neo-Nazis in British Army arrested

[Smitty-48]

Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell, Vivien Leigh? Ever heard of them?

British yes, but not actually English; all in fact Indians; born in the Raj.

Wasn't called the Jewel in the Crown for nothing, far better to be British in the Raj, than to live in dreary old England, the Raj was the playground, of the British elites.

When the British brought their Indian troops to England to fight the First World War, the troops said "what a hell hole this is, freezing cold, and all it does is rain".

My old lady, the English major, was pretty bummed when I broke the news to her that Kipling was a blue eyed devil simply living in the land of the Raj, and not an actual child of the Raj.

[Smitty-48]

Nonsense, he was indeed a child of the Raj, and upon Crown rule of India in 1858, being a child of the Raj, was to be British by default, although, not English, and in fact, the British of the Raj, looked down on England, as being an industrial wasteland of slums, with bad weather, bad food, and bad service.

Also, my free speech hating former employer was bummed upon learning that sooooowell's name is pronounced Suhwull, but not as much as he was when learned he is black.

You know, the first Englishmen to go to the Raj, did not go as conquerers, they went as adventurers, to make their fortunes, but they didn't opress the locals, they didn't mistreat them, they didn't put themselves above them, they married Indian women, they had children with them, in the early days of the Raj, it was actually quite symbiotic, it was only later, as more and more Britons came to the Raj, that it became more opressive and domineering. Mind you, still could make your fortunes, a middle class Enlighman was as a rich man, as soon as he stepped off the boat in India.

I remember reading that Rudyard Kipling poem about the Dell Call Center when I was in elementary school.

Give it up.

Yes, you Americans are obsessed with ethnicity, always have been, you used to panic about too many Germans and Irish moving in, now you panic about Mexicans and Muslims, but not actually the case for the British, you may think "American" is some sort of race, but the British Empire, was a place not a race.

[heydaralon]

You placist bastard! I remember when you wouldn't even be in the same room as maps of certain countries! You also refused to learn the white man's geography.

It amuses me how these civic nationalists cling to their bankrupt ideas amidst the debris and bodies of their crumbling societies. At this point I think this civic nationalist tripe qualifies as a cult.
