We are inflicted with arrogance and a lack of accountability as well as so much ****ing entitlement it's a wonder we've survived this long.

Modern day Britain is a nation of bootlickers that will gladly do whatever they're told to do and believe in by the tabloids and will constantly vote against their own interests with the delusion that things will eventually get better when they won't.

Also the constant rising rate in all kinds of hate crime makes the whole 'we celebrate diversity' spiel quite pointless. Patriotism is a blindfold, and too many people are willingly blind. Things will never truly get better until the bootlickers stop acting pissy when someone mentions the flaws of this country. The country is flawed to a serious degree and all these bootlickers who are all like 'This country is great, don't like it? LEAVE' are only allowing the rot to fester because they're too cowardly to face reality.

I'd rather embrace reality by pointing out the flaws in hopes they get fixed then pretend the boat isn't sinking as the water engulfs me.

That's rubbish. Not all the people in those countries believe that. There are some that believe they were far better off being for the British empire.

I mean, this tiny little island fought, paid for and lost many, many lives to eradicate slavery from the World. The millions and millions of lives that were saved because of that are very thankful. And the millions of lives lost because the Empire fell are praying for a return.

What this little island did for the World is the greatest story in the history of mankind.

Sure, it's not all good, but the good outweighs the bad, which is more than can be said for every other country. If you only highlight the bad stuff, then of course your argument is going to be right. But why leave out the good stuff?
