I wouldn't call it a Bri'ish W. It was opportunism. They foresaw the loss of their colonies and so decided to use a bunch of black men as human shields in a desperate attempt to keep those colonies. It was less driven by an ideological sympathy for abolitionism than it was driven by a desire to keep their colonial holdings. The British also opportunistically supported the confederacy during the civil war because they benefited tremendously from the American cotton market in their textile industry. Had the British held onto colonial America, it is very possible they would have betrayed the Ethiopian regiment at the end of the war and put them back in chains, or even more likely, just keep using them as cannon fodder until they all died.
Vegans are right though. They are the only people who go ALL THE WAY with what Marx called "the ruthless criticism of all that exists" and the general fight against oppression.

thousands of remote IT workers sent wages to North Korea to help fund weapons program.
the nation we bombed to smithereens and embargoed for 73 years needs to seek extra-legal means of securing a national revenue. One of the forms this took was doing real labor generating surplus value for the American bourgeoisie and then sending their pittance wages back to the DPRK. We will use this as propaganda against them to justify hurting them even more. We are the baddies!
ancient plankton hundreds of millions of years ago died on the sea floor, got stuck between some rocks, turned into oil, and were pumped out of the earth and refined into plastic, just so they could be turned into that shitty "euphori-lock" that can be gotten around by simply flipping the container and cutting a circle in the bottom and going to town with a spoon.
