As someone in the same situation I find this opinion to be equivalent to a Vietnamese man telling everyone he is reminded of the Vietnam war on the day that Barack Obama dies.

A lot of colonial atrocities happened during Elizabeth II's reign, directly under her rule. Afaik, Vietnam War was well over when Barack Obama became president.

No analogy is perfect - however the Queen has zero influence over those atrocities. She's a puppet.

So if she's a puppet that can't really change things for the better, why this enormous thread with so many people gushing over her?

If she was just another paper pusher and camera model in a world filled with them (like you seem to be saying), her death isn't one of any significance to humanity.

If she was someone who could have used her influence to change things for the better, like Diana would have if she'd been alive - if the Queen was someone who could have done that and didn't, because she didn't want to risk her position, then the anger in this thread is justified and deserved.
