randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate on is funny sometimes (see: the fr🤮nch)
Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism.
Hey now, we’ve got some nice bits - they’re all the bits with no people in
I genuinely don’t get why hating the UK has become so popular recently. Like, sure we have our problems, but it’s not that bad…

Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while…
…then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers’ rights…
…Then we stopped joking so much…
…and now they’re not doing so hot again.
I think there’s a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue in order to spur them to greatness once more, even if only out of spite?
Is it recently, though? As far as I can remember, specifically England has been the US of Europe. Or you mean the UK as a whole?
Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
And I think it was Blair before that. XD
And the US is on track to beat that record.
I think we already did reputation wise. Economically, give it a bit longer cause I think we’re playing great depression 2: techie boogaloo.
