we're in this new horrible era of imperialism where the justification for imperialism has become the ghosts and consequences of previous generations of imperialism. every desperate imitation of the west to avoid colonization (genocide, anti-lgbt, poor labor rights, pollution) becomes a new casus belli from the children of the people who showed the global south 'that's how you get strong'.

we so desperately need to reclaim the language of liberation from the cynical evil people in power :yes-honey-left:
