A lot going on here in Tucker Carlson’s paean for the “humane” British Empire, but one through line with the rest of his thinking is that self-rule is more or less unimportant. pic.twitter.com/TeSqSJ0Ccm— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) September 9, 2022

Isn't that Tucker Carlson quote more than somewhat anti-American?
― Buckfast At Tiffany's (Tom D.), Friday, 9 September 2022 17:35 (one year ago) link
idk american anti-britishness always seems kind of perfunctory to me like this half-hearted historical reenactment that only bubbles up occasionally for entertainment or opportunism
I assume carlson defends the confederacy too and would happily trade the US for an even more violent explicitly racist white ethnostate

lol there's a ton of routine american internet anti-britishness, sections of this very website used to crackle with it
― mark s, Friday, 9 September 2022 18:08 (one year ago) link
I guess? Maybe I just don't frequent those parts of the internet where it is prevalent. At any rate, I do remember it being much more pronounced when Ireland served as a focal point.

Americans criticising the UK is only annoying when the criticism isn't accurate. We demand absolutely devastating criticism of this terrible country.

When Family Guy or w/e have an episode in the UK it's all "you guys are all plummy and effeminate and use funny words and have bad teeth and food!!!" and yeah, it would be just fantastic if those were the normal criticisms you could make about this cursed place.
