There was no such thing as Welsh or English longbowsmen before the 19th century

I wasn't defending you though was I? I didn't even read your post, and I'm not going to because you're a silly cunt who can't even find the right general and I couldn't care less what you think.
>>71291227
don't care
I feel like throwing this trash away now.
The entire body of academia on political ideologies just disproved that there was no concept of pride in England before the year 1648.
>>71291228
You sound upset, because you know you got btfo. You were presented with information that you didn't see in your 5 years waste of time at a low rate school.

mate seriously how do you not see you're wrong? in 1648 there was literally a civil war in england
read literally any book about the history of nationalism and it will start with the 17th century. i'm convinced you're a troll now, the american education system cannot be this terrible

Been growing a beard for months. Got about an inch length on it. Gonna shave as close to pic related as I can and play Empire: Total War (as the Brits of course) and also FSX Flight Simulator in a single engine prop aircraft like Biggles.

You're clearly reasonably well versed in history i just don't think you understand what nationalism actually means

The only good sticoms are Seinfeld, Malcom in the Middle and Married with Children.

Absolute Yank of a post.
>>71291481
You cannot deny that those at the least are good sitcoms.

Frasier>>>ELR>King of Queens
>>71291458
Let me ask you something. Just say yes or no.
Was William Shakespeare a nationalist?
>>71291497
>>71291497
grim
>>71291489
First two, didn't much care for Married with Children.
>>71291502
no (nationalism didn't exist until well after his death)
>>71291501
Did not care for Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens was more like King of Cringe.
>American sitcoms
not a fan 2bh
>>71291522
nice one, m8. might use that one over at /tv/ sometime, is that cool?
>>71291522
Yeah I've only seen a couple of King of Queens and this one's not doing it for me. Too much forced drama. Ray Romano's stand up is better than his sitcom but the show's alright. Gets the occasional genuine belly laugh out of me and a better than average amount of chuckling.
>>71291516
Okay.
Was Queen Elizabeth I a nationalist?
Keep in mind, this picture is literally entitled: "Elisabeth resting her hand on the globe to symbolize English superiority over the Spanish"
>>71291502
He is integral to British nationalism. His work is, but in his own time frame he was certainly not writing as a nationalist. Was Arminius a German nationalist?

There's a few good ones but you have to pick them out of a tidal wave of shit. Here are some opinions:
UNIRONICALLY FUNNY
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (seasons 1-9)
Frasier
The Simpsons (seasons 1-9)
South Park (seasons 1-9)
Seinfeld
King of the Hill
Silicon Valley
The Venture Brothers
WORTH HAVING ON YOUR TELLY IF YOUR LIFE IS CHEAP AND MEANINGLESS
New Girl

>>71291718

>>71291698
10/11 were bad I agree, maybe even 9.
Buy S12 (airing now) of Always Sunny is funny again.
>Southpark
>Reddit Valley
>>71291732
Worth a look-see imo.
martin luther was a non-binary pansexual
>>71291698
Frasier was never funny. It was the Big Bang Theory of the 90s
"Hello, Niles. Care to join me at me smashing Wagnerian Opera tonight?"
>*audience laughs*
"Sorry, Frasier. I'm taking Maris to the Royal Academy of Lipizzan Stallions!"
>audience laughs
>>71291728
the word wasnt invented until 26 years before his death so i HIGHLY doubt it
>>71291721
Yeah, looking back on my list Curb is funnier than Frasier for sure. Both belong in top list. I still think Venture Bros and King of the Hill are great, we'll have to agree to disagree there.
>>71291698
I don't get IASINP's praise, feels very reddit to me
silicon valley is shit don't kid yourself
curb is better than that
>>71291626
yes, even triple cheesburgers don't cut it
haven't watched TV for coming up on six years now
>>71291698
Rules of Engagement definitely needs to be dropped from that
New Girl's support characters are nice but Nick and whatever the name of Zooey's character is are pretty unlikeable

>>71291913
the only contestable one is Community
So, I'm watching Frasier, and I can't help but thinking how robust his body looks. Has anyone else noticed the robustness of Frasier's body? Obviously, his mind is robust -- he is Seattle's number 1 psychologist and has a palpable taste for red wines. His soothing baritone vocals add to his robust appearance. His hairiness adds to the robust appeal. Hairs are everywhere, arms and chests. I have only seen a hairy, robust body like that on a few professional wrestlers.
Anyone else notice this?

