Collective guilt is problematic regardless of which direction you point the gun.

  It's really telling you jumped right to "guilt". Nobody said the Brits had to feel guilty for their ancestors doing that. Just that they don't get to complain lol

    Are Brits not guilty of conquering the world? That would seem to be an honest reading of what you wrote.

        The user you replied to said "collective guilt", which implies the former, and you seem to be confirming they were correct and that this side track about "feelings" is just you trying to diminish their point. There's no need to lash out, you certainly won't gain anything by doing so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_responsibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_responsibility

          That's a lot of "implies" and "seems". I can't be held responsible for other people's reading comprehension when the words are plain on the page.
