My question is, why are all the other empires not judged to the same standards? Colonialism sucked, but Britain didn’t invent it. Yet they seem to be the only target.

Colonialism is bad and should be regarded with hatred. Are you internalizing that? You’re not the British empire, you don’t gotta do that to yourself

Bro, who tf are you talking to?
The Spanish empire is horrific in its treatment of indigenous people in the Americas.
Ask any Algerian about the French Empire.
King Leopold’s crimes against humanity in the Belgian Congo are impossible to ignore.
Just because the other empires aren’t talked about as often, doesn’t mean they’re forgiven.

Yeah you already said that.
It’s not true, it’s pretty selective reading on your part, but you did say it

Actually, you're responding to the Sir John Colonial.
