When they talk about the 13 Colonies in the US being British do you think they waved a magic wand, said abracadabra and turned into Americans. Why do you think the US speaks English (or something that passes for it lol).

No. That happened in 1776 when we told them to fuck off and then forced them to fuck off. Which happened of course at the hands of a self armed citizenry.

You mean in 1776 when they signed a piece of paper and created a fiction that they were something else.

Can you sign a piece of paper that says a man becomes a woman. Does it make it true?

I could sign a piece of paper that says I'm a Martian. Is that true?

Can a chicken in a stable call itself a horse?

You should sign all of those papers

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard you say.

You seem to be the only one here who is identifying only via their DNA.

Nationalities and identifying by country, region, tribe, clan, etc. is not fiction.

It is when it's colonies to some degree. For example, some Canadians were still flying a pure Union Jack right up until 1966 or something. When you look at a map why do you think there are maps called "political maps" which show borders. The identification is political. There is political and then there is racial and cultural. Germany still has blood citizenship rules (look it up) and yes I know they've had to relax them for refugees etc that have flooded in.

We ceased being colonies in 1776. So yeah, just kill some limeys, sign a piece of paper and just like that we were no longer British. That isn't fiction. Unless you think " Once a British colony, always a British colony." Which would take the number one spot from the previously dumbest thing I ever heard you say.

OK - go become a woman then and sign a piece of paper.
 
It is - it's about identification isn't it. You think signing a piece of paper changes your identity and who you are.
It can damn sure change your nationality. Unless you think people in Guana are French. And when you're talking about 250 years on, where no one alive who was born here was ever anything but American, it is retarded to suggest they are British.

Well it's retarded to say I'm Australian when the whole place isn't Australian anymore. I've had to resort to other means of identification.

Trump’s claim that Europe is ‘losing its culture’ is racism – and it must be challenged (theconversation.com)

Trump has said much the same - you love him - listen to him then.

As a result of immigration and the changes to Australian society I've had to ask myself "who am I" and the answer is not what Australia is - I am what Australia was. That is a British Australian. The irony is that Britain is no longer Britain either.

What do I have left other than to say "culturally and ethnically I'm British" even if I was born in Australia.

I never said it wasn't. You are absolutely free to do whatever you want ( as long as your rulers allow it).

There you go again putting words in my mouth. I don't love Trump and I never once intimated I did.

I'm just a bit tired of people here making out I'm some sort of lefty - I'm far from it. You may not have said that you are Trump supporter per se - I'll admit that.

I don't think you're a lefty. You appear somewhat left of me, but you not being American has to be taken into account. I suspect if you were here you would end up being a lot more like some of us you argue with in here all the time. And I all but guarantee you wouldn't be anti-gun. Give me a day and I'll turn you into a range rat for sure.

I wouldn't be anti gun if I had to contend with thugs with guns - but here we don't have to therefore why would I advocate that we go down your route which is like an arms race? If you don't have to have an arms race why have one? I'm not stupid though - I'm not going to take a knife to a gunfight.

Most of my thing with guns has little to do with thugs these says. I no longer work in the city. They're fun. Training and competing against Combat proven crayon eaters is a lot of fun and very humbling.
