Imagine not having an extreme hatred of Britain
Death to America
With age comes the knowledge that America and Britain are the same thing.
I honestly think of the American empire as not a new thing and more of a new form of the British empire. If Britain was Rome, we’re Byzantium.
To say a few words about this, we have here our friend and Definitely Real Socialist, Comrade Orwell. Come on up.
England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to sremoved at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always anti-British. It is questionable how much effect this had, but it certainly had some. If the English people suffered for several years a real weakening of morale, so that the Fascist nations judged that they were ‘decadent’ and that it was safe to plunge into war, the intellectual sabotage from the Left was partly responsible.
Wow George, um… wow. :rust-darkness:
Reactionaries of all imperialist nations believe this about their own country. You will hear the exact same whining in Germany, in France, even in the US, even though all of these are marked by being incredibly full of themselves and having their own brand of megalomaniac national exceptionalism.
George Orwell was just an all around garbage human being, this is just as much evidence of that as his anti-communist main works, his inability to shoot at his fellow nazis in the Spanish Civil War, him having served as a colonial cop in India, him sexually assaulting his own cousin, his snitching on British leftists complete with anti-semitism and homophobia and so on and so on. Fuck George Orwell and fuck all the artless, bloodless drivel he’s written.
Oh, and also, fuck the UK and burn all of London to the ground. It is extremist NOT to hate the English.
Thanks for saying this, I fully agree. I tried so hard to make sense of his writings and life because the mainstream “leftish” sphere holds him in such high regard. I know now that he is kept front and center in order to absorb the energy of young leftists. It would be too dangerous if people found more authentic idols to emulate…
you might have already read these but I found them really good
I don’t recommend reading it. All I could think while reading it was that Orwell was at best being a raging patsoc for an empire that rivalled even the US for its monstrousness. :pathetic:
Tory leadership is full of pick me ultra-assimilationists like him. All trying to be “one of the good ones”. See also Maggie Thatcher, or Sunak’s main competitor Liz Truss, or former competitor and TERF attorney general Suella Braverman, and sho on and sho on. I’m sure their fellow Torys love all of them for “not being easily offended” at slurs and “being able to take a joke” at their people’s expense.
England needs to be reduced to cinders.
Diaspora populations can be host to some of the biggest Uncle Toms (or local equivalent) around. After all, many of them had the choice of where to go and chose to go to Britain.
I REALLY hate to comment on India, as I know fuck all. But every reactionary Indian I meet has a super sus class background. Like his grandfather was a huge landlord before land reform, or their family were brahman.
I guess this fits most reactionaries I meet anyhow.
I’m basing my post on what I’ve experienced with various East Asian diaspora populations. Ofc each place and group of people has their different historical and materialistic circumstances and I don’t intend my post to be anything except the broadest generalization.
What’s he gonna do, out every single Irish person in prison?
Careful, the Brits already tried to genocide the Irish once. Don’t encourage them to try again.
Looks like the Anglo has forgotten the lesson of Suez and needs to be taught it again.
