This is true but it’s important to recognize that this was because of the French (Napoleon) and Roman empires, Christianity just as the brutal American and UK empires created these circumstances today

The napoleonic empire lasted about 15 years, so that's a bit of a stretch.

More relevantly though, good things can come from people who also did bad things; this isn't to justify doing bad things in hopes something good also happens, but it doesn't mean we need to ideologically purge good things based on their creators.
