True or False?

The British Empire was objectively more evil than National Socialist Germany.
>>

False. The empire never rounded up entire ethnic groups with the aim of exterminating them.

Something the government and people rapidly put a stop to, best described as an overwhelming act of incompetence and stupidity. Also not an action against an ethnic group.

True.

But the British killed and enslaved hundred times more people and are gullible for most of the conflicts still ongoing (middle East, Africa, India/Pakistan,...) The Nazis only persecuted Jews and to some degrees Slavs, Brits killed and enslaved all races. How does this speak in favor of the Brits?

The British concentration camps were on a smaller scale than the Polish concentration camps because there simply weren't that much Boers.

Does that make it ok for them to kill million civilians around the world?
>>
>>2753068
This is too rich. America was one of the last large scale slaver societies. The War of 1812, predating the ACW by almost half a century, was in large part instigated by the hurt feelings of slave-trading Americans over British attempts to stamp out the practice at the source. American slave-carrying ships would swap flags (often to Brazilian) solely to avoid British impressment.
>>
>>2753016
Only because they did not need slaves anymore.

No, it was to block Americans from receiving slaves that did free labor.

That's an opinion. Though it is true that America's wild west expansion, the British Empire, Napoleon and the Roman Empire were all influential on Hitler yet they are still romanticized.

India is only united because we united it, otherwise it'd remain an arbitrary mess of princely states. Middle East being divided is part of (((anothers))) agenda. Africa was divided in Berlin, we simply got the lands we had taken.

The British didn't go full retard across their own continent for clay and the chance to exterminate a minority nobody but them really cared about.

At the very least, their atrocities were done on time and with some degree of profit for just about all involved. The Nazis couldn't even manage that.

False. Even after everything they did to my country, the British empire did more good for the world overall.

Although not in Ireland, where they definitely did more bad.
>>
Britain was more perfidious. Imagine a grandstanding moral demagogue denouncing his enemies as evil for standing up for their families and homeland, lying to everyone, and pulling strings from the shadows. A more infuriating kind of evil, more morally disgusting.

No one can match the sheer brutality and empire of lies that was the Soviet Union, though. Even Mao's millions of dead during the great Leap Forward was mostly a mistake and result of poor planning, compared to the deliberate brutality and malice of Stalin and the NKVD.
>>
>>2757128
What are you, American? The completely wrecked ME-NA and Africa-proper, and did nothing good for India. They have a higher bodycount overall than Nazi Germany ever thought about having.

Even the Nazis at least admitted that they were there to subjugate and rule, by any means necessary. An Englishman's dying breath will still let out one final lie.

>Unironically proving his point

Britain was the first western power to make the slave trade illegal and cucked American slave imports to death. This resulted in having to breed slaves instead of just working them to death and buying new ones.

Britain also exported the first major emancipation movements to America through the Anglican church.

False. le eternal Anglo meme is only spouted by edgy contrarians who want to seem enlightened. Its the equivalent of that vegan who tries to show you what factory farming does, or that kid who never showered telling you that "Capitalism kills more than communism."

That's not to say the Brits are innocent. Far from it, but to say they're worse than Nazi Germany is laughable, they've been comparatively saint like considering all the shit the Nazis did in 1/50th of the time scale of the Brits.

True. They unironically forced multiculturalism on millions of Africans, Arabs, and Mesopotamians, managed to destroy Europe more efficiently than the Germans ever could, and then later helped destroy Germany itself.
