Is there something exceptional about english-speaking white people that makes them such effective bootlickers?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

no, it's the French that are the exception, we German-speaking white people aren't very different from English-speaking ones either

If I was to defend any argument, it would be that Romance peoples (French, Spanith, Portuguese, etc.) are more likely to protest than Germanic people (English, German, Scandinavian)

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, yes, I forgot for some reason that Germans are one of the all-time masters at boot licking.

A quick glance at uprisings and riots in British history might surprise you. I frequently-ish pass two buildings in Wales where the British Army shot and killed British people.

You have to subjugate your own people before you can subjugate foreign people.

Populations filled with bootlickers come in all shapes and sizes, though.
