Yes, I don't hate my home country out of guilt for slavery or historical atrocities committed against Negros. That would just be silly because no White person alive today had a part in any of that. Besides, Britain was the first country to abolish slavery in 1807. The country also took in many Blacks from its former colonies in the Caribbean since the 70s. People here shouldn't feel guilty about anything.WanderingProtagonist wrote: ↑May 16th, 2023, 7:56 pmAfter reading all of this, I honestly can't really fault you for hating your own, I just don't see you in the same light as the white guilt white people who hate themselves because they feel responsible for all the negro bullshit and slavery. Those whites I honestly hate to death and wish they would just kill themselves already. I mean trying to flood your own nation full of blacks like a f***ing idiot isn't going to make your country better, if anything they'll make the place WORSE. I strongly hate blacks, but not my family members.
I don't even wish for anything bad to happen to the UK. I want every country to prosper and for life to be better for people everywhere. I don't harbor any real hatred towards British people. I simply recognize that the place isn't for me, that it doesn't suit my personality, that I don't feel compatible with its culture, and that I'm better off elsewhere, mostly in the Mediterranean world or Latin America. The UK might be perfectly okay for certain personality types but it doesn't mesh well with me on a personal level. I don't want the UK to be destroyed or lose its culture; I'd just rather have been born elsewhere in a country more suited to my tastes and needs and would prefer to move overseas again as soon as I have the opportunity.
I'm more angry with destiny for determining my birth into a culture that really doesn't suit me than with the country itself. The people here are simply products of the culture which they were born into. It would make no sense to hate them.
I don't know whether this is strictly a Latin American thing. I've met people of other ethnicities who are simply unable to fathom how somebody could ever hate their own country or culture and I've conversely encountered Latin Americans who understand my dislike for the Anglo world and even share it. Not all Mexicans and other Latinos regard the US as a bastion of light for the whole world to imitate. Some really distrust the US and consider it a bad influence and a threat to traditional Latin American culture. Others think that "gringos" are just plain weird. Lol!WanderingProtagonist wrote: ↑May 16th, 2023, 7:56 pmThe thing is Latin Americans are just overly prideful people so of course your ex would not understand why you don't like British people or your country.
Even my ex-girlfriend initially held a negative view of the Anglo world. She told me that she regarded the British as warmongering savages and weirdos and that she had never imagined dating an "inglés". I was, according to her, simply different to the rest, much nicer and more "normal" than any of the British people who she had previously crossed paths with. And that's true - I'm nothing like a typical British person and have a much more Mediterranean disposition, especially when I'm speaking Spanish. However, my ex-girlfriend got to know me more and met my family, she developed an interest in the UK and started trying to get me to like its culture despite knowing that I hated it. At one point she even got it into her head that she wanted us to live in the UK for a year or two before we moved to Latin America because she wanted to get to know the place. She was disappointed when I told her that I didn't ever want to move back there and that was when I began to doubt my relationship with her for the first time. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my HA dream for what a girlfriend wanted.
Now I don't see myself ever having a serious relationship with anybody else, not even with a Latina. I don't feel comfortable with my own nationality, don't want to be some girl's "English boyfriend", don't want to share "British culture" with anybody, and am not willing to compromise my own principles. Instead I'll walk a lonely path, limit my interactions with women to brief sexual encounters and have a few baby mamas in Colombia. Even if one day I do desire a real relationship, I doubt that I'll be capable of maintaining one. I'm just too phobic of my own birth culture and somewhat dysfunctional as a result.
