Interesting how dang allows HN to turn into 4chan every single time an opportunity arises for some xenophobe to espouse their hatred for British people.

We probably have a different definition for xenophobia.

Is anything I said not factually accurate? What triggered you? Tge empire bit? The British empire was huge and controled the world at one point in time. The fact that the economy is collapsing? The fact that immigrants are treated like shift in UK?

Every country and political system has to live with the monsters they created, UK included.

well, this isn't:

> The fact that the economy is collapsing?

meanwhile the Germany economy is predicted to contract

You didn't say anything unreasonable or inaccurate at all.

HN or HN mods are against British people? Have you not seen a single one of the Monty Python links I've posted?

This is an extreme case of how everyone with strong passions always feels like the community and/or mods are against them*. It's striking to what absurd lengths this principle goes. I don't mean pick on you personally—this mechanism seems to be hard-wired in all of us.

I promise you that neither the mods nor the community hate British people. Personally I love them/you, and I'm confident most of the community here ranges from love to neutral, and nowhere near hate. No doubt some nasty anti-British comments have appeared here—but that's because everything appears here. It's a large public internet forum.
