So I figured I would look into Liz Truss. Seems with the new king and with the new PM the UK is in for "interesting times".

King Charles seems to be rather progressively minded about several issues but Liz Truss and co might as well be called the "Make Britain an empire again" party. Their writings like Britannia Unchained seems like a very unambiguous manifesto for restoring Britain to it's former glory but under the Tories instead of the crown and swapping traditional colonial economy for very American style right wing economic theory.

Yikes.

Dramatised overstatement designed to win favour with those who are not educated in history.

@MarkPaul And bullshit from the peanut gallery again.

It is okay. We know you love empire and colonialism and fetishize the British Empire.

And you calling anyone uneducated is hilarious.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I have academic standing.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul More lies from you. You have no such thing and clearly zero knowledge of the subject.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I am a history buff and have interviewed a good many people who lived through material parts of historic times.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul And another lie. You have proven conclusively you are no such thing.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I have an innate understanding of how nations and their people navigated through the times. I guess you could say, I have that kind of intuition. It really shouldn't intimidate you. Not everyone has that level of insight with the capability to articulate it. I suppose I could be more understanding when those insights go right over your head.

@MarkPaul And more lies.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I'm just being honest about it.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul No, you are making pronouncements based on nothing, zero knowledge or evidence and pretending to be an expert like always.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well hold on there. I didn't claim to be an expert, exactly.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Actually, you claim to be an expert on everything you comment on and do so on a weekly basis. And you usually have no clue what you are talking about.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That was a long time ago.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Lol. 5 minutes ago was a long time ago? Are you a goldfish?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You don't understand.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul I understand just fine.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I just think the main point of my position is over your head. I suppose it's not really your fault. You just don't have the general background, life experience, and academic training to understand what I am talking about.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul And back to being an arrogant prick. Pretending your complete lack of knowledge and understanding of the situation is some Trumpian 4D chess.

You really are a fool. Back to repeating the same lies you were claiming you were not making 2 minutes ago. You are a joke.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm not accustomed this back-and-forth exchange where you only seem to favour childish insults that aren't even really very good. In the academic world, you would be banned from the classroom and even I would be reluctant to stand up in your defence.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul You know nothing of the academic world. Quit lying and pretending. THAT is childish.

Calling you out on it is called integrity.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm at uni and you claim I know nothing about academics. Now, that's arrogant. It's also moving the goal post.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul You don't. That is the truth.

Even if that is true. Driving a car doesn't make you a mechanic.

And proving you don't know what that expression means again. You just make random statements hoping it makes you look impressive to the clueless here.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I know quite a bit about a car's mechanics. I'm mostly self-taught because I have intellectual curiosity and I like to examine things.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul And as usual the entire point sailed over your head.

And making more bullshit claims ago.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@MarkPaul Liar Liar Pants On Fire I Call Bullshit 😷

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@JohnOinger Just for the math to work MarkPaul would have entered university at under the age of 10 to have all the credentials he has given himself on this site.
