randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate must be ironically funny sometimes(see: jokes about 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.
edit: i should add though, usually this type of humor is meant to be ironic by most of its participants. the more i think about it, the more it seems this is more rude than funny.
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…
Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
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.
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?
