A lot of US anger towards UK stems from the shear pride of being American in an era of decline.
The UK is weird and getting weirder right? Thats not my imagination? I know that's rich coming from an American, but still, I'm right on this arent I?

Eons after our echoing voices fade, the immortal laughter of the gnomes and fairies will continue to summon the rain to water the mosses and ferns.

Poetic Delivery Service, one from 2017
![Cartoon by me who is Stephen Collins for the Guardian from 2017, back when I was drawing things in ink and not on an iPad so the illustrations look a bit different and more cartoony somehow. Anyway, here’s the script:
CUSTOMER SERVICES PERSON [SITTING IN CALL CENTRE]:
Hello, Poetic Delivery Service
CUSTOMER [SITTING ON A SOFA, AT HOME IN LIVING ROOM, ON PHONE]:
Hi yes I’m waiting for a parcel to arrive, and the delivery window you’ve given me is …
“After morning’s innocence has faded, ere darkness marries the night...”
CUST. SERVICES:
Yes.
CUSTOMER:
It’s a bit vague, isn’t it? I’ve been waiting in all day and my delivery still hasn’t arrived.
CUST. SERVICES:
Well, we are a Poetic Delivery Service, sir. We don’t like to be too on-the-nose….
CUSTOMER:
Can’t you give me something more specific?
CUST. SERVICES:
OK I’ll just ask the driver for you.
[Pause]
CUST. SERVICES:
Hi I just called the driver and he says the delivery window just kind of means what you want it to mean.
CUSTOMER:
What
CUST. SERVICES:
He said he doesn’t want to talk about the meaning of a delivery window too much, in case it kills it for the recipient?
CUSTOMER:
Look - this is really inconvenient for me. I can’t wait in all day for this
CUST. SERVICES:
Would you like to reschedule?
CUSTOMER:
Yes
CUST. SERVICES:
OK… how about “In the moment ‘twixt thought and speech, where dwells the ineffable quiescence of being"?
CUSTOMER:
That’s not better.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreibcp5gey7zsob5x4pkyf25xpmpiexzwdtafkyq6sdkbnpwckv3tpq@jpeg)

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration
