That moment when you pretend to fight against imperialism - by implicitly supporting imperialists in the PRC.

First of all, not American.

Second of all, nine-dash line and neo-colonialism in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe says very differently. As does the Han supremacism that Xi surrepitously perpetuates.

I don’t know, claiming parts of other counties as their own on official maps seems pretty imperialist to me. I also don’t know what your definition of totalitarian is if you believe the US is totalitarian. I’ve heard claims of authoritarianism before, but claims of totalitarianism make even less sense. It seems like an effort to render a word meaningless by misusing it.

America is imperialist, as is China, Russia, and every other major world power. It’s just what large states tend to do. I suspect MLs view imperialism only through the lens of capitalism, when imperialism far predates capitalism. Capitalist imperialism is only one form of an empire projecting its power.

Don’t usually see this much autofellatio without a @lemmygrad or @hexbear following the username.

China is imperialist to a degree, but they’re certainly not invading countries all over the place like the US. People here like to claim that bringing up the US is whataboutism even though the US is the prime example of imperialism currently and the US likes to preemptively point at China and Russia to distract from their own actions.

I think anyone saying “behave under the rules I set or I kill you” is an authoritarian.

I’ll wait while you invent reasons why this definition only fits the USA and not Russian or China.

I bet I’ve spent more time in China than you have.
