Cite! The US does anything it wants to keep corporate power corporate. We topple lots of democracies. US is squarely imperialist.

- HWR_14 4y agoThey're clearly talking about since WWII. When the US has definitely picked up the tab to ensure freedom for Europeans, Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans, and former English colonies throughout the world. Sure, the US was somewhat imperialist a century ago, but that's long gone.

- HWR_14 4y agoI think we're in agreement about post WWII. The US was invited into Europe and paid a lot of money to hold off the Russians. It protected the Taiwanese, Koreans and Japanese. That's pretty much what I said.
