      @@jzthompson9598 You realize that the internet isn’t just America, right? This song was performed on a British program, sung and written by British women, centered on this year from a British perspective. How is bringing up The GOP in any way relevant? Are you saying you think American Republicans will have a significant influence on the English, Belgian or Brazilian grade school history curriculum in 2035? They couldn’t even stop themselves from losing a senate seat in ALABAMA, cause they nominated a pedophile. Just, for once, maybe it’s okay that a video’s comments isn’t just American politics? I just demonstrated I know stuff about an off-year special election in your country. I am not unaware of your shitty system, so don’t use this opportunity to explain the awfulness to me. I get it. But please: don’t drag us all down with you. Can you name a single fact about Danish politics? Probably “no”. Do I judge you for it? Also “no”. Can you please just let us have this delightful video and original comment in peace, and find somewhere more fitting and appropriate to unload your legitimate woes?

      For me it was during the London riots. Not the riots themselves, but the online response to it - the most popular facebook event for it in the US was "A prayer for England", which encouraged everyone to pray for all of the people caught in the riots. The most popular facebook event in the UK was "Operation: Cup of Tea", which designated a set time for us all to "calm down and put the kettle on".

On another point comparing someone to early 40s Germany without any sort of context shows that you don't really understand the concept of tolerance.
