You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    Pleas explain how conquest of Tibet and settlement with Chinese, invasion of Vietnam, and the treatment of Uyghurs is not imperialism.

    Because the definition of colonialism is not “something I disagree with that an enemy of America did”. Are you going to try to argue that the invasion of the confederacy was colonialism? Are you going to argue that D-Day was colonialism? Are you going to argue that the treatment of Japanese American’s in WW2 was colonialist? How about you do it? Why is you being a colonialism apologist not colonialism? Why is me stubbing my toe not colonialism? Why is any adversary to West doing anything ever not colonialism?

    HIstorically, China is the oldest empire that’s still around on the planet.

    Lol. “China was an empire five thousand years ago, so anything it does now is colonialism.” Oh well I guess anything Egypt does is colonialism, anything Turkey does is colonialism, anything Peru does is colonialism.

    You’re literally incoherent now.
