When someone says a country took an action, they mean the government or the powerful. When you say America commits war crimes it isn't implying that every US citizen has personally done a war crime
Every american is a war criminal
So, these are war criminals?
The homeless population is over represented by veterans so probably
That simply isn't true
Homeless veterans is a stereotype for a reason. Living on the streets is the mental health care system for most of america.

Still close enough for it to work as a bit in this conversation that has gotten too narrow focused.
Damn dude, really?
So pointing out the average Scottish peasant had no say in matters of government isn't worth pointing out
I mean it is when people bitch at scots for disliking and England and wanting independence, and then do the soy wojack face and say "but scotland participated in the empire too You have no right to complain".
Which people often do. Like it's some hidden knowledge that the upper classes of lowland scotland were balls deep in the british empire.
Again, if we're going by that logic wales shouldn't bitch either.
I don't know, I'm done with this thread though and you either agree with me or don't.
( Not you specifically my friend, just people reading this thread in general)
Fine by me.
I was just talking taking a cheap shot at Scotland for Darien Scheme lmao.
I mean yeah I get it. I'm just kind of biased and emotional. My ex was an expat from Scotland and super pro indy.
I'm still good friends with her
I'd wanna distance myself from england as well, but it shouldn't count as a hand wash
That should for Wales and Ireland as well.
They played their part. No complete hand washing for anybody involved in imperialist projects.
Obviously england was the ringleader (especially the southeast aristocracy) and scotland was a junior partner, but Wales and Ireland most definitely touched poo as well
