Petit bourgeios is what socialists call those wealthy workers who don't give a fck about socialism.

well they didn't mechanise the process of annihilating people as the Germans did.

Is this point modified if instead of "empire" we use a less sensational word, like "cultural sphere",or "place where American culture was/is fashionable"? In the 80s we had commies ruling the country, but plenty of people who were not bootlickers fancied US culture, and tried to emulate it at the time. US imperialism was hardly the reason for that. After 1989 this trend went on, without any imperial or colonial (or whatever scary word we want to use) pressure.

Today it is cringe to idolize US culture, but it remained with us as a result of their victory in the Cold War economically and culturally. Culture is path dependent.

To call this phenomenon colonisation is a stretch so wide that not even the most hardcore gay porn sites have seen the like.

I didn't mean to step on schizo theory territory (STT), I just wanted to establish empirically that the experience and stereotype where I live is still that British English is more sophisticated.

What you write here is really about what YOU think about the sense of the word "sophisticated" in this context, and you seem to say that this is only an apparent sophistication and really belongs to some decadent libtard academic detached (insert buzzwords here) elitism that originates from US elitism. But it is not a refutation of the fact that this is how the countries in blue see the two dialects.

I may agree with you in this, or may not. What I said was that the word around here is always that british english is more sophisticated. How much more? In what sense? What are the origins of it? I did not write about any of that.

Aren't rockets supposed to be launched from as close to the equator as possible? I'M not sure about the physics of it but I remember (possibly from KSP) that that is the easiest way to get into a stable orbit.

I'm a continental European and still think that British is the more civilised accent, despite American cultural effect. So I can't really confirm.

I think only young people today complain about breaking the unions. Anyone who remembers the winter of 1978/1979 was fed up with the unions who plunged the country into chaos because they wanted a pay raise.

The only reason Thatcher is thated is that everyone forgot about how bad the preceding Labour governments were.
