Hey Brits if you're awake, how do I keep a stiff upper lip?

Hey Brits if you're awake, how do I keep a stiff upper lip?

I've always admire traditional british manliness in the face of adversity.

Empire or not or not, the general sensibility that carries men across the world by sea
Is one I admire.

No one of our generation would be able to tell you because we don't have half the guts our forefathers did.

Speak for yourself mate

Its called being stubborn even when you are in the wrong just stick to your guns and carry on like you are right.

...

Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Read some Rudyard Kipling or GK Chesterton my man

Foster complete emotional unreactivity at all times, never show your hand. If you ever feel anything at all, repress it so deep that you forgot you ever felt it. From my experience of Americans, this is very hard for them to do because they typically wear their hearts on their sleeve and it's therefore very easy to know exactly what they feel. A proper Englishman should be far more difficult to read, helps us if we ever want to do something perfidious.

Im not sure, there is the whole british orderliness and cold pragmatism which is second to none.

I understand being right but i keeping your lip stiff even when you're wrong the same thing?

this

>traditional british manliness
"Cottaging" is known as "cruising" in the US. You should try it, it's easy.

This desu, very well put

Your feelings are wholly determined by yourself.

>perfidious

fuck I speak pleb english

teach me, headmaster

Aericans were taught b isney and woomen teachers to share our motions and write journals for women to judge and shaame you for later.

It wasn't until I realized we were ruled by the british empire still through the city of london where I had to understand the type of msnliness that doesn't just get you laid, but keeps you in control, even when others think they are.

Identical to Greek stoicism but without the suicide.

When I visited the US some amerifats called me cold hearted and I don't know wtf they were talking about. You guys are just super emotional

My family has the stiff lip The secret is to think about a slightly idealistic (from another man's perspective) future, one where the hardships of the near future are gone.

Just as important, keep in mind that pain makes you strong and every time you work hard you get stronger.

OP is not a massive faggot. I also am an admirer of the stoic nature of Brits and the expertise of their seafarers.

why does someone always have to make men appreciating his fellow men a homosexual thing.

Don't worry if you've not heard that word old chap, it's a bit of a meme word that no one uses in real life, you just need to lurk moar.

That said, another good English trait is an impressive vocabulary, so nothing wrong with actively trying to increase your range. One caveat here though - don't just use long words for the sake of it, without knowing what they mean - we have a shit """comedian"""" turned politican called Russell Brand who's notorious for doing this.

Huh...This really chimes with me

Be as stoic as you can

Also, don't react very strongly to everything. This makes you perpetually calm. You think straight in situations that would make others shout and blame others.

Oh and we can always tell grills in the USA that we are "the drummer from the Arctic Monkeys" and it works every time lmao

Whether it be women or guns in your face, all they get is this...

>casually admits to being an island of lying thieves
There's a reason why you're univerally despised. I hope Germany fucks you up again.

Calm down Pedro

Nope, you really don't understand it user.
It's about having the conviction in your beliefs that you will prevail, because you are right and just .
When confronted by unassailable odds, you must not, break into panic or to self doubt. You must for the sake of this beautiful island, be utterly unbroken and resolute.

It's more about being a moody bastard than stoic and this country gives you a lot to be a moody bastard about

I think a large amount of the cold pragmatism you reference relates to persisting when society might wish to characterise something you're doing as wrong. For example, firebombing Germany in the second world war. Was it 'right'? Certainly not in a modern touchy-feelie context, but did it fuck some shit up, most certainly.

It's not really a secret that we were very successful colonisers and used lots of nefarious tactics to achieve our aims. It's also not a secret that throughout history different peoples have always warred with each other and tried to assert dominance, we were just better at it than most. The imperial period shouldn't be judged by today's standards, it was what it was.

My stiff upper lip is almost at the point of collapse. This country is almost lost and it depresses me.

>Stiff upper lip

Eat my dick Airstrip One. All you have left is a hollow money laundering operation and memories of grandeur.

Very good summary.

>Casually highlights his inability to read

>british manliness
what the fuck are you even talking about

there is nothing to admire about the united cuckdom, look at your own national heroes instead

The silence is deafening...

>eat my dick
Dr Shekrlberg already got there first

Stop being a whiny baby

Like the US will be any better after you spics mongrelize it

you're basically jews

united cuckdom is the worst country in europe

Yes, listen to the Viking roleplayer on good role models

>is a Swede

Damn it feels good to be at the forefront of the uncuckening.
So how is the European exit going for you guys anyway?

:^)

US is within Protestant Anglosphere.

England and US share a super tight historic relationship.

Our heroes in america were just workers for the Crown.

This

i don't think you can adopt it. you have to be born into it, molded by it.

americans seem to have a very different take on ego, and in turn, shame. you're always talking up your "alphaness" when it comes to masculinity, an ape-like, chest-beating, animistic display of how much a manly man you are. it would be utterly shameful for a brit to do this, and would come across more as closeted homosexuality, that you had to try so hard to convince everyone around you that its true. also the leering and disrespectful approach towards woman, your delight in sharing sexual conquest. again, this would be seen as trying too hard.

british manliness is traditionally more tied to gentlemanliness i suppose. you shouldn't have to prattle on and on about the cloudy heights you measure your own mettle like a school child, it should speak for itself when it matters.

this seems to come up with "banter" as well. americans can't seem to do it without simply resorting to mean-spirited attacks. a key component of banter is knowing when you are the butt of a good natured joke, and to relish in it rather than kick out against it. its not constant one-upmanship, rather its knowing when to say "he's got me there lads".

You become hardened to adversity when you actually experience it and overcome it, it's a practiced skill like anything else.

