> Britain murdered and raped the rest of the world

Now you're just rationalizing what's going on in England today. Every country on the planet fought tooth and nail for all of our existence.

> 1/6th of all British forces in WW2 were Indian

I like how you make the distinction between Indian and Britain.

> values of hard work which the "multi-generational English" people seem to have forgotten

All that hard work only seems to matter in the context of European and North American and Australian countries for some reason.Why isn't India the greatest GDP country on the planet if what you're saying is true?

I'm a huge fan of brown people and all people in general. I'm just not a huge fan of the billions of a singular culture subsuming the world simply because they don't have ecologically responsible numbers of children. Indians are fleeing India but you can't flee the planet.

Wrong on every point. Luckily right now I have the patience to correct you.

> Every country on the planet fought tooth and nail for all of our existence

Ah yes. Killing hundreds of millions and siphoning off trillions over couple hundred years, only to "fight for your own existence". You even worship Churchill as a hero who was worse than Hitler. You are a joke.

> I like how you make the distinction between Indian and Britain.

Asians were considered as a different class/caste in your own English legal system and denied certain rights back then. So yeah.

> Why isn't India the greatest GDP country on the planet if what you're saying is true?

Yeah, and why can't we solve nuclear fusion already? Surely it only takes a few years...

> because they don't have ecologically responsible numbers of children

Poverty leads to high birth rates, not culture. If you had the slightest clue about anything you would understand that fundamental fact. Read up on demographic transition, and how it has been delayed in Asia/Africa because of European imperialism. I recommend the book Factfulness by Hans Rosling. Birth rates are falling everywhere and human population will hit the peak in a few decades. As for fucking the planet, read up on which countries have the highest cumulative emissions and continue to have high per-capita emissions because of their greedy lifestyles. There was a time when London had worse air than Delhi today. Things change, unlike your static worldview.

I'm really starting to question the quality of your education system, maybe that's why your country is failing. No worries, we're here to take the wheel. Signing off from London, UK.

You lost me at Churchill is worse than Hitler. He's a British hero and to be honest a European hero.

It's clear that some of the Indian people flooding into England have minimal respect for the British culture. It's just something they have to memorize to get the immigration paper. I wonder how many Indian people in power have the same views.

Its just sad to see an entire culture that gave the world so much...subsumed by a culture that has ecologically irresponsible amounts of children.

To be fair the British are opening the doors to let it happen.

> You lost me at Churchill is worse than Hitler

For Indians*. It's not hard to understand, Churchill caused more harm than Hitler in India.

> people flooding into England have minimal respect for the British culture

Wrong. I respect rule of law, democratic institutions, scientific rigour, equality, secularism. That I believe is British culture. I will always root for these values, and indeed these are also the fundamental values of the Indian constitution. My problem is only with people like you who have forgotten these values. I consider myself more British than you. Well tbf I consider myself a global citizen.

What I do not respect is denial of your own history, weird unfounded superiority complex and meddling in other countries affairs. US and allies have a history of supporting non-democratic genocidal regimes in many parts of the world including the Indian subcontinent, all while claiming a moral high ground.

> subsumed by a culture that has ecologically irresponsible amounts of children.

You don't learn do you? Go read the book I mentioned in my previous comment.

> To be fair the British are opening the doors to let it happen.

There are many Brits smarter than you who see the bigger picture.

I'm actually not British but you're right the Brits can't even fight for their own country they kind of deserve it to become unrecognizable and run by people who think Hitler would have been better running things than Churchill.

Good for you Indians. Keep up the good work of turning Britain into your home literally.
