  • Cucumbers aren’t native to England. They’re not even native to Europe.

    The English, get this, incorporated the exciting new vegetable into their diet after being introduced by Indians, and ignored whiny people telling the world “cucumbers aren’t English” until they died out and we’re forgotten by history. Imagine the 17th century version of yourself saying they’ll burn down any teahouse that sells the exotic Indian “cucumber” because it’s not English?

    You can’t expand your culture if you never try to expand it and “burn down” any change.

    Imagine the bellend in 1650 that went “oh tea? I don’t touch that Chinese stuff, never tried it and never will, and I’ll burn down any establishment that sells it”

    Yeah, actually, the rest of the world looks at your gestures broadly and think it’s very weird.

    Your weird ass constitution written by slave owners. Your weird ass worship of said constitution. Your weird ass electoral college. Your weird ass terms, term limits, arcane positions of power (what the fuck is a parliamentarian?). Your weird ass 3 year long election ramp up. Your weird ass first past the post system. Your weird ass permanent supreme court. Your weird ass corporations as people. Your weird ass 2 party system. Your weird ass election on a Tuesday. Your weird ass gerrymandering. Your weird ass 3 month transition period. Your weird ass hesitation to change any of these things even if a “progressive” holds power.
