Slavery? Civil War? Extermination of Native Americans? Jim Crow laws?
Yeah, shit worked real good.

I grovel at your mastery of history. I didn't realise that England lost the Empire as a direct result of legalisation of homosexuality, relaxation of censorship laws, recognition of de facto relationships, and other such forays into "liberal" thinking that occured in the 1960s and 1970s.
I'd always laboured under the misapprehension that it occurred in the years immediately following the ruinous Second World War. Thanks for correcting me.
And, of course, neither France nor Germany's power was in the slightest affected by either the First *or* the Second world wars, not even when Germany was partitioned by the victorious powers! It was turning "ultra liberal" that did it!
Time to rewrite all those history books, I guess.
