Why is it a bad take? Nobody here is defending America over England. They're both monsters, they're both of the same cloth.

Assuming a us viewpoint, it's akin to a serial killer telling a petty thief how despicable they are for stealing.

Not a perfect metaphor with England's past but considering they're actively trying to educate on and make up for the atrocities they've committed, it serves to illustrate the point.
