    You are talking to me like I'm someone who worships US and their imperialism and capitalism, I'm not. So all your targeted comments just falls flat to me.

    If Palestine manages to push out the zionists and take back some of their land, will that be imperialism? Because according to this it will.

    Freeing yourself from apartheid state is by definition anti-imperialist...

    You are clearly trying to "boil down" the definition to fit your own narrative. It clearly states that simply having control over something is not enough to be imperialist, you need to have dominion over it. Something like bilateral economic dependence is not soft power that constitutes imperialism.

    It's clear that you are not interested in honest discussion where we can disagree on merit instead you seem to be arguing against something that I haven't expressed. Have a nice day.

      I'm talking to you like someone who is demonstably falling back on US propaganda lines at every turn. I dont care if you hold reverence in your heart for the US empire, i care that you are going out of your way to try and justify it. I care what you do, not what you say you think.

      Freeing yourself from apartheid state is by definition anti-imperialist...

      By who's definition? Certainly not mirriam-webster's. Do you have another one I haven't seen yet?

      You are clearly trying to "boil down" the definition to fit your own narrative.

      I am considering your stated views one step further than you and pointing out the contradictions that arise

      It clearly states that simply having control over something is not enough to be imperialist, you need to have dominion over it.

      Now we're splitting hairs. Where does control become dominion? What's the difference?

      It's clear that you are not interested in honest discussion where we can disagree on merit

      I'm bringing analysis where you've brought shifting definitions and unexamined quasi-religious truisms about the absolute necessity of an instrument of US imperialism. Where's your merit?

      Have a nice day.

      Merry Christmas/happy holidays
