gnu ~~ do you really not see that it is your national failure to 'give a shit who don't like it FOR ANY FUCKING REASON' ~~ about what anyone else in the world thinks about anything whatever which doesn't suit your own [in your eyes] god-given purposes ~~ that makes you a hissing and a byword and an object of hatred and contempt to so many right-thinking people everywhere; when you ought by rights, given just a little less of that self-centred national megalomania of yours, to be the most loved and respected nation in the history of the world.

This I mean literally, not poetically or hyperbolically.

Is it really worth it, just to have your own way in any conceivable circumstances?