shite gimmick
capitalism crushes everything in its path that's why all ideologies that tried to stand against it have been destroyed (fascism, naziism, communism, etc)
and why those that are currently trying to stand against it (nationalism, islamism, etc) are being consumed by it
those ideologies that have tried to coexist with capitalism (i.e. christianity) get assimilated into it
capitalism is truly unstoppable

always like to compare I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched in my head, Bewitched always wins because that main guy had those crazy painkiller-addicted eyes and the witch was a qt in all aspects
the astronaut in I Dream of Jeannie was too nice (infuriating when they contrasted him with his sleazy friend) and his relationship to Jeannie felt too pervy with the way she called him master and the whole oriental thing/ thong outfit.

people don't read books to point out the prose style or narrative structures, you just interpret that stuff sub-consciously as a part of the experience (except for academic reasons)
same can be said about film, though I agree with you somewhat

mutts make me physically ill
Had about an hour or twos kip and heads banging. Glad I'm not a productive member of society anymore desu.
>TV watchers are not conscious, they are dribbling robot retards
>watch a moderately interesting vice video
>tonnes of dislikes and whinging comments
why are people so mad on every one of their videos? yeah they put out some absolute dross but it seems like that colours peoples opinions of the actual interesting stuff
>Men shouldn't reveal their pain or talk about their negative feelings
>can't resolve issues with people without talking about how their behaviour makes you feel sad
Which is it then?

Doesn't the Bible also say to stone homos to death?
>>71292394
yank was right, we're talking about sitcoms. There is definitely good tv which requires engagement to enjoy though. That said, I find reading a fucking massive bore, especially fiction, so I guess i'm just fighting my corner

sorry replied to the angry poster instead of the thoughtful one (bad form)
you are right, plenty of tv is just made to wash over you (friends, scrubs etc) but there's complex sitcoms as well
>>71292529
fucking hell some people ey?
where is this said "preston market"?
>>71292529
is the nanny state thing from your penal colony roots? like the upper classes protecting the oiks from themselves or whatever
>>71292432
i'm talking about how in books you have to visualize the characters and settings for yourself and that's just with pulp shite
if you get into real literature let's take 'the brothers karamozov' for example then it's a real intellectual endeavor just to make it through each page but most people don't read such heady literature so let's go middle of the road and take 'the 120 days of sodom' which is easy to read yet still presents very challenging ideas and is written to create a visceral reaction
vast vast majority of tv doesnt do that and certainly not sitcoms
>>71292529
we've got that shitty minimum price per unit alcohol over here desu
>>71292548
at least they have the compassion to have your cock and balls be buried
they couldve stopped right before that
>>71292623
I reckon the art in sitcoms is getting humour out of exploring something deeper - curb's palestinian chicken is a study of modern jewish identity in america for example
cannot fathom not reading a book a week
>>71292529
Wish they would increase the price of cigs over here more, fuck smokers.
>>71292548

