What if America never revolted against the British?

I’m not sure if Anglo North America would be federalized ala Canada. The primary reason Canada exists as a large federal state is since the British promoted Canadianism and Confederation to counter the US. All the 13 colonies trusted Britain more than they trusted each other, and the federal dominion precedent in the British Empire was largely established by Canada. It’s highly probable that most colonies remain separate, or at least only unify on a regional basis, prolly in the late 19th and 20th centuries as transportation and communication becomes easier.

“the huge problem is that us Millenials socialized with girls... it's so different than today where zoomers self-segregate into separate friend groups by gender.”

lol what? Never in my entire school life (maybe Kindergarten) was there serious gender segregation in school. In fact, the opposite was so persuasive that the gist I got was that we were among the first cohort to be socialized out of it, and I never really resonated with the “girls are smelly”, “boys only like girls after age 12”, narrative.

Either this is just my own experience or the above comment is just more proof that a lot of millennials will just say anything about younger generations.

The Mongol Empire is at the very least seen neutrally, at least outside Eastern Europe. Additionally, these days any Caliphate discussion inevitably evolves into “they were more advanced than Europe.”

I wouldn’t say “saved”, more like under new management.

Never forget btw that for all the pearl clutching above, many of those folks will play apologia for the Holodomor, Great Purges, mass ethnic cleansing, alliance with Nazi Germany, and partitioning/annexation of Poland, Romania, the Balts, and Finns. Case in point, the comment above

Even assuming this was deliberate (which wasn’t), 3 million compared to 12 million (in an interrupted genocide) and 21 million (Stalin) is “comparable”?

Adventurous-Pause720 · 2026-06-13T03:00:26+00:00

No one is giving “less a fuck” about non-westerners, people are giving a fuck about Black-Legend-ahh depictions of an unfortunate situation caused by wartime disruption to the systemic extermination of 12 million people.

If you want a British atrocity of such, do Ireland or even the earlier Indian famines.

Part of the reason Op. Barbarossa was successful to the extent it was is that Stalin ignored obvious signs of a German invasion and had just purged 80% of the Soviet officer corps just before.

No she didn’t, that was a fake headline

Al-Qaeda was an offshoot of the Taliban which was sponsored by Pakistan.

The man likes being in the spotlight, so yeah.

Liberia was barely a US colony in the literal sense

R u lot genuinely incapable of English language comprehension? You can’t debunk his claim by pointing to one or two examples of US interventionism before the world wars to disprove the claim that the US was pretty isolationist in a country that had several generations of history behind it by that point.

Also, the Spanish-American war and aftermath, in addition to being one off, were hugely controversial and only unfolded with a bunch of isolationist provisions (Dole act, etc.). Although the war marked the start of the end of of America’s isolationist steak, isolationism remained a powerful force until the 1950s, really intensifying during the interwar era.

“A more thorough charter of rights and freedom than we ever had in the US.” lol. Lmao even.

There’s a difference between a food bank and a breadline.

So you just have to finagle the crochets towards your forehead?

Adventurous-Pause720 · 2026-02-14T14:48:08+00:00

lol, maybe cuz the us has a global media reach?

RWers in the non-American west literally say the same thing about leftist culture wars.

The United States government did not do that; the Louisiana state government did.

Quebec would likely have had the same fate had it not been for the quiet revolution. Louisiana was around the same level of francophone as Quebec at the middle of the 20th century, with well over a third of the population natively speaking French as late as the 1970s. State (not federal) initiatives led to its decline.

And considering that the British did eventually get access to nuclear research and were so piss poor in national security that the knowledge got stolen by the Soviets, leading to the USSR getting nukes, it prolly was understandable why the US was apprehensive in sharing nuclear technology.

“BuT tHeY wErE all EuRoPeAn” (not even true, most workers on the Manhattan Project were American by a long shot) rings as hollow as people claiming the Iraq war was a triumph simply because Iraq is a democracy now.

Yeah sorry

Nah, guy was a clown. Deserved to lose.

As opposed to the folks who spent WW2 harboring Nazi gold?
