Well, Wharf, I don’t mean to show bad manners, but you perhaps need a bit of instruction.

We may not be the sort of people you want to get all aggressive with.

By “we” I mean my people, Anglo-Celts, originally from the British Isles and Northern Europe, but now also living in North America, especially in the Southern part of the USA.

Look at the historical record over the last four or five hundred years --- OUR record, you understand. We have in that time, in one way or another, defeated the Spanish, the French, many aboriginal tribes in North America, the Mexicans, the Germans, and the Japanese. My particular regional branch of Anglo-Celts from the Southern part of the USA put up a ferocious battle for independence in the years 1861-65, taking casualties as high as one in five among the males of the population. As I say, we are not exactly a people you want to mess with.

True, our capacity for war is now being badly and seriously abused by our current political leadership. They are taking us in ways that are immoral, and that fall entirely outside of our tradition. The reason for this I attribute in part to your people. You all have found ways to subvert and pervert our traditions in order to capture our institutions and our wealth for your purposes. These institutions depend on trust. This trust you have abused.

You all -- you people -- present us with novel challenges, ones entirely outside of our historical experience, and we have been floundering. We have made terrible mistakes, which cost us dearly, but slowly, like a sick patient, we are returning to health. We are developing anti-bodies to the disease that you are. I am one of those anti-bodies. I represent the health of the Anglo-Celtic peoples. If you don’t like me, you are in trouble, because I am the future.

My slightly patronizing suggestion to you is the same as before --- wisdom rather than insult and aggression.
