General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.
American became a colony because the people who lived there already were vastly technologically inferior to the Europeans who wanted it for themselves. It stopped being a colony when the descendants of the original colonists got sick of being ruled and taxed by a foreign king.
The change on regime was the result of a bloody revolution. Whether or not the regime change was ultimately benificial to the average American is not under debate. Power corrupts, and history is cyclical. The point I'm making, and the only point I'm making is that if you want to enact a regime change, a bloody revolution is a proven way of achieving it.
