You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    Otherwise, I haven’t even used the word colonialism, but imperialism. China was called Chinese Empire until 1912. They were weak at the time because of technological, societal, administrative and scientific deficiencies. The Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China laid claim to the same imperial possessions. It’s a continuation of the same imperial civilization under a different name.

    I mentioned specific things, not everything.

      Calling it “imperialism” is just as bullshit as calling it “colonialism” and for the same reason. You’re quibbling over which word as if they don’t both just mean “a bad thing” to you.
