I get that you aren't going around telling libs that Bernie Sanders is basically a fascist, but this isn't a private forum, not everyone is as careful as you, and leftists sliding into "One True Leftist" territory at the expense of anything resembling a mass movement is a real problem. Entertaining stuff like this doesn't do any good and might do some bad.
And I don't think France getting their asses chased out of Algeria and Indochina explains the British turning over Jamaica (where there was no threat of anything like those French imperial wars), and it definitely doesn't explain the U.S. deciding to grant independence to The Philippines 20-30 years earlier.
