I think it's from way way back, before the Empire.
But it's no wonder that Marx built his theory while in England.
As much as I hate this British characteristic, or perhaps because of the hatred, I love The Kinks. And this song is great:
Brainwashed
You look like a real human being
But you don't have a mind of your own
Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
But you're brainwashed
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
You've got a job and a house
And a wife, and your kids and a car
Yeah, you're conditioned to be
What they want you to be
And be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees
The aristocrats and bureaucrats
Are dirty rats
For making you what you are
They're up there and you re down here
You're on the ground and they're up with the stars
All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around
Till you can't take any more
To them you're just a speck of dirt
But you don't want to get up off the floor
Mister you're just brainwashed
They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
Yeah, you're conditioned to be
What they want you to be
And to do what they want you to
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
I was being a bit silly, Scrat. The brits had serfdom and kingdoms.....
I hate it when I feel stupid.
Aw, I hate offending my friends by accident!
'Twas no offense, littlek, but a timely reminder.
oh, ok.
How were your holidays?
On one hand, cold, damp, with very little sunlight. But that happens every Christmas.
On the other, quite fine. Better than others. And yours?
Mine was nice. I didn't even get a hint of the usual depression. Strange, that!
Brushing teeth with sherry might be all right if you don't have to go to work. I mean, where I work, having an alcoholic breath is just cause for being sent home in shame. For repeat offenses, dismissal might be considered or, at least, counseling.
Hm, Merry, and you dont think somehow they'll accept the excuse? "No, ma'm, I'm not drunk at all - I just brush my teeth with sherry!"?
Ok, I hate..let's see..it's true I don't hate.This is stupid there must be something that I hate, but I can't find what I hate
I hate perfect people who don't hate anything....
I hate people, who say they hate people, who hate people.
Therefore, you hate yourself!
And I hate people who hate perfect people...
Watchall gonna do about that?
This is deeper than a lecture on Kant
Hmm... Didn't know who Kant was... until now. :wink:
That's what I hate about twenty-somethings, they're thirsty for knowledge
Don't be hatin'.
Just be glad you already know! :wink:
All in fun Brasileira...remember...all in fun
