Like I can't stress my hate for the British empire.

The colonial mindset and generally the domination desire too obviously. (Yes you're on an anarchist instance what did you expect)

But the British empire has a special hate from me.

Here's some fuel for your hatred:

"The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people."

Goes around, comes around, eh? Meanwhile he's an immigrant of Monaco for tax purposes...

Only if you believe his bigoted nonsense otherwise there's nothing to "come around".
