I think you’re kind of caricaturing genocide and imperialism don’t you think? Genocide and imperialism aren’t about the mass slaughter and theft of resources or occupation, it’s more a state of mind than anything else. In the grand zeitgeist of our era, China administering unilateral governance over their extraneous territories without discussing it with the international community is an imperialism of sorts; Our brief visit to Iraq and Afghanistan however was just military tourism but can be thought of as a form of imperialism as well. They’re both not good but surely you can see how China’s efforts are worse, no? There were certainly mistakes made in Iraq but you need to remember Africa will now forever be a province of China thanks to their debt trap policies, and please don’t compare that with the IMF because we both know what kind ‘ism’ that is. You think Palestinians or Native Americans would ever trade what happened to them to instead be ruled over by the Chinese Empire under a forever debt? Yeah I didn’t think so either.
Edit: I hate that liberal thought has gotten so unhinged my post is being taken seriously. My guys, my post is patently absurd; I’m not being serious.
Tbh if I see something is from a poster here I loosen the screws on my bullshit detector and assume they’re trying to say something in good faith. This is too much though, of course its a bit or this comment wouldn’t even stand lol.
I definitely tried to put some extremely overt nonsense in the post (“Genocide and imperialism aren’t about the mass slaughter and theft of resources or occupation, it’s more a state of mind than anything else” and “You think Palestinians or Native Americans would ever trade what happened to them to instead be ruled over by the Chinese Empire under a forever debt?”) but sadly even I had to wonder if perhaps some libs would encounter my post and start nodding in agreement without actually comprehending what I was saying.
(I quoted those two lines in my post, but honestly everything in there was patently absurd but we’re at a point where libs say stuff like this unironically)

Poe’s law is strong here.
Absurd, 0 facts, 0 citations, just vibes
Should checked the profile, lol
