Hence they quit and let you have Democracy.
Americans think it was a great victory over England that let them have America. This is nuts. First, it was Whig treachery, and second it was the French. (But I repeat myself.)
However, England could easily have re-staged in Canada and been all like, "Okay, fuck you guys." They didn't, because ultimately they didn't really want America. Was more trouble than it's worth. (Sound familiar?) Frankly, you did them a favour. They should have let it go voluntarily but you went and gave them a push.
Of course England then said it wanted full Democracy too. Having learned from the America situation, the aristocrats didn't fight it this time. "You want it? Lol, you're funny. Go right ahead."
The peasants are now bitterly complaining about the results of recent misrule.
Whose fault do you think that is, exactly?
Aristocrats: "Oh hey exactly what we said would happen. We are so shocked."
Other aristocrats: "Peasants are ignorant? Especially of history? Who knew. Who could have guessed."
Who wants to date the interval between the onset of full (alleged) peasant rule, and the world wars?
Great work everyone.
How are we supposed to know we were right if you don't go and empirically validate everything we've said?

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
