WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND SEE SIGHTS LIKE THIS I THINK "WHERE DID ALL THE WEALTH YOU STOLE GO?"
The aristocracy are all still obscenely wealthy, and the descendants of people who died in the mines and factories and foreign soil to fuel the Empire's demand for war material and men are still caught in debt traps and poverty struggling to survive.
It's one of those weird things where global north countries are practically re-importing their own imperialist wrath on their "own people".
I hope enough British youth don't stand for this and realize that their aristocracy quite literally committed unforgivable atrocities for only the aristocracy, which only means everyday Britons have to be left holding the bag and be smeared as the bad guys too. All British zoomers have to show for the empire is an embarrassment they largely do not deserve.
