From Commonwealth to Global Britain/British Empire 2.0

Image
This Global Britain/Empire 2.0 fantasy is undesirable and self-defeating. This history makes the goal of rediscovering Britain’s role as “a great, global trading nation” not only a shameful approach to international trade post-Brexit but also counterproductive. Why would former colonies embrace a Britain that not only refuses to atone for its colonial sins but worse still, envisions its future as “Empire 2.0”? Soon a white man will be King of the Black and Brown Commonwealth. Bending the Knee to King Charles? I would rather death! During the Brexit movement the British declared their intentions of creating an Empire 2.0 with the former Commonwealth countries. This simply says the British intends to once again to organize their ex-colonial countries into serving and support British interest at the expense of their very own interest. Before the British can start this Commonwealth reorganization process, they must first put in place, at various management levels of the Commonwealth people...

Brexit! An Independence for Idiots

One would think the European Union had invaded the UK, slaughtered anyone who resisted their occupation and enslaved the rest of the population for the next 200 years. Extracting all their wealth then finally leaving them poor, living in ignorance and causing great human suffering. The way the UK is carrying on, one would never know that the UK joined the European Union by choice, after multiple years of trying to join that union.

The UK's applications to join the EEC in 1963 was vet...

On Movies and Superheroes With a JTID Geek

An Evening at the Oscars with a JTID Geek, this is my Bobby Ghisays moment: One “Yuuge” difference between watching an American movie versus a British/European movie is that 99% of the time in an American movie the hero will save the day. It is so predictable that it is not worth watching at times. We know any second now the hero will overcome whatever challenges he or she is facing and save the day and we know 99% of the time he/she will not only survive but ride off into the sunset. With British/European movies you never really know how they will end because chances are both the hero and the people he/she was trying to save will end up dead or the world get blown to bits and we all die. Somehow people in Europe and the UK are not too concern with saving the day because the reality is, we cannot win all the time. It got to the point where the British film industry was forced to create alternate happy American endings to some of their movies in order to satisfy the snowflake Amer...
