It's actually fucking insane Churchill and his policies killed 4 million Indians while he was in office and you call it "precisely the monster required at the time" fuck if you think so lowly of brown people I guess Hitler was the monster required for the time too, he broke the western European colonial empires to the point their empires crumbled not long after. So 6 million Jews, makes Hitler the most evil man on earth but 4+ million south Asians dying under Churchills watch is "precisely the monster required for the time" you fucking dunce
