Why is the British empire so aggressively hated right now?

You communicate in English, so the British empire will be the focus.

The colonies we had were far better treated than most colonies of the era, or ever to be honest.

Reads early Aus convict history and the extermination of the Aboriginal people. ... Are you fucking delusional?

If you want to educated yourself reading The Fatal Shore and Aboriginal wars:

New book reveals sophistication of Indigenous tactics during frontier wars

The killing times: Australia’s map of frontier war massacres updated

You are not to blame for the actions of the past but to hand wave away the historical reality of colonialism is not helpful in any way.