People too sheltered these days, I'm only 33 but i can see the generational shift between my fathers and the kids today. The teens today are horrible weaselly little fucks, they're so sheltered and protected, but also incredibly entitled. It's why the Bernie Sanders kind of politics is becoming more popular.

Kids should be working from a young age, not be spoiled by their parents, learn the value of money early on and pay your own way, be taught instead how to interact in the free market. The fact that half of britain collectively shit the bed about leaving the EU shows they know nothing about how to create value, how to sell themselves or be independent. But y'know, we're turning this ship around. slowly but surely.

Inject local anaesthetic

a little truth

maximum tipping

>Those digits

Holy shit first post best post

In addition, I would say that the thing about banter is also being able to throw one back. I used to not be able to take banter because I wasn't very good at dishing it out. As I got older though I became more witty and I now navigate those kind of conversations much more easily.

With regards to your question OP, I would say that part of it comes from the tradition of not showing emotions easily but also the feeling of thinking you are better than others, though I would say this applies mostly when dealing with foreigners. When you come from a nation that has had fights with pretty much every other country on the planet and controlled the largest empire in history, the ego does get a bit inflated, and rightly so. Doesn't matter whether your'e right or wrong, your'e British and they aren't. Both wars have also helped to cultivate the idea of "the plucky brit", i.e. it doesn't matter how the great the odds are, we do so because we must.

Stiff upper lip is just code word for being a unsympathetic twat and letting pakis rape your women

Stiff upper lip is generally stoicism and keeping strong opinion to yourself. Allowing yourself to see the situation in a bigger picture.

E.g. uk is and always has been a migrant nation. The key is to make the bastards integrate. To which they are but not at a fast enough rate. We still have gen 1 migrants doing stupid shit that we need to be harsher on.
The first trick is to cut out the concept of pc by cutting out the need of it in the first place.
That the guilty are criminals first and should be judged as first before anything else.

i can't deny that. i have to work myself into pompousness or i would never say anything nice about brits.

It's like I completely agree with this, and I feel like I already knew it, but I had never addressed it like this.
Can you imagine being from some shit-tier country? I can't. This is all I know!

>because you are right and just
>Britain
>WWII
>right and just
Oh, user.

Fucking hell. How many normies are on this board now? Listen, you daft twat, it's not about "integration". Niggers have lived in America for centuries, how have they integrated? They haven't. They're still barbaric people and "education" or culture has nothing to do with it.

The point about the bants is well made, in the UK common usage and even in parliament discussions, people bants back and forth. Everyone has strong opinions and you need to be able to express that and stand your ground while also not pissing off your opponent so much they don't come back and re-engage.

Us Brits have a long history of this, adopting cooperative policy in places where it benefits us but then also standing up for our own principles. Then you see someone like Farage goto the EU parliament and they all get buttblasted by bants that even a 5 year old British child could handle.

I wish I knew when i was younger, but there is some god tier bants that goes on in the house of commons, I try and watch the Q&A as often as possible now.

Honestly it's not manliness, it's just emotional repression, which also means not standing up for yourself.

E.G. in the UK you could walk down the street spitting in other mens faces and 9 out of 10 wont do shit about it, they wont even yell at you, they'll just keep their eyes own and pretend it didn't happen, because making a fuss, good or bad, is not seen as acceptable.

That's how we end up with an environment where everyone is a nonce since no one wants to cause le fuss when they realize someone's touching kids.

Because we're pretty miserable anyway so when things do get miserable not much has changed and we carry on. We're pretty stubborn and tribalistic. Can be seen in our sports fans often.

I talk like romeo n'sheeit when I meet bitches

No it hasn't always been an immigrant nation you liar.

A few thousand new immigrants every century is not the same as half a million immigrants in a year we have now.

the guys thats stubbornly hold their own shit and don't care when it goes against their own party's politics are the best.

>Nothing will happen if you spit in another man's face 9 out of 10 times
Horseshit. I implore you to try that out for yourself.

Hmm

>E.G. in the UK you could walk down the street spitting in other mens faces and 9 out of 10 wont do shit about it
I've never heard such complete and utter bullshit in all my life.

I've been dealing with Jews lately and they are so dramatic, like teenage girls freaking out and complaining about everything. The sky is always falling. Everything is the end of the world to these pussies. Also, they love to gossip and talk shit and disclose people's personal information that they were promised they'd keep confidential. Jews love talking about other people's misfortunes. That's why you must never tell a Jew anything personal, they will use it against you, guaranteed.

I'm not an Englishman but I have English heritage, I am a western man from a harsh western state. We don't talk much either, talk is cheap my grandfather always said. save your breath for breathing, tough it out no matter what, and don't complain b/c things can and usually do get worse.

Commonality & Solidarity in the white man transcends it would seem.

God Bless the Motherland!

>UK is a migrant nation
>they should integrate
what kind of cucker is this?
are you some king of jew or arab?

>He thinks it's because the nigs are black and not because they were from pisspoor hellholes that could not advance because livestock and conditions are utter shit.
For america, problem lies in poorfag ghetto culture that blacks need to fix themselves. For us, its mudslimes segregating and enclosing themselves in thier own fundamentalist fullretard bubble.

Calm down frenchfag, I dont mean at the rate we have now, of fucking course not. I just mean there is no sense from jumping in one extreme to the other.

This is Introversion. Chronic Autism. Cheers.

Don't care. Britain and its culture is a joke today. Stop trying to copy it.

The concept of "stiff upper lip" is not about putting up with shit or taking abuse, it is about being level-headed and civilised, using logic rather than emotion.
tl;dr = Don't act like a nigger and you will pull it off.
