Thanks for that, but you overlooked the first paragraph of my comment. I've referred to writing about US foreign policy. These essays do not target anyone, but somehow, they elicit anger towards me for citing the facts.

Nationalism is extremely prevalent on the right and "left" in the US, leading to fascism. However, the democrats who comment on anti-imperialism topics are unaware that it is not progressive or leftist. These commenters justify US neo-colonialism’s capitalization of disadvantaged people, yet they claim to support class, race, and gender struggles. The correct term for them is the Professional Managerial Class, but this term isn't well known within the public.

In the second paragraph of my comment on Joshua's essay, I've highlighted who these comments are coming from to address their political affiliation because this is who they claim to be. That is not to say every single person who considers themself "progressive" is commenting on anti-imperialist topics.

My point is nationalism is so intense that we willingly ignore the US' ugly side and belittle anyone who discusses it. You helped to prove my point by ignoring and disregarding the core of the comment to defend the fascists (which is a better label) who refuse to acknowledge US imperialism.

While your fight is to correct language, mine is to address US foreign policy, but Americans don't seem to care that our government commits atrocious crimes because we have more important things to focus on...
