The same way the UK ruling over Wales isn’t imperialism or how the US existing at all isn’t imperialism or how Turkey ruling over the Kurds isn't imperialism or how the Spanish ruling over the Catalonia’s isn’t imperialism. They both just are and aren’t imperialism depending on what definition you use.
There’s no hard line between what is and isn’t imperialism, and the modern idea of a state is inherently imperialist if your definition is ruling over people who don’t want to be ruled over.
If you can provide an indisputable definition of imperialism then maybe we can get somewhere.
Yeah, all nations are imperialists. So till we get rid of nations as a whole, we need a better way of differentiating between, say, Alberta wanting to exit Canada and Catalonia seeking independence from Spain.

They’re all imperialism lol the nation state is a fuck. I actually said they’re all imperialism literally in my comment which is why I picked extremely obvious examples

Exactly my point. They’re all technically imperialism because that’s how states work
