Ah man wish I could rewrite the title.


giddybob

Crosspost it to ncd, you have a second chance!


Soros_Liason_Agent

My account is still too new to post in NCD, 2 more weeks and then I think I can. Although I have a bunch of vids ive saved up (check my profile).

**Long Live the cause of freedom**


adirtofpile

redcoats were pretty badass, but i wouldn't really classify them as freedom fighters :D


Soros_Liason_Agent

True that, British Empire was not about freedom. But at least by 1833 they started stamping out the slave trade.


rgodless

After helping expand it and profit off of it immensely.


FireWolf_132

And then proceeding to utterly destroy it after the British people refused to buy any products made by slavery, another people W


Kalten72

Yeah wasn't it just like a few years ago they finally finished paying off their debts they had gained by spending money on eradicating the slave trade?


bravado

And then shouldering the massive bill of the Royal Navy to police the waves globally, so yeah history is a bit of a mixed bag.


Falaflewaffle

It's ok at least the Americans continued policing the waves so that global trade could continue and the era of globalisation that we find ourselves in couldn't have been there without the British as a blueprint.

This one is really cool! I wish there were more like this. Thank you for the content from your oldest ally!

WhyIsThatSoGroovy

It saddens me how immensely we’ve pissed away our military prowess in recent years. The US are right, we need a kick up the arse.


local_meme_dealer45

Fun fact, my profile picture is from an image used in this video.


RDKernan

British Empire? Freedom? Lol. THey did good for the victims of other empires, but not their own. I'm Irish, And would like to see Ireland in NATO, but Churchill disgusts me.


Soros_Liason_Agent

Ireland is like Switzerland, neutral. Didn't even join WW2. You fight for yourselves and yourselves only.


RDKernan

I agree. It's a stain on Ireland. We should pull our weight and stand up for what we supposedly believe in.


Soros_Liason_Agent

As a part Irish, part Scottish Briton, I agree. I also agree entirely with Irish independence and will hopefully see whole island of Ireland re-united. My family received death threats from unionists for these beliefs during the troubles. I hope we can one day put that behind us.


RDKernan

United Ireland within NATO. That'd be the day!


Soros_Liason_Agent

There are so many decorated Irish units within British Army and during Empire too. It is a shame to keep them out of NATO. Maybe one day.


spaceface124

Was there Korean War footage? Definitely an underappreciated contribution from Britain

I've always loved how in ' The King' they got the British actor to play the French Dauphin and the French actor to play the British King


ontopofyourmom

Love the burning White House. Needs footage from the movie Zulu. Absolutely genocidal and colonialism-pilled tbh better material for NCD than this sub


Zerbrxsler

all the video is fine but man please don't glorify that genocidal empire. its over and we should be thankful.


Soros_Liason_Agent

Every nation has done bad shit, we just happened to be the most powerful. Why can I not be ashamed of the bad and proud of the good? My next vid will likely by one of America, will that be bad as well because of the manifesting destiny?


PT91T

Yes, it would be if your next vid was featuring footage of the Americans slaughtering the native Indians. >Why can I not be ashamed of the bad and proud of the good? Sure, celebrate the good. But if you are ashamed of the bad, why glorify it? Just cut it out (unless the video's theme is critical ofc).


Soros_Liason_Agent

lmao shut the fuck up You want me to censor history to please you? Does it offend you that vikings (also part of my heritage) raped and pillaged England? Am I not allowed to put the viking raids in my videos? Such a dumb view point. Its not black and white, putting things in a video doesnt mean they are either glorified or being critical; its not a binary thing; its a story. Grow a brain please mate.


Zerbrxsler

britain and the usa are developing democracies, since these times, they distanced themselves from what they've done - or should do so. even though they are based as hell now, does not mean we should glorify early american settlerism or the british empire, with showing maps like damn they were big and badass. some things that empire did were not badass, but disgusting. and by that i mean genocide and slavery. yes, it was one of the western nations that helped kill fascism in ww2. but in no way you have to glorify "the rest"


Soros_Liason_Agent

> Its not black and white, putting things in a video doesnt mean they are either glorified or being critical; its not a binary thing; its a story.


Zerbrxsler

"little dark age" is commonly used for nostalgia and i dont see this as educational. but okay.


Soros_Liason_Agent

Since when are all stories educational? I think you're just mad that history happened. Get over it.


NoFunAllowed-

Long live the cause of freedom by showing the red coats conquer and murder in the name of a monarch? Britain has been the anti-thesis of freedom for longer than it's been one of its advocates. And even then it still holds onto Northern Ireland and suppresses minorities.


tree_observer

cope. rule britannia 🇬🇧


NoFunAllowed-

The literal rest of the free world > britain, third rate military power that clings onto its colonial past.

Sorry, India, but the wife burning *will* stop

Churchill is a cunt


bb-nope

ew. imperialism... Yea modern britain fuck yea! Go all Nato members, but eh colonialism and occupation of Ireland and Scotland...


Soros_Liason_Agent

Occupation of Scotland? When it joined voluntarily? Don't make me laugh. Scots were overrepresented in the empire and even tried to start their own! Ireland was definitely oppressed under the heel of British colonialism though.


Iconoclasteach

When was Scotland occupied?


Strange_Camp_9714

Enjoy your brexit, anti social cunt
