  They are saying that ascribing what’s been happening in politics for thousands of years to a country that has existed for all of 20 seconds is exceptionalist.

    I’m obviously talking recently. We get it, England is old as fuck.

      Compared with the US, a lot more countries than just England are old as fuck, bit of a random one to bring up. But regardless, as the other commenter said: it’s still exceptionalism.

        And no, it’s not exceptionalism. The US has dominated headlines about being a political shit storm not seen in ages since 2015/2016. I am not American and get equal US/UK news in all my media.

        If you guys want the claim being the most fucked up go right ahead and claim it baby. I seriously don’t care, but don’t assign meaning to my words.

        Not random at all. Did you forget what this was about?
