Contrary to popular opinion, the British Empire was not the monstrous entity it is characterised as today, in fact it was and remains the most benign empire to have ever existed. While this is in no way a claim that it was perfect, the benefits it brought far outweigh the harm it caused. For example, the very existence of India as a Hindu nation as opposed to a Muslim one can be attributed to Britain, as too can its ability to have a space program. The remarkable success of other former dominions is attributable to their participation in the Empire, without which those countries would be at best backwaters like the former colonies of certain other European empires and at worst would have remained the savage war-torn hellholes they were before the British came.
By comparison, the collapse of the Empire lead in many cases to negative consequences which can still be felt today. The abandonment of its duty to its dominions resulted in the collapse of several once prosperous nations, particularly in Africa where most have never recovered.
Ironically it is the new colonialism of Globalism which behaves far more like the monster the British Empire is accused of being, robbing countries of their best and brightest in order that the elites in Britain and other Western countries can have a never ending supply of cheap labour, and claim to have "won" gold medals in the Olympics and trophies in the football, etc., all of this destroying any hope for recovery in the lands which had prospered when ruled by the "evil" Empire. In exchange for this fake prestige and increase in GDP, the ethnic English, Scots, French, Spanish, etc. are pushed out of their ancient capitals and are subjected to regular abuse by those who seek to blame them for perceived "crimes" committed by their forefathers centuries ago.
