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.

“No, it’s not about exceptionalism, here’s how it’s about exceptionalism.”
Brilliant.

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

No, it’s about UK politics. England is one country of several in the UK, hence why it seemed random to only mention it.
