@IronDuke64 @JoshFerme We can have an honest discussion about the pros and cons of British colonialism or you can lie to yourself. I am not engaging with this obvious ahistorical argument

When we first arrived in India in the 18th century, we already had a higher standard of living than India does today. Somehow, I doubt that we "looted" $45 trillion.
narsa.@rathor7_
Built with $45 trillion looted from India.

@JoshFerme Unlike the American's the English absolutely took advantage of it's colonies. The Americans treated theirs much like the Romans treated theirs. It's why America is loved and England is loathed

@eggroll53973785 @wonderparlour Where is the closest pub from where this was taken?
English
At this time of year, a round trip to London costs around £1,400–£1,500 (¥300,000), and the thought of hotel prices there is enough to make one look away.
So when British guests come to my café, it fills me with a particular kind of happiness. For a small independent café owner like myself, their visit keeps the feeling of Britain gently alive in my heart, and with it, the will to carry on.

@Charl3sZ @SomiEkhasomhi If the space has no value to them why are they still there?
English
@SomiEkhasomhi If whites want all white stories, cool but they seem to short circuit when Black people say that those spaces have zero value to Black people because their white narcissism leads them to believe that whatever they create matters to everyone.
And it doesn't.
English
Why are you policing fantasy worlds that white people create instead of enjoying the all-black fantasy worlds that black authors have created?
Sweet Pea@GOATMODE69
I do not have to accept that white people create fantasy worlds that deliberately exclude people of color and I certainly don’t have to watch them
English
@InsaneCope Oh so now the Portuguese are white? Wasn't there saying the opposite a few weeks ago?

@HaznutTv_YT @DAKKADAKKA1 Fun thing to counter anyone bitching about Gabe's mega yacht... It's used for marine research and not just a masturbatory thing because he's rich
English
Lmao Gabe Newell when faced with an employee with cancer changed their employed status to “get better” and kept them at full salary the entire ordeal and paid out the insurance.
Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic
@BackersGamesF Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.

@peterrhague These are the same people who claimed nobody was at the unite the kingdom march. Them being disingenuous now isn't a surprise
English
The police believe it to be ten times smaller. And it’s full of actual jihadists, so well done on that
Earth Hippy 🌎🕊️💚@hippyygoat
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MARCHES IN BRITISH HISTORY Over half a million on the streets of London against… WAR, GENOCIDE & FASCISM✊🏼

@Teunemansvb We don’t have one? All of nukes need US approval, I’d argue France is the only European nation with an independent nuclear deterrent
English
"Responsible military spending" and it's abolishing their country's last nuclear deterrent 😭
Alejandro🌹🇪🇺@Alejandro_SocEU
Why vote Greens over Labour? 🌱 • Responsible military spending • Willing to call out human rights abuses (yes, even Israel & the US) • Zero tolerance for racism & transphobia • Wealth tax for a fairer society • Real ambition to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 If Labour wants to recover, it’s simple: do this. They have three years to make it happen.

@reddit_lies I am required to point out that more Europeans die from a lack of AC every summer than Americans are killed by guns every year.
English
@jordan_wx_left @DeIudedShaniqwa Lmao, guess you don't know about the Muslims then or anything else
English
@DeIudedShaniqwa Africa absolutely would have been better off if it weren’t for slavery and colonization perpetrated by European powers
English
Africans unironically believe they’d be better off in a world without whites lmfao… who do you think is funding your entire existence?

The world when the remaining 8% finally reduce to 0%
English
@punishedudon Yes, it's privileged to be able to purchase a gaming console with literal trash you have scavenged. Ffs
English
Americans on twitter will look you dead in the eyes and call this privileged

@RevivedOziach Truuuue derailing vg discourse for their agenda piss me off. Cis people have bad opinions all the time.

@BasedOrbi @suincel Refurbished enterprise shit is basically bulletproof aswell
English
how leftist niggas with xitter premium pro max look at you when you tell them to buy a pc/console instead of another iphone (they dont understand anything more advanced than a tv)
Ketchoop@ketchoopuwahh
I’m sorry I can’t sell an arm and a leg for both a console and a game and all I can do is watch play throughs bc this economy is fucking shit.
English
"eat the rich"
and it's normal people working a shitty 9-5 to be able to afford their hobbies
like a $60-$70 video game a couple times a year 💀
English
English
@GodlyYt3 @ketchoopuwahh It is a lot to put towards a hobby specifically. Its why most people have to save up to own a console but if you have multiple hobbies then gaming is hella expensive to get. Again 100 is just the base requirement at best.

Mona🚫@ankowaifu
in my opinion, if you don't have the means to experience a videogame yourself then you should simply not be a fan of it, there are more hobbies out there
English
If you're Irish and you support ICE your ancestors would fucking spit on you, by the way.
English
@filer0040 Respect people and their identity no matter if they annoy you or not. Because they're people.
The only time you shouldn't respect an identity is when they use it to oppress others (like Christians often do).
English
Would be a much better question to ask why all the trаnnies trying to "crack eggs" are in there, but no
Pointing out a problem is always worse than the problem to you lot

why are you in r/teenagers

@DigbyUnbroken @envisionedluna Getting abused thrown down the mic at you is the standard for men past and present so treated the same or better please chose
English
@envisionedluna 10-15 years ago you would get toxic shit no matter who you were. But only in some spaces. In other games, parties, chats, you would get treated exactly the same as a man, which is to say, fucking get your shit together and help me kill this dude
English
10-15 yrs ago if you were girl and turned on mic you would get kitchen jokes and rape threats.
I had girlfriends who were stalked by guys online over RuneScape.
The cherry on top is that nobody cared, if you called it out you were a feminazi bitch
Delusional take
yeet@Awk20000
Pokimane on how gaming online has changed for women in the past 10-15 yrs “Ppl were actually so nice..would gift u free stuff..now..I feel like girls are lil bit scared to..always been some issues in relation 2 misogyny but at 1 point it didnt feel so bad”
