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.
I don’t consider them as worse than Nazi Germany, but I consider them as pretty bad.
The massacres and famines in India comes to mind.
The wars in China to keep selling them opium.
And the fact that Nazi Germany had to hide the genocide from the general population, but when a Britiah military officer massacred civilians, they were bailed and cheered on by the general population is a nuance to the idea that the British Empire was better in every regard.
The US Empire is dying, when it finally caves the spotlight will be on the constant genocide, plunder, and warmongering this empire did.
British Empire is dead and buried but most wouldn’t consider them worse than Nazi Germany
It’s merely vassalized, not dead and buried. The UK is still imperialist.
I’m not sure what that matters for the topic at hand.
The British Empire is neither gone nor forgotten.

Depends on who you ask.
I did say “most” in the first comment
Most Europeans, maybe, not most people.
