As an American, does it annoy you if I say the US is just a bigger England?

Question

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Yes. Are you wanting to be annoying?

"Annoy you" sounds like Alex Karp doing the reverse cowgirl on a chair during a meeting dreaming about meeting his dom for the first time.

They're both run by criminals and israel puppets. Who cares how you group them. ㅤ

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Yes because i find most forms of ignorance annoying. The US and UK are very different in many ways. Also, “just bigger” is wildly dismissive of how much vast size and population changes the ways in which we self govern. There are plenty of UK policies that people think we can just copy and paste onto the US and enjoy identical success. It’s wholly untrue. The sheer cost of implementing and enforcing federal laws is exponentially progressive, not directly proportional.
The US and UK are similar enough that, for the most part, any random person from one can be transferred to the other with little or no specific education or training about the transition, and they will ultimately be fine. A bit of culture shock is about as bad as it might get.

There was a time the term "New England" was used.

T'was more like the New AND Improved England.

Then, the USA just surged so insurmountably ahead of England that it was insulting to the USA to be compared to England.

strateguy632 · Answer

Yes. Despite your good wording -warning a trigger i felt annoyed. Those brits just adore the "royal" family.

And princess di! And harry ex-prince? And have not yet scattered the "life appointed" house of 'lords' yuck!

And different society. And as a kingdom is old and weak. But king is the weak figurehead king of many countries.

Starlets and strippers.

I'm non-Americasnesian though.

Let them be annoyed - it won't improve their present state.

To say that they are a ''bigger England'' - actually is an insult towards the British :P

Levin · Answer

England is falling apart at the seams, but least we have our suburbs and our countryside. For now.

I don't even know how to describe the USA. It's a complicated beast. Beastly no doubt, with some good aspects.

choco-latte · Answer

Tbh the only thing we have in common is that we both speak English. The modern US has very diverse historical and cultural influences. The original 13 colonies were similar to England, not the US with 50 states of today.

abc3643 · Answer

No, because at that really does is tell me that the person who says that is either a troll or an idiot. Either way, I don't respect them... Think of it like being called a poopyhead by a 5-year old.

lightbulb27 · Answer

not at all, were as dumb as England, possibly dumber. Certainly fatter. It's an insult to English to say y'all are as fat and out of shape as we are.

browsingthroughthe · Answer

I sometimes wonder what Americans / North Americans think about their long long distant ancestors or "cousins" the English. After all - "once was colonies, once." 👀😋

Billlewis · Answer

In no way, shape or form is the U. S. anything like England. Why? Because we won't stand for the crap their liberal gov't is pulling over there. The Dems will still try, however.

A colorful past shrouded in controversy, an imperialist nation, questionable government, same flag minus some noticeable differences, empire on decline.

I will say they have Better Healthcare, but still ran by oligarchs.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Not really. It's kind of true. I say the same thing. But I say, "The UK is a smaller US". Their cities are older, and they have some different laws. Aside from that, they're more or less the same

DryGermanGuy · Answer

As an educated French person, you should know better! ☝️

darkcloud1945 · Answer

England and the USA are two different types of governments. No way is the USA anything like Merry Old England. England: cold food, warm beer, Usa BBQ, cold beer

Staximus · Answer

Not at all, it makes me laugh. The English for the most part are a bunch of subservients who likes their government micromanaging their lives. That’s why they stayed on that side of the Atlantic

NathanDavis · Answer

just Texas alone is bigger than England... and that's funny, lol

Dargil · Answer

We are more like the former British Empire. We have interests all over the world.

I won't dare to ask what you say about Australia.

Alex-Snow · Answer

AngryCarl3 · Answer

As an Englishman, I'd probably say England is a smaller America.

There's not much you can say about the US that would bother me. LOL

England is like a frail old woman, America is like her grown daughter who is a heavy-weight boxing champion.
