If a yank says this shit to most Brits the reaction they'll get is complete and total contempt. Americans are unpopular with everyone here, dare I say it they're more unpopular than the French, especially anyone that's pro-palestine.
Also within british culture there's a sort of "nobody criticises where I live except me" attitude. I've seen people who regularly say they hate the town they're from suddenly become stauch defenders of it when someone from the next town over dares to say anything bad. They can't inject that shit from americans it has to come through brits or the natural reaction to it most will have is defensive.
i think every brit would agree the country is shit
The closet we get to national pride is just being relieved we're not American.
Bold attitude to have for people who have invaded nearly every country in the world. I'll continue criticising them thanks.
As for yanks criticising brits, bite each other's dicks off
that's universal human trait, i'm afraid
Me, when talking to communists: Stalin made a lot of mistakes and we should avoid them in the future.
Me, when talking to liberals: the only mistake Stalin made was stopping at Berlin.
really? i constantly see shit unprompted from america thats all "USA NUMBER 1!!!!" "best country on earth 🇺🇸🏈" "philly best city 🙌🙌🙌" "#texan pride" "east coast represent!" and so on, its pretty much a universal stereotype of usamericans. you never see that sort of shit in the UK. is it maybe a generational usamerican thing or it's only in the media or something?
the only exception to this that i've seen is "can't have shit in detroit", which i'm lead to believe is mostly racism.
i meant reaction to criticism from perceived outsider, not overblown patriotism tbh.