it's most likely from our politicians copying yours post WWII when your government went full 1984
luckily the only thing it really affects in reality is guns but the rhetoric from these lefties is ridiculous nonetheless
how many hours do you devote to reading per day, point dexter?
>>71292636
>scotcucks
>>71292691
nah we just tax it to pay the rozzers and doctors that get used because of it's consumption
>>71292708
usually watch tv with the subtitles on so bout 6+ the time devoted to browsing the 'chon
>>71292708
Zero because I'm not a spotty virgin autisy.
>>71292706
>full 1984
weird to hear that desu, the post-war consensus is seen as like the high point for britain in the 20th century (ignoring our complete and utter emasculation at the hands of the egypto-yank alliance)
>>71292708
zero because that wastes valuable TV watching time and books are like sooo boring lmao
>>71292676
that's a great show and a particularly funny episode but even you have to admit calling it "a study of modern jewish identity in america" is hyperbole
>>71292469
not when she's got no time to think about poses or wear the right bra
>>71292691
tax, same with many things such as petrol
TV watchers are braindead little automatons
>>71292618
I think it's because australian state governments formed and federation occured around the modern era, and the political thought was dominated by muh utopia. It's why some of our political institutions and election systems are so progressive compared to the rest of the world, for example compulsory voting, preferential voting and an upper house elected proportional to the overall voted (adjusted for each state though).
political thought it still dominated by "what can we do to make things better", the only reason the UK didn't think like this around the same time was because everything government-related was so large and conflated, took too much effort and money to change
>>71292708
spend about 8hours per day mainly reading the fucking hansard, boring as fuck IR journals, biographies of politicians and sheeit. can't imagine wanting to read more for pleasure after all that
>>71292745
>britain in the 20th century
let's be honest, the entire 20th century was fucking awful for britain. The two wars weren't good for anyone, but you lads took the brunt of it.
ill read when im dead
theory: people who read a lot of fiction are insecure about their own intelligence because they dont read anything worthwhile
>>71292801
ermm the edwardian period was alright aha x
>>71292801
pretty sure france and germany took the brunt of it desu, and then we got marshall plan'd to shit
the 50's and 60s were a pretty great time for british people living in britain
I read probably 5-25 pages a morning, that's it
>>71292802
if you don't read you're already brain dead
>the 50s and 70s were a pretty great time for british people
Having your empire fall apart is great
>>71292823
i read the 3rd page every morning if you know what i'm saying
hubba hubba *eyes pop out of skull* awooga awooga aha
>>71292791
this is sort of true but we didn't get universal healthcare until like 30 years after the poms and about 15 years after the canadians.
>>71292840
he said 50s and 60s you FUCKING MONG
>>71292826

suicide yourself

>MUH EMPIRE
who gives a shit
>>71292840
note i said "living in britain"
the colonists must have had a shit time, whereas the quality of life in the UK was increasing massively, riding the boomer wave, massive boom for working class as reconstruction from the second world war employed millions, great social safety net for the poor. Most people don't really care about muh superpower status when their lives are getting demonstrably better
>>71292816
what were the consequences of the marshall plan in the UK? just morally cucked by the US or did you have to pay back a crippling debt?
Uh oh we've got the TV watchers attempting to think for the first time in a while
>>71292927
dunno
>>71292791
>british society dropped onto a blank slate with a chance to change all the shit stuff before it gets too ingrained to change
Australia was a success
>>71292911
GDP per capita in 1960:
US: 3k USD
Canada 2.2k USD
Australia 1.8k USD
UK: 1.3k USD
you had a gdp per capita less than half of that of the US and far below Australia and Canada's
>>71292927
we only finished paying it back like 10 years ago lol
need to consume less caffeine but chilled pepsi max is just so much nice to sip on than water
why is the US so afraid of universal healthcare
> During the first three decades of the 20th century, Argentina outgrew Canada and Australia in population, total income, and per capita income.[3] By 1913, Argentina was the world's 10th wealthiest nation per capita.[4]
REALLY makes me think
>>71292985
Do not tread on me thanks
>>71292945
different source says it was about $8k in 1960 in the uk, $11k in the USA, australia and canada were probably richer than us as well but it's not as extreme as you're making out
aruga aruga
>>71292998
won't do, would be a bit expensive for you!
>>71292985
wow if you think you have the right to health care, you are literally saying I am your slave
>>71292985
it's expensive af
yanks spend more public dollars per capita on healthcare at the moment but get less in return because healthcare over there is so fucking expensive. Before they do anything about making it universal they need to reduce costs massively. Obamacare just made it worse.
>>71292927
we got lent far more money than we really needed just because we are best ally, got more than west germany despite them being far more fucked than we were
but yeah we only paid it back a decade ago
>>71292944
yeah that's literally what happened
tbf early governments were able to micro-manage every little issue (for example in the past there was a worldwide drop in wool prices as synthetic fibres became more popular, as our will industry is dependant on exports the government bought a lot of that wool and it took years to sell it all off), it wasn't just about reforming fucked british institutions
>>71292990
we should have taken in more nazis

prices of medical care are so high thanks to letting it be free market for so long they'd literally have to go full nhs state ownership (public spending on private provision would mean significantly worse care)

>>71293082
what's amazing is how little france got in comparison, considering britain was never even invaded
still was worth it in the end though, spain got nothing for being fascist sympathisers and are pretty bad off, despite no real involvement in the war on their part. even portugal got gibsmedats from america lel
>>71293085
yeah true, i imagine the early years had the norway/denmark thing of there being so few people that the state could actually effectively deal with problems as they arose
