          The whole point was if they’re going to be viewed worse than Nazi Germany. Do you feel like there’s a point where the empire is gone and people will switch to thinking of it worse than Nazi Germany?

          It hasn’t happened yet and I don’t see it happening tbh.

            Is it possible that you can’t see the opinion changing because it is a very slow process that you are only living through a portion of? I’ve noticed more people mentioning the Bengal famine when Churchill is lionized, for example.

                  Definitely most Europeans and Westerners, but I meant most people. But I don’t think there’s any actual numbers or that so not much sense to get into an argument about it

                    Come to a country that was colonised by the British, and you’ll see a very different opinion. And there’s far more of us than white people.
