The racism, the class structure, the fake "democracy" while fighting real democracy tooth and nail, the imperial attitudes, the government voyeurism and fanaticism about controlling its citizens, like we were their property, you can trace it all right back to the British colonial governments.

It's true, we aren't a totalitarian state yet, but we are not a progressive democracy either, still working on that.
