Normal day at an Indian subreddit

  1. If the British were really as evil as the nazis then India wouldn’t exist anymore.

  2. I mean… yeah?

    But your comparison is missing the Soviet Union :p

  3. I dunno man, the Germans are doing pretty alright, they just changed their logo.

  4. The British empire was about as cruel and deadly as the Russian Empire and its successor state, the USSR, and as the Chinese Empire under Mao. The difference is that the British won in the 2nd World War and got to write the history books.

    But that’s why India and China and Africa are not as quick to condemn Putin and side with the US and Europe in the matter of Russian imperial aggression in Ukraine, because they remember the shit colonizers did to them and never apologized. The last episode of The Problem With Jon Stewart is exactly about this.

    I mean, the British invented concentration camps (not extermination camps, this was a Nazi invention) and they had concentration camps with widespread torture and rape in Kenya in the 1950s (google: Mau Mau rebellion), after the 2nd World War has already ended and the idea of a concentration camp should be widely considered a major human rights no-no.

  5. There are worst things than nazis. I’ve been learning about the massacres made by the NKVD (not just Katyń) and it’s like an endless hole

  6. The British also fought against it. If the British were like the Nazis, most of the worlds population wouldn’t exist

  7. I mean we can compere some of the crimes but not all, the British werent as Nazis because if they were they would be like the khans, killing like Billions with their Empire.

  8. Let’s please not have a competition about who is the bigger victim Poland or India. Nothing good ever comes from that.

  9. They have a point. The Bengal famine of 1943 was a result of British colonial policies and killed likely more people than Leningrad, almost on par with the Holodomor, and it could have been prevented by the British

  10. Well the thing is, yes, the British were an evil empire who wished to control and exploit as much of the world as possible.

    But hey they were not trying to kill everyone they deemed inferior

  11. Literally under every other post on r/Poland: “Soviets were as bad as the Nazis”

    Other sub: “the British Empire was as bad as the Nazis”

    Some asshats: “You’re a Nazi apologist!”

    EDIT: Honestly, this thread feels scarily similar to some tankie subredits, except with the word “Soviet Union” replaced with “British Empire”. Seriously, the arguments are all the same, the victim blaming, the “show me the documents”, the minimization of the numbers, etc. Sad to see it here of all places

  12. Not that wrong though. It’s British who invented concentration camps and racial based genocide. To be fair, they did apologized.

  13. You guy do realise that we can say that both were bad right? The British killed millions, the Nazis killed millions. One did it in lower numbers over a substantially longer period, beating out the Nazis in sheer number due to having like half a millenium to do it, while the Nazis did an any% speedrun and killed like 20 mil in 6 years. Both bad.

  14. Why is this even posted here? Not related to Poland in any way.

  15. the british absolutely were hypocrites, they might not have been fascists, but they were imperialists, which is also terrible just in its own way.

  16. Don’t know what you are talking about. It might be slow, but they are taking their revenge by slowly taking over the UK..

  17. **It’s all about perspective**. India wasn’t affected by crimes done by Nazis, they were exploited by British.

  18. British had a larger empire and were pretty awful but ffs 6 million is a number of dead for Poland alone

  19. nice to see that people are justifying British deeds by saying “If they were as bad as Nazi, they would have killed more”
    The official data says “2.9 million ethnic pols and 3 million jews died.” The Bengal famine took nearly 3 million lives in a duration of a year ALONE. in addition 87000 British Indian soldiers in ww2. Not including the deaths caused by British Rule from 1875 -1900 which alone account to 28 million.
    why did they not kill everyone ?
    Because if they kill everyone how would they loot the Indian Subcontinent. $45 Trillion that is the amount they looted in there colonial rule. Even Hitler did not kill everyone of you.

    [And what articles are written for him?](https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/winston-churchill-in-a-class-of-his-own-for-his-vision-leadership-and-persistence)

    I thought that you would understand but you are just blindly guided under the flag of winners.

  20. What’s the point of posting this here?
    This is Poland’s subreddit.

  21. Both can suck my dick the same, I hope I will see the fall of the UK in my lifetime

  22. The 6 million figure is *just* Jews, *just* during the war.

  23. As a south American, I get this. For South Americans, most Europeans Countries were (at some point) Violent Imperialists in our perspective. Check your history books.

    Edit2: SPECIALLY the brits.

  24. Top comment mentions

    > Speaking of the Nazis, they too are wrong to execute minorities but not to forget, it was Hitler and our dear Netaji that proposed for INA and Hitler did actually helped India. If he had won, he would have march into Asia and easily win Central Asia and next would liberate India, our INA soldiers were already fighting in East along Japan and who know, we might have Mr. Bose as our best PM.

    Yeah cus Hitler loved brown people and absolutely didn’t view anyone without Nordic features as untermench worthy of slavery or eradication

    Peak Hindutva bullshit

  25. To be honest, both were bad in a way. But the Nazis were definitely more evil since they openly publicized their means of killing to make a “prosperous” country. Also, an apology isn’t enough to forgive warlords like Hitler.

  26. FYI r/Indiaspeaks is a group filled with fascist right wing cowurine drinking b€ll€nds who idolize Mein Fuhrer Narendra Modi. That post also seems ironic as many of India’s right wing leaders were British sympathizers during the independence and they played no part in our independence. India isn’t a great place to be if you’re a minority and it is only going to get worse. I hate both the Brits and Nazis equally.
