For my personal enjoyment of your post it would help if you explained why you think this is an imperialism-tool, as currently this just reads as you claiming this will be abused. There's not a lot of substance and that makes me sad.
- Nasrudith 6y agoI think step one of anybody using the "i" or "e" words (imperialism/exploitation) should be to define what the they actually mean before expecting to be taken seriously. There are far too many very /very creative/ sinisterizing definitions out there for both deliberately conflated with other definitions. Are we talking "residental schools to deliberately and actively wipe out their language" imperialism or "selling blue jeans outside your borders is imperialism because you are destroying indigenous cultures even though the actual people in them want it" imperialism?
- krageon 6y agoIf you replace blue jeans with opium suddenly everyone understands why it is imperialism. For me, the example you have with jeans is also unquestionably imperialist. For word definitions we have a dictionary and I think in this case that is sufficient.
