> the british state still live in a dreamworld where this country is an empire even the faggots at the guardian still think like this.  they seethe about the empire, but yet they have some kind of assumption that this country also has the kinds of obligations that we once had and must live up to a role in the world that a great power has. you'll find people at the guardian saying: > we don't have an empire any more  > british status in the world has faded > we are irrelevant > we are not a wealthy country any more more and yet, if there's a war or some kind of crisis somewhere, these same fuckholes will say we "have" to intervene politically/take in refugees/give money/aid/do something etc. because we just do do ok?! fucking tiresome. even they don't *really* think in terms of us being a post-imperial declining power. how many brits would be more than happy for this place to be like a hungary but an island in nw europe and just not fucking get involved in foreign bullshit? i would be.
