People shouldn’t hate on the British. They should hate on the English, specifically.
Why the English specifically? Do you think Scotland and Wales are some sort of unwilling collaborators or victims?

Scotland is a colony. Scottish people were also involved in the British colonial project. All of us continue to live the imperial mode with different degrees of enthusiasm.

Unwilling collaborators to what, exactly? To the troubles? The Partition of Ireland? The Tudor Conquest of Ireland and the Plantation of Ulster? The British Empire in general? Or whatever the fuck the Britain is doing on the world stage now? There isn’t much of anything that Britain has done to Ireland that England didn’t also do to Scotland, or the Anglo-Normans to Wales. But I was just going by the fact that England is where all the Tory voters are.
