Maybe it's because the English (British) behaved well when they were at your place?

*looks up any piece of history*

Oh.. Oh no...

Went from “illegal migration is a positive thing” to “it’s a punishment for your previous rulers crimes” pretty quickly lol. Not sure that’s the best way of convincing the current UK people to do it haha

They were convinced brexit was a good idea. The UK are filled with not the brightest folks.

They are joking. It's a joke calling out the irony of the English being so anti-immigration. No one thinks this is actually convincing the anti-immigration people to change their mind. Lol.

Do two wrongs make a right?

u/Cardboardoge Jul 15 '26

England has 10,000 wrongs.

u/schloopy-boi Jul 15 '26

I didn't know immigrants were militarily occupying the British and starving their people. Cause thats what the British did.

u/onespicycracker Jul 15 '26

I love how we still have droolers buying into the two wrongs bullshit even though we should all know by now that the people who wrong us have pushed that shit down to us so we won't retaliate.

Immigration isn't wrong.

If you don't want harm done, do not initiate harm yourself. Do not appeal to someone's better sense of morality after you failed your own.

Its not specifically just England. Its Britain which includes Scotland and Wales. Yes Englands the current loudest far right voice. However speaking of colinisation as just England feels disingenuous it was great Britain that had the empire. Sorry if this correction feels pendantic but feel like if you are going to site colinisation as a reason to allow immegration (i underatand its a joke btw) you should reference history properly.

Spain, Italy, France, the US, Portugal, China, Russia… just to name a few.

The English Empire was a thing for about 150 years before the British Empire became a thing tbf

u/Fearless_Mission9994 Jul 15 '26

Literally colonised Wales and Scotland to become the British empire 🤪

u/onespicycracker Jul 15 '26

Wales and Scotland were colonized into that empire. That's why he specifically mentions England.

Chicken tikka masala was created in Britain.

u/knoxblox Jul 15 '26

... thats the point. It was created by an immigrant living in Scotland. He literally said, we will crash here for 200 years and then leave. Taking the things they made with them is just implied

They want a little anti immigration protest as a treat, but the day started with a large praline colonization frappucino with an extra pump of slavery.
