It's frankly sickening that some people heap scorn upon the Britain of their ancestors, especially considering they're the only ones that actually you know, abolished slavery and had the seeds of thought in its WEIRD Protestantism that evolved into the strain of progressivism that you masochistic westerners hold dear.

Unless you can explain Frank feodalism, Chinese legalism or frankly, any system before colonialism and cheptel slavery, and explain how cheptel slavery was somehow better, I will take your comment with a chunk of salt.

		Do you mean chattel slavery? "Cheptel" is a word I'm not familiar with and apparently refers to livestock. "Cheptel slavery" doesn't appear in any search results. Happy to engage, just need to understand :-)
