My alienation from one of our greatest achievements -The British Empire?
What on earth gives you that impresion?

Well let's put it this way. My late father lived in India between 1917 and 1939, first in the Indian Army and then in business, so he was very much part of the late 'Imperial scene'. I still have his Government of India passport with the Viceroy's (facsimile) signaure.
The life out there was very good for him and his compatriots but somehow I don't think that your ideas would have fitted in too well. The ballot on your application to join the club could have resembled a field full of sheep's droppings.
Our Empire - like all the others - was based on inequality. Egalitarianism killed it off.
