Are brit writers worst than USA when it comes to the "We are better than everyone else" trope?
>>
The British superiority complex was charming until they became Muslims.
>>
>>85583372
Examples?
>>
>>85583470
Almost every not DC/MARVEL print?
>>
No, brit sense of superiority is charming because it's like a dotty old man who believes he still has the power to actually accomplish something, while USA is a jacked up bro who starts fights that can only win half of the time, but leaves the place a mess.
>>
And Aussie writers are...

I can't finish that sentence, Australians aren't literate enough to be writers.

>Are brit writers worst than USA when it comes to the "We are better than everyone else" trope?

Jesus Christ, /co/...

In times of boredom, the British empire would manufacture false events on foreign lands to entertain theirselves, you know what the biggest and longest running one is? The US. The constitution and the bill of rights were fake, the founding fathers? Highly devoted thespians who were as loyal to the crown as they were to Shakespeare. This entire country is just one big false event that's been spiraled into a world-wide spectacle. So, in other words the brits still rule and we all live in a world where the sun never sets on the British empire. The "trope" of them being better than us is simply their attempt to ease the United States' citizens into the truth of their situation

>fights they can't win
Lol, good one
The fights the US can't win are more analogous to an angry man stomping around his backyard trying to kill every ant from an anthill. He has the capability to kill all of them but the strong ant poisons are banned by the homeowners association because they would kill all the other animals nearby. So he stomps around, and kills a lot of them, and gets bit once or twice. He finally quits when his wife convinces him it's not worth it because the ants aren't in the house.

How can they be when Americans are literally, objectively, and unquestionably the greatest people on Earth?
>>
>>85583372
Like who? A lot of them look down their noses at America, but really, who wouldn't?
Most British writers I've seen seem to consider the place a bit naff.
>>
That would be Japan
>>
>>85583881
Leftie Brits hate both America and themselves.
Right-wing Brits love both America and the UK.
Needless to say, the non-Murdochian media is utterly dominated by the former.
There is no middle ground.
>>
>>85583899
Japan just don't know and don't have interesse in the existence of others cultures. They are basically island catsways
>>
>>85584518
So just like America? But in America's case they already have everything all other cultures have to offer, their food.
>>
>>85584827
Not like america. America winned in history by making business with the exterior and was built by several waves of immigrants.

Japan sells to the exterior too. But if you ask the, about other countries, they can't even show ego, since they don't even know what Stereotypes to apply to each country.

See american characters in anime, most of then are just bland and have japanese names. Because they don't know what to write about it
>>
>>85585024
I would imagine that America is the one country the average Japanese person knows anything about because of how pervasive American media is. For example they probably know that we all wear sunglasses, eat hamburgers, and shoot guns.
>>

Maybe not that close, but still close

>>85583372
Nah, that's the Chinese.
>>
>>85585092
To be fair those traits are applied to more or less every American in foreign media, regardless of how familiar the country is with our actual culture

if they wanted to get it mostly right they could just make us all mexicans
>>
>>85583845
This...is actually really accurate

Sure thing cowpoke.
Not all of America is Texas.

Aren't Russians supposed to be the ones who swear every single sentence? I heard that it's gotten so bad that they've banned swears from television.

But still

The average stereotypes of Mexico are also the average stereotypes of 'Murica, unless they're going for one of those specifically white ones like valley girl or fat cat 1%er

Mexico is even more Christian than America. And Mexicans have just as many guns. They are just all in the hands of drug lords who smuggle them from America.

>>85583372

No. British 'we are better than you' complex doesn't exist outside of London. Instead we point out retardation and idiocy where it lies.
>>
>>85585816
fug, you're right.

I'm implying the only fights we've "lost" have been against insurgent forces who lack nuclear capability, yeah.

It was early nazi german. All the world was like "Yea, niggers are inferior", but few people was like "We need to kill them all NOW"

Because the average German wasn't evil. They knew the KKK were a bunch of assholes.

I think we all learned something today
>>
>>85586459
Yeah but they were becoming extremely nationalistic. Of course, some people remained sensible, but Hitler wouldn't have gotten so many followers if it weren't for the fact that Germans thought his speeches were rational.

The evolution from the Weimar's Republic to Nazi Germany is so interesting yet so disturbing at the same time. Cartoons usually have that one villain who used to be weak and hopeless and became what they are today, and it's usually something so unrealistic, and yet it seemingly happened to an entire country in real life.

No, they see you as a vapid, cultureless wasteland of comically insecure loud-mouthed braggarts.

But this isn't /int/, so I'll refrain from getting into a shitposting contest.

>>85586567
I feel like pointing out those cheering crowds at Hitler's speeches were people who were there BECAUSE they agreed with him.
>>
>>85586635
>comically insecure
Pot calling the kettle black, that is.
>>
>>85586694
So? That's my point. They AGREED with him. They SUPPORTED what he wanted to do. Granted, Hitler reached the irredeemable ideologies during the middle of the war, but what he preached before it wasn't pretty.
>>
>>85583372
Yeah I'd like to to think it doesnt matter where they're from its just their writing skill. Claremont grew up in the States and the UK and he was fine.
>>
>>85586755
No, I mean that was the minority. They didn't cheer because Hilter was convincing them. They intentionally packed the halls with the minority that agreed with him.

Hitler's rise to power wasn't exactly democratic.

the nazis hated their european neighbors a tad more than everyone else

telling them "but the KKK does exactly the same shit as you" would result in a "IT'S NOT THE SAME!" rant

Brits are a lot better at laughing at themselves than Americans. And really, Americans have much less to be do defensive about, given that they're the world's only superpower.
>>
>>85586283
I thought England gave them up because, well, who cares about sheep
>>
>>85586861
>Brits are a lot better at laughing at themselves than Americans
This is comical seeing as how my brother is wearing a 'MERICA t-shirt right now and how so much of American jingoism on the internet is tongue in cheek.
>>
>>85586374
Hitler actually liked blacks. The neo-nazi /pol/ brand of national socialism derives its loathing of non-whites (or, in /pol/'s case, non-white non-japanese, since they're all weebs) entirely from the KKK and other kentucky fried white supremacy movements.
>>
>>85587026
I'm not sure he "liked" them, the Nazis certainly viewed them as inferior, but there was never any plan to exterminate blacks like the Jews. The Jews they viewed as a threat, the blacks they just saw as lesser but still with their uses.
>>
>>85587101
>>85587026
Actually the original plan was the deport all the Jews. The Nazis were Zionists. They just wanted them out of Germany. France and England Declaring war on them put an end to those plans though, thus the concentration camps.
>>
>>85585894
I'm not even British and I do that.

>>85583372
Yeah, but it's kind of cute because you know they're irrelevant now.
>>
>>85587463
Infamously, quite a few local Jewish community leaders helped in the deportations even to the point when the 'deportations' stopped going to Israel, so to speak (The Nazis still portrayed them as deportations).
