Okay so, I, as a loyal colonial of the Empire, have gotten hard into the British Imperial nationalism as of late.
My question is this: does any vestige of this national pride still exist, in any meaningful form, in Britain? Or any other parts of the Empire of Commonwealth?
Despite what things I've looked at and experience I have, i really can't tell if it's still there or just the last few gasps before British Imperial pride follows the "Glory that was Rome" into the hereafter.

Britanniaboos are literally the worst.
average australians are nationalistic but not in the sense that they want to conquer neighbouring countries
half of people like the queen but only an extreme minority would have any love for the british empire
She's like the grannie Aussie's never had since Aussie's kill their elderly by the age of 60.
if you look into it, essentially there was some hangover in the 1950s where it still mattered a little bit (nothing like during the apex of the victorian and edwardian eras mind), but by the 60s it had well and truly become clear to the british public and national consciousness that the days of empire were over.
at any rate, britain, like the rest of the west, went through a period of terrible decline by cultural marxism from the 60s onward that has essentially made the empire a thing to be ignored or critiqued.
A good example of this shift is looking at the BBC series 'Civilisation' by Lord Clark which came out in 1969. It depicts positively the empire and western civilization and the English and Scots people. Almost in a supremacist tone.
Then you look at anything since then, like Paxman's 'Empire' and you will see plenty of guilt and doubt and political correctness.
I suppose so, we see ANZAC as special, different from the other countries we deal with.
There was a commotion a few months ago over some Aussies being sent back due to work rules (EU).
Is it that there is no love for britain or that people don't really think about it much?
>cultural marxism
That isn't a thing in the sense you are talking about
>mfw you're playing a WWII game and the British elite, special units are somehow ANZACS instead of SAS
same people desu, thats why we care
>Is it that there is no love for the mob that set up a penal colony here, used us as cannon fodder in a few wars and started a institutionalized fucking over of the locals which we have to deal with?
Plus Johnny Wilkinson kicking that field goal was trash and you should hate yourself more every day.
>ANZAC
>Not Canada
Fucked desu
What game has ANZACs as British special units?
> mfw his flag has my flag on it
>implying that most people didn't move there until after it stopped being a prison
You still have the flag in the corner so you must still care
Plus i don't like football
>Bongs cropped out the best bits of the Australian flag
Wew lads
Your flag has the Northern Irish flag on it, and I'd be willing to bet you don't give a shit about Northern Ireland
men of war assault squad 2
Men of War Assault Squad 2 has ANZACS and is a WW2 game..

Don't know if he's talking about that game in specific though.
Ye, pretty much. they're on special today too, bought the whole collection for $25
Canada too, although the whole quebec thing distances us slightly
brandenburgers are the best tho
Well its there, we should have all of ireland but its some consolation. Plus makes flag look butfeil.
In the commonwealth games of course.
>Red Guards are the best
FTFY
Halftracks with .50 for making mincemeat is better than Sd.Kfz. 251 with MG42.
>mfw your flag has 2 other countries flag on it
>mfw his flag has 3 other countries flags on it
but that flag is in your flag, so that makes your flag have those flags also
really makes u think
one of those flags is my flag so there are only 2 other flags which are not my flag for me whereas his flag has 3 flags which are not his flag.
Yes, because there's nothing Anglo at all about forcing millions of Frenchmen to live under the Monarchy.
lol, what a fag.
Rule Britannia.
It's such a shame that the empire is gone.
While extremely funny, due to being a democracy they are able to push for an anti-British agenda
Silent Storm. Also one of the best terrain destruction ever.
>Democracy
It's a constitutional Monarchy, and no matter how hard they push that will never change. The crown throws them a bone by alternating every 5 years between an Anglo and French governor general.
>st andrews cross

>Austrian flag
sheeeeit
Jesus you're cringeworthy.
>l-let us into your secret imperial clubhouse
This is what happens when a people lack any true cultural identity I suppose.
They just kiss ass to greater powers all day.
Sage.
Do you ever wonder what happened to the British South Africans? Do you think they see themselves as those dutch bastards now?
Fuck off buffer state
They still play a lot of cricket, so that's something.
I suppose, best we can hope for is secession of Natal.
>New Mecca.
DELET THIS NOW
Are you a lady-boy?
fuck the empire, Canada was on the wrong side of history in 1776. At least Canada was smart enough to actually get rid of that flag
Canada is only better than the US because it held close ties to Britain
We're better than Britain and we would've made the States much better too. We still can, technically.
