What are some examples where the native people were better off as a colony than an independent nation?
Rhodesia, aka Zimbabwe, case in point they're asking for western agriculturalists to run the farms they forced white people off.
South Africa, you know, apartheid, crime rates, etc.
Australia... Who just need to realise that the aboriginal people and not the aboriginal culture are what's worth saving.
Canadian native Americans, Brits tried to help them and ensured the settlers didn't harrass them (the Americans did not or did so a lot less)
Otherwise, history is rife with examples where subjugated people are treated like shit. Some of it is played up simply because of the racism the subjugated people had for their oppressors, but most of it isn't and even the Brits caused a famine of two (thinking about Ireland here). The British (and their derived culture, aka "westerners") are a people/culture that actively seeks to improve conditions for all humans, which is kind of rare in history where most cultures and nations are self-serving.
BTW, the whole tolerance thing and leftism and caring for what we called "underprivileged"? British culture was already moving that way by the 18th century, naturally the commonwealth was one of the first authorities to outlaw slavery.

there's a lot of dissonance between actual british values of compassion and charity etc and how their elite acted towards those in the colonies

Any British colony except Singapore. Probably any African colony except maybe the Congo.
Ruthenia, and I'm talking about Polish colonization.

Even the majority of blacks want Apartheid back.
(technically not a colony)

Canadian Native American here.
I disagree, we had it great. The British inevitably slaughtered us and diseased us and sent our children against our consent for 100 years to residential schools which created many of the social issues we have today because we lost our identity.
In reclaiming our identity, language and customs, we must become students of history.

>i just HAD to be edgy
>le south africa apartheid meme
1. no most black south africans don't want apartheid back
2. they introduced apartheid after becoming independent, and the UK was opposed to it

Well, yeah, even today people who have convinced themselves they're elite or upper class are insufferable faggots, its just the nature of elitism.
But to the British compassion and charity are a mark of civilisation and being civilised, they're one of the first to act that way.
>>89513
For better or for worse, India didn't NEED Britain and when they started raising taxes they had a reason to tell them to fuck off. India always had their own civilisation, they were one of the first. Meanwhile, a lot of other native populations went from a Neolithic society to an, albeit impoverished, modern society. That's a pretty noticeable jump.
I don't think people realise, India doesn't want to change. They want to continue living as they have done for thousands of years. This is why India won't change, in a couple thousand years time they'll still have a caste system and they'll look really out of place.

Brits didn't give a flying fuck about the natives or their subjects.
They rarely tried to impose any ideology on them, but on the other didn't have a Problem with massacring tribes or starving entire People.
British colonialism was a solely profit-oriented Adventure. That's why it was so succesfull

All i saw was some slight bumps around the world war for soldiers being drafted. But most of them actually got home after the war or chosed to stay in france
>>89981
Too busy voting SFP to fuck over Finns for do that.
>>89103
In West Papua many native tribes welcomed the dutch because they brought an end to the perpetual tribal war that had been going on for millenia.
Other than that I can't think of any, maybe Rhodesia.
