Don’t kid yourself. Europeans were primitive too at the time. They didn’t know how to live in harsh climate of North American, but the Natives did. I don’t think knowing how to survive is primitive.
And why not? The British did.
For how much longer? Their autonomy over their bodies has been taken from them and returned to a time before 1972. What’s next? Not being allowed a credit card, like it was before 1972? Being denied birth control as a single woman and if married, only having birth control if her husband OK’d it, like it was in the 60s? You really need to get a clue concerning history.
