How did it happen?

I check 8/pol/ basically daily, so wouldn't mind coming back to read 'em, user.

The concept of the "imperialist Briton" began to dissolve in the late 20s with devolution to the white Dominions (Canada, ANZ). I speak of it in two parts: power to maintain the Empire, and will to maintain the Empire.

The Empire's power was dealt a crushing blow after WWII, when India, Pakistan and Burma left the Empire; Britain was too economically and culturally exhausted to attempt anything else; there were too many foreign powers invested in India*; and people were more focussed, by consensus, on the "welfare state" and recovery from the war. After that, reduced to more domestic terms, Britain was rapidly eclipsed militarily by the USA and Russia, in the developing Cold War. She was, out of necessity, forced to shelter herself under the American wing.

Her will to Empire was undermined by WWII as well. It's hard to maintain your conquests when you've just spent several years liberating Germany's (and convincing your people, justifiably for the war effort, of the virtues of liberating nations from foreign oppressors). As in the USA and on the Continent, the will of the people was altered, ruined maybe, in the cultural revolutions of 1968. It was then shattered entirely by the general malaise of the 1970s - the oil crisis, exclusion from the EEU, the strikes, the shuttered mines, the Winter of Discontent.

Maybe it's hard to pick any specific date where the Empire died, but at least in the British soul, it was somewhere between 1929 and 1979.

I might add the following:

If there is an "national anger" today - whatever force drives us, Nigel, Dalrymple, National Action, anyone who would not like to see the country Islamised - I do not feel it is the same force that drove the "civilising Englishman", the colonising force that established the First or even the Second Empire**.

It is instead the anger that first reared its head with Thatcher and the Falklands - a new will, stripped of its glory, stripped of any Empire or Commonwealth, the anger of a Britain which is once again, for the first time in many centuries, subjugate to foreign powers. Britain's defense is now handled by Washington, her laws by Brussels, and her money by (((who knows where))). She is no longer bound by any position of strength to be "gracious in victory", no longer obligate to "take up the white man's burden." And so, finally, there is nothing holding back the new force of Britain, from being as vicious and as violent as the circumstances demand. She is in a corner, and fighting for her survival.

* If Britain had tried to suppress Indian freedom, barring unrest at home and outcry from abroad, she might have found support from Portugal - who were famously salty about the seizure of Goa in the 1960s - but few other friends.

** By the traditional division, pre- and post-1776.

this was the one I was trying to respond to>>6139341

nice word salad britshit

I think it's shills trying to start shit. 6124c7 (just one example) has attacked Brits, Americans and Germans, claimed to be Catholic but calls Christianity "kike on a stick", and posted smug anime girls like an Holla Forums faggot.

I am utterly disappointed in all of you. This fag isn't even bothering to switch IPs and you're swallowing his crap hook, line and sinker.

Where did I ever claim to be Catholic?

Delusional eurocucks at it again

As the current situation stands, they're beginning to punish us for not letting them have their pinko revolution and holding onto the pendulum with too tight of a grasp that they are scared if they let go

The issue being is the establishment sees the problem, trying to repeal Shariah Law and courts and giving us a Brexit from the EU as we speak but it's probably too late.

When the pendulum swings back, it's going to cause a massive shock wave. What happens next, who can say?

However we live in rather interesting times in the UK.

The same could be said of Germany, however, who are also going through somewhat of a similar phase as us. Austria, France and Spain too.

A seed has been planted for a rehash of 1848 and the fruit has begun to sprout. It is going to end in blood, sweat and tears.

I predict a chemical attack in Manchester by (((ISIS))) being the first step. Our situation will be rather unique to the rest of Europe, but we're still in the same fight.

t. Anglo who has a cold and can't sleep.

tl;dr

tbh brit/pol/ convinced me that brits deserve the ovens just as badly as muslims, but not quite as badly as jews
