    Anti-imperialism should really be called anti-western-imperialism, because anti-imperialist countries can be imperialist themselves (like Crimea in Russia).

      I'm not a fan of using words and definitions in that manner, to be honest. It's the same discussion as the old "black people cannot be racist, because by my definition racism is always institutional" canard. You're throwing people off by using words in a sense that are not generally understood that way.

      That said, fuck western imperialism.

        Yeah I'm going to start calling it anti-western-imperialism now. Definitions are a fuck and cause way more issues than we think they do.
