I wish there was a way to effectively gauge and compare the feelings of Australians vs the feelings of Americans towards Britain.
One inhabited by the descendants of those who were unwillingly torn from their homeland, the other by those who deliberately fought to separate.

i’m not exactly a median american but i have approximately no feelings about britain. studied abroad at cambridge for a year and it was nice, that’s about it

this is incredibly interesting to me. I suppose my first step should really be to see what other Australians think of Britain (mostly they seem to laugh at it) but I'm always shocked when Americans express indifference towards Britain.

I think perhaps Australians laugh at Britain in a similar way that a child laughs about his parents when they do something that seems embarrassing to a child
