Yeah, those areas have done so much better without the Brits.

Western universities are EXTREMELY overpriced indoctrination centers. They are sanctuaries for socialist professors and administrators.
Way past time for a new paradigm for learning.

No bias here...
Great Britain, for better or worse, brought their brand of civilization to corners on the world which had no standard to compare to it. Both India and China were literally dragged from their ancient cultures into the modern world, and a light was shined into Central Africa that was still largely in the Stone Age. An era of taming nature and building from the resources at hand ushered in the Industrial Age, and the fundamentals of capitalism followed the Union Jack everywhere. A semi-isolated island country exerted power over the world that all the previous kings and military rulers previous could not have grasped, let along maintain the control that the British Crown held over the world for literally centuries, before the Empire turned upon itself and was consumed by factions and territorial demands from people who had for centuries only managed to live at a subsistence level.
Give the British their due. They may not have invented civilization, but they certainly raised it to an art form unique in all the world history.
the hellholes of the earth have what color in common?
Pffttt!!
So much damage that the language, many of the customs, and the political systems of the British were adopted by a massively diverse group of nations, not to mention a number of them recognize the British monarch as theirs to this day.
Do these newsie types not recognize when a guest is clearly mentally ill, and shouldn’t be taken seriously?
Do they not do at least some research before they invite these people to be on the air?
Compare the former British colonies in world against the colonies of other European empires and the British ones are doing far better as a whole.
“Great Britain, for better or worse, brought their brand of civilization to corners on the world which had no standard to compare to it.”
Yes, and we could also say that Hitler’s enormous power, ability to attract a following, and barbarity prove nothing about the ‘white’ race as a whole.
Didn’t some nonwhite cultures eat people?
Unfortunately for Africans, Dunlop created the pneumatic rubber tire. So the demand for rubber was high.
Leopold enslaved blacks to harvest rubber. When they met their quota, an arm was amputated.
Black mothers, to avoid dealing with the white devils, amputated an arm of new born boys.
To counter this, Leopold changed it to genitals.
Stanley stated he saw bushels upon bushels of male genitilia.
Belgium peacekeepers paid the price for Leopold's butchery in Rwanda during the Hutu/Tutsi war.
That thing about concentration camps is a reference to the Boer war in South Africa IIRC.
The British likened themselves to the Romans.
Leopold!
Alright, but apart from that, what have the British EVER done for us?
