  • Would you still feel that way, about the very first part, if I was to remind you that some of the Russian oligarchs were crime bosses who took power and wealth by force?

    Admittedly, it doesn’t have the hereditary rule part but that, for me, would simple fall under “the difference is the passage of time.” I see it much like the difference between a cult and a religion.



  • As a British person, I had a few awkward conversations with other British people when I’ve asked them to explain the difference between a royal or a higher level aristocrat and an oligarch.

    It seems to be something to do with the length of time society had to endure their bastardry. Well, it’s either that or that they’re not from the Oligar region of Russia. Its one of the two.

    What a bitter child you are and its hilarious that you think those things bother me or that I don’t agree that the British library should give all those things back.

    To claim Britain has little to no culture and no national identity is just brain dead. No, your ignorance is not a substitute for a cogent argument and to hear it from an American of all people is just tragic. What little culture you have is what you stole from Europe, claiming it to be your own, or stolen from African Americans.

    I engaged on with and corrected the nonsense you were spewing. Theres no need to throw your toys out the pram over it. I wouldn’t need to talk about the food from here, if you weren’t spewing dumb nonsense. Learn the lesson, child. I mean, memes are all good and the above is funny but theres always some immature bigots like you who have to take it too far and make stupid things up.


  • Apple pie is from England, even if you don’t want it to be. Its not even about it not being American but it having flavour and being nice to eat.

    They swapped out chicken for turkey and used the exact same recipe and cooking style. Declaring it unconnected changes nothing.

    Green beans is a substitute for the exact same green veg you get with a British roast meal. If I put peas into a stir fry, it doesn’t make the meal not Chinese lol.

    Again, how can you not see those mildy adapted British things as British?


  • Its almost as if they just swapped out the chicken for turkey, having discovered and been using potatoes for years beforehand.

    Nothing on the apple pie then? Just the one you thought you could refute, it would seem.

    By your wild “logic” that would make every pork dish ever Chinese and Southern fried chicken Indian, as the pigs we eat today and chickens come from China and India respectfully.
