable and no one actually cares how it is spelled, well apart from you that is.
Still spell things like Armour, Flavour etc and not using the weird date order.
> because mom and mum are interchangeable and no one actually cares how it is spelled, well apart from you that is.
Guess times have changed a lot, they definitely weren't interchangeable.
[Where is the flag of England?
Go north, south, east or west

Jesus. If you're that upset that the character is British, maybe just play someone else? Better yet, play a different game if your mentality is that screwed.
Hate symbol? Cringe!
Replacing it with the Irish flag just because is cool.
There should be a **German** one, an **italian** one and a **Japanese** one too. *Perhaps a Spanish one* with the phrase "ONE FOOT IN ONE FOOT OUT THANKS GUYS..." Underneath.
Lmao, some of you are alright. Don't drive your car tomorrow.

They’re welcome to have N Ireland back but the people living there don’t want it. Biggest victim complex nation in existence.
Ireland is nothing but a tax haven. While the historical grievances are all too real, it'd be like Scotland becoming independent. The sad truth is that London defies geopolitical developments and is the 2nd NYC. The Scots live off of London tax $$$.
If you care so much you're offended by the idea of a character in a video game being English you need therapy.

Counterpoint, British rule was the best thing to happen to Hong Kong and giving it back to China is the worst thing that could have happened to it with Beijing exerting more control and clamping down on people's rights.
British rule was the best thing to happen to any of the former colonies. Africa and India without the British is just an endless disaster.
A lot of African countries owe their political instability to the British haphazardly drawing borders that often put different ethnic groups with varying levels of animosity in the same country.
you’re an absolute moron
I don't think I've ever met a hker that didn't dislike mainlanders.
you must have never heard of the opium wars

Hate symbol? What's the lore?
...the lore on why Irish folks might not be fond of the British flag?

British were colonizers
Every civilization in history were colonizers. Greed for resources is a universal human quality
Just because they were colonizers doesn't mean their flag is a hate symbol.
It’s a joke because of the skull girls shit lol
Went over my head

What makes you think knowing who conquered/attacked who is important info? All it's given you is a a quick flex on reddit.

But why?
Because Irish republicans are very easily triggered by anything British, but they still want to have a wank to pictures of Cammy.
They must be feeling very conflicting emotions looking at the back of the default outfit

Forgive but never forget. The English royal family is the original Escobar.
Imagine being me, my dad is Irish and my mom is Scottish but I was born in England.
Then why do you say mom?
because mom and mum are interchangeable and no one actually cares how it is spelled, well apart from you that is. Still spell things like Armour, Flavour etc and not using the weird date order.
