Well, well, well, I have so much to say about the eternal Anglo, creator of the modern world. When I started learning English as a teenager I tried very hard to pick up the Received Pronunciation. Sir David Attenborough is my English teacher since I watched all the documentaries
narrated by him, which taught me not only English but also knowledge about the natural world. I read English books, papers and magazines, The Times, Lord of the Rings, Jane Austin, Harry Potter. I watched British movies and TV dramas, the Queen, King’s Speech, Young Elizabeth,
Becoming Jane, Sense and Sensibility, Love Actually, and the list goes on and on. I, a Manchu from Manchuria, willingly and actively Anglicized myself. So that’s the power of the Empire. Just look at my suit and tie. Plato and Herodotus, Paul and Peter wouldn’t have predicted
that such a tiny nation from such a tiny island on the periphery of Europe reshaped and remodeled the entire globe in its own image. Issac Newton and Charles Darwin permanently changed the methodology of human cognition and understanding of the natural world, James Watt, George
Stephenson, Isambard Brunel dragged us into the industrial age, Michael Faraday and James Maxwell revealed the invisible secrets of the electromagnetic field. These great names along with untold millions of royal navy sailors, pirates, merchants, opium traders, plantation owners
initiated an epic, ruthless and bloody onslaught on the rest of the world with their scientific, technological, engineering and industrial supremacy. You are not nice people, in Churchill’s own words: Of all the tribes of the Germanic race none was more cruel than the saxons.
The pale Anglo-Saxon sea people from the end of the world onboard their gun boats occupied North America and Australia, beat and humiliated China, subjugated and colonized India and many other black and brown places. Entire tribes and peoples got wiped out. The rest of the world
simply couldn’t organize any form of effective resistance. The empire reached its peak with the power of the Industrial Revolution and the immense wealth it looted from its colonies, and China in the name of “free trade”. I don’t think shoving opium down the throat of China
by force is in any sense in line with the spirit of free trade. But might is right. The eternal Anglo later beautified himself and reinvented himself as the harmless self made gentleman and started to talk about rules based order. But you can’t fool me. I’m Anglicized, remember?
We must consider and take into account both wealth creation through Industrial Revolution and plundering of other peoples and nations, which facilitated the rise of the British Empire. But all the knowledge can be comprehended and learned. The Industrial Revolution can spread
just like the wheel, the gun and the horse did. While le Indians keep whining about muh $45 trillion saar. The Chinese quietly learned every good thing from the west and also harnessed the power of the industrial revolution. We beat you in your own game. Nowadays England or
enjoys mixed perceptions in China. I still try to speak English as eloquently as I can. A tie and a suit are still the gold standard for male appeal. The British empire left its mark on mankind, permanently. The Anglo became eternal. And we still keep learning from Albion.
Today’s Britain already lost its steam, valor and merits, and has no place in the fierce economic/technological competition between great powers. Britain isn’t a great power anymore. It looks lost and feels lost. We pity the eternal Anglo for his current pathetic state of affairs
It has a fake service based economy with fake jobs which don’t produce anything but political activism, nonsense, hubris and complacency. The police doesn’t even investigate rampant grooming gangs because Brits are afraid of being called racist. How pathetic is that? Thousands
of British girls got raped and nobody gives a fuck. The brown mayor of London just told everyone terrorism and rapes are part and parcel of city life. The brown prime minister is a wordcel careerist who has no vision, no resolve, no substance, not even love for you cuz he is
fucking brown. Albion is lost. I doubt you can get it back. The English language is still in my humble opinion the most beautiful language in the world. A properly tailored suit and a tie will always look good on a guy. And hence I will end my essay on my rating of England.
@HarveyBrady hope the second half of harsh words don’t hurt your feelings.
