    Im always amused watching British people online get pressed by some light banter after their nation spent centuries conquering and subjugating nations around the world. Like, there is no faster way to bunch up a British nationalist panties than by bringing up the falklands, a relatively small war that they ended up wining anyways.

      I mean 255 Brits died in that war, that is still very much in living memory.

      Like im the exact opposite of British nationalist, but of course if you’re a dickhead about that people are going to get upset. Thats not a “british bad” moment, thats just you being a cunt.
