She did a smart thing relating it to just slavery. Not many people know about how the English robbed Africa and India of resources. Don's such a fricking cuck.

Yeah, Indians are totally cucks. They couldn't even maintain their OWN colonies! The British were like, "Hey, guys, can we borrow some land?" and the Indians were all like, "Sure, take whatever you want!"

It's a bit of both. Yes they did build infrastructure in the colonies, yes some of them allowed for some autonomy (like Malaysia), but any actual development to the colonies is basically incidental as the whole point was to make Britain rich.

The whole point was prestige over other European colonial states, a peepee measuring contest. Yes I suppose they did get some tea and rubber too, but it wasnβt the main goal

The Indian economy was in shambles even before WW2 because it had been brutally mogged by the Japanese in the textile industry, and only persisted because the Indians begged the British for tariffs that would keep Japanese cloth out of the commonwealth.

Indian textile industry didn't really exist India exported yarn and imported clothes from England.
