I'm not sure what that matters for the topic at hand.
The British Empire is neither gone nor forgotten.
The whole point was if they're going to be viewed worse than Nazi Germany. Do you feel like there's a point where the empire is gone and people will switch to thinking of it worse than Nazi Germany?
It hasn't happened yet and I don't see it happening tbh.
Is it possible that you can't see the opinion changing because it is a very slow process that you are only living through a portion of? I've noticed more people mentioning the Bengal famine when Churchill is lionized, for example.
