I think that you overextimate the american exceptionalism. In the xx century the europe was destroyed in the ww leaving the usa as the only state not touched by the wars. The rest of the world was lagging techlogicaly. Now the situation is different. Usa is a young country and it is not different from any other.
Plantations were far older than paisley and the troubles. The timeline of historical events is numbered in centuries or millenia. Jewish diaspora started 2000 years ago, mediterranean division between religions 1400 years ago. The changes due to mass migration in europe will continue for centuries, changing the shape and the ideology of the nations for a very long time. Some nations will be born, some other will die.
The one of the reasons of the irish hate against the english were the plantations of ulster. Not a single speech. I suppose that you know a little bit of ulster history.

I don’t think that uk political class too ( as other european countries ) know much about Uk. I have direct experience about “communities” in other european countries, but when the problems erupt, the ruling class flee. I don’t think about a civil war, the situation is more complex than it happears and i think that is very difficult that labour starting seriously to wage war to their voter base. Musk is part of the capitalist globalist elite that is causing all this mess ( like tories ).
Any media spread hate against other groups/spread lies. Or you have even read any newspaper in the past 100 years. I read reddit and i read the worst things about adversarial groups any day. Sometime even war crimes apologies, a post was so terrible that could be used as a war crimes proff ( a drone targeting and killing a medical unit doing their work during wartime ). But it is very rare that this kind of speech cause some riots. Ex: never heard of democrats targeting republicans with riots in USA. The strange thing is that russians tell that usa and uk are using the social to promote colored revolutions ( and is x is between them ). So X is an instrument of CIA / MI5 or a russian asset? When the troubles erupted were more simple time.
The troubles were in a period without any social…
Not from uk, but do you really believe that one person comment or a single criminal event can cause such a mess? It is like saying the troubles were caused by a speech of ian paisley. In uk you have huge examples of revolts/wars between different populations ( irish/english/welsh/scottish ) but this time is a comment the cause… seeing from outside it seems … weird
Asshole is a relative idea.
Ok, i surrender to your superior intelligence and i stop arguing.
Be offended should be your problem. Btw in islam , the atheism it is considered one of the worst sin. If you are atheist and your company don’t want to offend muslims , you should be fired based on your reasoning. You are advocating about discrimination, so you have no problem if it is used against you. Your ideas, your consequences.
Make a joke with consequences ( stemming from been fired to stoned, it depends from culture ) is never a problem. You are tolerant like a taliban, only less violent. ( and i respect talibans ). The funny thing is that you think that people thinking different from you is dumb, so strange from a culture based on antiracism.
Not everything… as you said, if i work in usa and i make a joke about a taboo topic, i will be fired. I can even make a joke about the coran in afghanistan and i will finish stoned , so… making a joke with consequences is never a problem.
No problem, i have discussed about religion and morale with most of known religion and i understand that some topics are taboo. No problem, every religion/ideology have these.
I have made no jokes and i’m surprised to not been banned. I’m not angry and i doesn’t care at all about your beliefs that i found quite strange. So, from an external point of view, i try to understand the self consciousness of your religion.
Clearly what? Clearly having different opinion is a mental disease? Interesting point.
To be an empire doesn’t mean be different
