That's the funniest thing about bongs. They accidentally half the world because they - by sheer chance - inhabited a highly strategic geopolitical position just when people learned to make ocean-crossing ships.

They look fondly at this past as though it were the product of bong excellence and not just sheer blind luck.

They don't even seem realize the world isn't composed of european nation-states surrounded by pre-industrial shitholes anymore.

They can't seem to grasp that they live in an era of superpowers, nations almost as large as entire continents filled with several times the population of britain, all speaking a common language and engaging in the most free market system in human history, are a thing, and that britain, as some largely irrelevant island has no hope in hell of having a fraction as much influence.
