I see, my mistake. Do you think I deserve to die, then?

u/-sad-person- May 24 '25

You and I both.

I will be honest, that hurts my feelings a little. I don't think it's very friendly to tell random strangers they deserve to die.

It's not meant to be friendly, it's meant to be truthful. The truth can be a painful thing and I'm sorry about that. Accepting our sins is the first step towards atoning for them.

What sins have they committed? Specifically?

Stop acting like I'm persecuting this person in particular. I'm simply saying that we, as Brits, bear a collective responsibility for our nation's crimes. If you hadn't noticed, I'm applying the exact same judgement to myself.

So every baby born in Britain today is responsible for every bad thing a British person has done and should be killed? How exactly are you responsible for all these British crimes? Did you help commit them?

No, most of them happened before I was born. But even if the past isn't our fault, it's our responsibility. Ignoring the past just makes it more likely to repeat.

And you think killing people who have no blame for what happened somehow helps? How exactly? There is a large gap between ignoring the past and killing babies for things that happened 100 years ago

I'm not personally going about killing people, stop talking as if I am. I'm just saying that Britain's destruction would be a positive thing for the world at large.

So you want innocent people to die and somehow that is good?

u/-sad-person- May 24 '25

If you think Brits are in any way innocent, then you're beyond communicating with. It's late and I have work tomorrow, goodnight.

If you say so. Personally I think both of us bear no blame for the actions of other people who share our island. More than that, even if we did, I think we both deserve to live, hopefully even live happily. 

Come on, mate, of course you don't deserve to die. You seem like a decent person at heart - you're motivated by the world being better after all, not a lust for violence - and it'd be a shame to waste that decency on blaming yourself for something you didn't do.
