Hey, i hate the british too, but the article doesn’t directly blame the british for the famines and it also includes famines that took place in non-british held or administrated territories.
Nevertheless, it does point out that in many cases, british administration worsened the situation.
It also just one territory, I’m sure the Irish also have a few bones to pick.
Though the best answer might be “mosquitos”, and while “blood sucking insects” could be a name for british colonists, they didn’t spread malaria since the dawn of humanity
Can definitely blame them… Several of the famines in their ‘empire’ were either engineered, caused through incompetence or arrogance, or ignored when preventable.
Ref: Any of bengal’s several famines under British rule, frankly even after once you take Churchill into account.
Pretty sure the answer is “the brits”.
Cats cant pronounce that tough, so it has to count all of those in a socialist’s name.
In other news have you seen the latest royal wedding? So beautiful and glamorous, makes me feel blessed to have monarchs ruling over us!
I like when the prince ripped off the princess’s arm and shoved it into her ass.
A beautiful day for Canada and therefore the world.

To be fair… They were only practising for how they’d treat modern Britain.

In fairness we’ve been around a lot longer, but it is impressive how one little island nation has managed to fuck so much shit up from afar.
I think that Queen Victoria would rank pretty in the body count scoreboard
Yep, anyone saying otherwise is doing mental gymnastics.
Or simply keeping with the theme of answers being a single individual and not an entire nation of hundreds of millions of people spanning centuries.
Fair enough to be honest. I hate Mao, Genghis Khan, Hitler and Stalin too for being genocidal fucks.
Is it Mr the brits or Mrs the brits?
Ohhhh, you’re conflating a single leader with an entire country.
You must be a lib, tankies say libs never argue in good faith, and your false equivalence is certainly in bad faith.
Until recently it was Mrs. Now it’s Mr or alternatively his majesty king Charles the 3rd.
Is there enough reliable data to give a kill count for the different monarchs? It would be kind of interesting who scores highest in that regard.
Exactly! Mao was one leader, England killed millions, sure, but that was spread over many many rulers.
Mao stands at the top afaik, I’d love to see some stats though!
We were all pretty cool with it all at the time tbh.
Plenty of us will still defend it, which is crazy.
Can hardly blame them, pestilence and diseases are a genuine concern for any empire where armed forces have to move far distances over land or sea
