How did the English or British get so cucked?

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

I am reading The Know Your Bill of Rights Book and half of it explains how, especially the 2nd Amendment, the first 10 amendments were derived from common British law and custom. I was extremely surprised to learn that the 2nd Amendment was derived from older British custom of making sure all military aged men carried weaponry besides knives and it was regularly checked to verify they were bearing them.

I am retarded, but I thought this was an American idea, but clearly not, it came from Britain and then Britain cucked about this hard.

Slowly at first, then all at once.

Your misunderstanding the reason why Brits ENFORCED the carrying of weaponry. British men were required to carry weapons in case they needed to defend their nation against an invader or were drafted in an offensive war. They were not expected, and very discouraged, to ever fight their own government and was only ever a common law rather than something like an amendment to the constitution. Which is why gun control laws were far easier to push onto their people once a relative global peace set in and no immediate enemies were on their borders.

Men of the US were ALLOWED to carry weapons in case the government ever came after the people maliciously, which evolved to being able to carry for really any (sane) reason. It being an amendment and entirely optional makes it extremely difficult to ever get rid of this right. Say what you will about the founding fathers, but they were thinking light years ahead of everyone else.

The British were always under the yoke of one big government authority and simply followed along with whatever that authority wanted. The US was founded on principles of independence from a central authority that has slowly gotten stronger ever since the Civil war and desperately needs to be put back in its place.

Can't believe the people who worshipped their pedo royals for centuries now like globohomo elites authoritarianism, really came out of the blue

WW2 basically was a Pyrrhic victory for Britain in the long run also Thatcher and Blair fucked up the country with their retarded ideas

The US constitution is basically British classical liberalism taken to it's most extreme conclusion. In regards to us being cucked, you could still buy semi-automatics and hand guns in Britain up until the mid 90's. The Hungerford Massacre in the late 80's led to the government banning semi-autos, likewise the Dunblane school massacre and handguns. I envy Americans for being able to own guns, but if I'm being honest, I'd probably have shot myself by now if we still could.

But yeah, you're pretty much spot on with the overall perception of Britain today. I stopped giving a fuck about the outcome, I've detached myself from it and besides, it's not like the US is in better state right now. I miss the america I grew up with. I even get nostalgic watching old american films from the 50's, like I lived it myself. That era was pretty much the pinnacle of the human existence, regardless of time or location. Complete supremacy, a young population, with shit loads of land and resources to burn.

Britain went through a similar patch after the Napoleonic wars. There was a time when a man could go through his whole life in this country without having a single interaction with the state at all. As long as you paid your taxes, you'd be left the fuck be. Now you can't even drive down the road without some prick in a hi-vis giving you a ticket.

All the based men in Britain moved to the United States and other places. Either that, or they died in the world wars. What was left was a bunch of safety-over-freedom soyboy cucks, who demanded the government be their parent

Dunblane, it turned out that we aren't too keen on randos walking into schools and shooting our kids.

 

[Skitarii]

English were cucked ever since Guillaume invaded them

Welsh were cucked ever since England invaded them

Scots were cucked ever since Glasgow became a slave trading port and the citizens became addicted to opium

Cornish don't exist

Manx are older than Britain

It was the great war that did it. Villages and towns saw their entire working-age, male population wiped out, meaning that those villages and towns in turn were wither wiped out, or fundamentally changed by their new inhabitants. It was an existential level of destruction, one that shattered the spirit of the country. World War 2 was really more of a continuation of the theme; while the death rate was significantly lower, the existential threat of total war broke whatever morale was left. In the aftermath, we were more than willing to throw responsibility for our lives into the hands of the new state and its permanently-assumed war powers, in exchange for their promises of safety, security, and full bellies.
