Are you under the impression that Europe is somehow inoculated against imperialism? It’s been fine going along with the US right up to this point, and has sins all its own.
Most US imperialist actions post-WWII haven’t been for territory. The modern version is more economic and abstract. It’s why Steven Pinker could write a whole book on why violence has declined in the world, be technically correct for the most part, but completely misses how the situation has transformed.
And yes, the EU is very guilty of it all, too. You can claim the US is worse, and certainly a revival of territorial imperialism is a regression to a horrible history, but this wholesale wiping away of EU sins is completely unjustified.
Unlike you Americans, we actually do recognize our actions against our past colonies as crimes against humanity!
lmao 14 countries are forced to use France’s central bank. Do you think Africa sells you labor and resources for pennies instead of developing their means of production because they just love stripping their country of resources for you?
Again, can you maybe read your links? It exclusively gives examples of immortality of the US?
It literally doesn’t, scroll down.
The economic dependency is another fun segment for implying that the smaller countries don’t want the larger one’s investment in return of soft power!
The investment is in maintaining systems that keep resources flowing out as cheaply as possible. Yall aren’t sending dictators arms out of the goodness of your hearts.
It’s a theory in international relations which argues that colonialism is all present today and excercised by mainly the West, but not in the form of guns and slavery but via the economical system and centre vs periphery

Most of Europe is actively helping Israel exterminate the Palestinians in an act of brutal colonialism.

You’re still keeping all of the wealth though, naturally, and maintaining the system of unequal exchange that lets you increase that wealth.

Wait, you really don’t know about neocolonialism?
Also American cheeses as a whole are extremely mid, you’re not going to find anyone defending that shit out outside of Wisconsin.

I explicitly said it’s a return to a horrible history. If you’re not going to take arguments that are given, then I think we’re done here.
