Why was the British Empire so exploitative and incompetent? Every

I don't know why spain and portugal get all the derisive comments about being "exploitative" when britain was just as bad.

Places run by tyrannical regimes are usually not very efficient compared to a free and independent populace.

It's because (((they))) strongly influence the discourse in the anglosphere.

And by they I mean the Tories.

You'll notice India goes up well after independence, because they had retarded socialist economic models until they got rid of them and decided to go down the China route.

Despite their "retarded socialist economic models", after stagnating for a century under the benign neglect of the Raj, the GDP quickly rose immediately after independence and apparently soared when they reformed the economy.
Of course the initial post-independence rise may have had a lot to do with the Green Revolution.
