Lol ok sure I never said that they were less evil or anything

Apologia... thats really dumb

This meme implies people think the brits arent as bad as they are

Well if you step back and look at all humans, in varying degrees, theyre all pretty fuckin evil

So thinking any nation or empire isnt evil in some way is pretty fuckin dumb

Unless you label every single brit as evil for the crimes listed above, then your just stupid with a hate boner

It was their leaders, politcal and business, that were fuckin evil

Show me a single entity that didnt have evil leaders at some point you dipshit

Claiming that all people are like this everywhere is tantamount to genocide apologia because it implies that there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about genocide. You're basically stating this is the natural order of things and people are gonna just do this whenever sufficient political power is amassed.

That is absolutely false and ahistorical, genocides are thankfully not as common as white westerners like to pretend they are (just because they're always involved in them).
