    UK conquered effectively the entire world. They are literally the source for global capitalism as it exists. If your hangup is “well, UK didn’t really start capitalism” then your on a semantic that makes any further argument with you disingenuous, either due to you willfully manipulating the conversation or ignorantly being unable to comprehend what is being said. Either way really.

      This isn’t semantics, it’s facts. Strong words coming from you, calling me disingenuous, when what you’re doing is defending a grossly oversimplified, inaccurate, and mostly dumb meme.

      Open up a history book. Might do you some good.
