British "liberal" philosophers be like "Ahhhh, Napoleon brought slavery back to Haiti!!!!! Napoleon talked about a "White, European race"!! See?!?!?! He's eeeeeevil!!!!"

Also British "liberals": "The niggers and the Amerindians and the Indians etc... etc... are cockroaches under our boot. We should exploit their labor for our own purposes. Hail the White European Race! This is true "noble" liberalism! The World is ours to play with! We are the master-race!"

The only Brit worth any respect in this regard (for being open and relatively consistent about the true tennents of his philosophy) was Carlyle. He supported slavery and imperialism, was openly racist to a degree that even other racist philosophers were freaked out by him, refused to change or aknowledge that change could be good for society, and generally was a curmudgeon (although a very articulate and witty one).

One of the greatest mistakes of all time was American thinkers siding with the British (their literal enemies only a few decades prior) instead of the French (some of their closest historical allies, and those from whom they drew inspiration for their own revolution).

"“The people had said there was something higher than work, more precious than cotton…it was right, and liberty, and doing justice, and bidding defiance to all wrong.”" - THIS is the difference between materialistic obsession with money/property and true, higher, spiritual, human values.
