@jeremiah @augustus that's as it exists now, and I know there was a suspicious amount of pro-UK shilling prior to WWI, but what about interwar attitudes? Weren't a lot of Americans bitter about having to involve themselves in a war where not even a high fantasy story could include any element of direct threat to the US? If Britain were also a geopolitical enemy at the time, it might not be so hard for propaganda to get Americans to hate Brits.

I was offended in the late 2000s when the media was deebly goncerned about stochastic terrorism against Muslims in the US, but in 2022 all it took was CNN saying "hey you're allowed to hate Russians now" for every company to release a personal statement on how they're immediately amputating their Russian customers and letting the wound bleed freely as an act of self-flagellation.
