!britbongs look at the utter ingratitude of these colonials
Well it would have been more dramatic that way, yes.
How about they try to end the Israel vs. Palestine conflict they caused.
Fun fact: Israel has no right to exist because it should still be the British Mandate of Palestine.

The British had slaves in Indian until the beginning of the 20th century though.
They like to use the words like "indentured servitude", but it's the same kind of shit

The british empire is basically one of the only ones in history that damaged itself legitimately trying to do good things and they get shit on for it and treated like the big bad evil empire for all time. The lesson to take from this is to exterminate all your colonies and brutally oppress everyone you can, because no one will give a frick and cucking yourself for foreigners gets you nothing but a bigger cuck chair

The other lesson to take from this is that literally all the criticism leveled at any Western power is thinly veiled Marxist "critique", i.e. those with power are always wrong, evil, immoral, and unethical.
I'm not even kidding, that is literally the only underlying thought behind all vaguely leftist moaning of the last century. The powerful can never do anything right, and the weak can never do anything wrong. The most egregious example of this was that time when some cop shot a black girl literally mid-stab, and shitlibs and woke blacks still criticized her(!). Cop = powerful = evil.

It's not just that though because there were tons of empires during the age where the british empire was around, most of them were equally powerful or at times more so, and they were all without exception vastly more evil than the british empire was, sometimes to almost cartoonish extremes (if you wrote a character in a movie that did the shit belgian empire did, people would consider it too evil to be believable)
Yet no one ever rags on them for any of that. There's something specifically anti-british going on that I assume is some holdover from american seethe about independence

Apparently the "too evil to be believable" didn't stop you from believing all the exaggerations of an Irish proto-woke cute twink whose freedom fetish got himself executed in the end.

There are lots of factors: scale (Belgium had one irrelevant colony, the UK ran the planet), language (English-speakers are going to be way more exposed to the history of the UK by simple cause of relation), relevancy (Belgium is a tiny, irrelevant nothing today, the UK isn't). But primarily, it's that Belgium lost its power status, therefore there's no current-day power structure to have an emotional attachment to. And don't forget that the people espousing this rhetoric all-but-fetishize small European democracies because they can't tell the difference between social democracy and socialism - which is aided heavily by the language barrier.
It's nothing to do with the British specifically, it's literally entirely to do with projecting (sometimes entirely imagined) power structures (i.e. narrative matters more than fact, see: intersectionality) onto literally everything.

Marx was pro British Empire. Historical materialism requires capitalist powers to spread capitalism to feudal and pre-feudal societies.

In an accelerationist way, yeah, but not because he liked empires.
Mind you, that idea of his is what his entire philosophy hinges on and time has proven it conclusively wrong.

I made a poem for u: Double BIPOC gigaBIPOC BIPOC snow BIPOC jewish chad cracker honkey hard-working American jew, BIPOC BIPOC sexy Indian dude injun BIPOC can't forget chinks too
one of the worst things about the reddit age is making an analogy and someone going "STRAWMAN" like yeah neighbor it's an invented comparison for people who can imagine not eating breakfast this morning
The bongs didn't build that much infrastructure, just enough to extract resources, like the hypothetical chink trains
None of this not that simple, yeah they forcefully modernized society which included some objectively good things like not burning women (idk I take that back, maybe good) but they didn't modernize it much, and India was still a shithole when they left, and maybe made worse. Wages dropped during the British period and famines increased.
This is like when the Arabs go "bbbut us conquering part of Europe was good because we actually preserved and advanced culture while Europe was in a dark age" (which is a myth) Like they may have done some good, but them staying put would have been better. In the analogy, maybe chingchongs building a high-speed rail system throughout North America would be beneficial, but I don't think anyone would take that trade
idk guess Marx agreed w you
Southerners shit their pants about reconstruction and that was essentially the same fricking ethnic group as them doing it. Imagine it it was victorious frogs or sexy Indian dudes, they'd never let it go
