You promote imperialism but only if it’s by the West and that says volumes about you.
Guam, America Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and numerous other imperialist adventures have a special historical meaning to Americans, but not special enough to receive the same constitutional rights as mainland Americans. Is this what you mean? Are you saying you prefer one dictator over another?
Pacific Islands demand climate change reparations from Australia, but those islands offer value, so they belong to us, and we will take every last ounce of wealth before they disappear into the sea.
As stated, they offer strategic value, but who benefits? The Solomons certainly don’t, but I digress, and so did you. The point is the West freaks out over China yet has no regard for other nations’ security concerns.
Is it white supremacy that justifies the West, or is it blind arrogance that insists our rights have more merit than others because everyone — even Americans, know American Democracy is a joke?
