    Okay. So you see what I’m saying then. Imperialists do this stuff.

      Except what you have linked was already US State department propaganda

      Could you please define imperialism in anywhere between 20 and 1000 words?

        Imperialism is when a country (or any political group, I guess) pushes their worldview onto others. That’s without looking anything up so I may have forgotten some aspect.

        …

        Okay, I looked it up. I agree with the definition I found that says it’s more about exerting power than just “worldview”. That seems like a better definition.

            Yes? I don’t know where this thread is going.

              This thread is going towards the conclusion that you’ve adopted a definition of imperialism that is so broad as to be unworkable, because it treats all political violence as being the same thing.

                  You should probably backpedal on this definition before you start framing Israel-Palestine as an interimperialist war

                  No need to say anything, you just need to read books.

          What a bizarre definition. Apparently any activist group is an empire.
