  • The reply I made doesn't depend on the definition of imperialism because the comment I was replying to wasn't refuting that definition of imperialism.

    I was pointing out that their argument boiled down to "yeah well that doesn't count because the USA does it too".

    Idk why you're trying so hard to be an asshole, but you're putting words in my mouth and then insulting me about them.

  • For sure split up the USA.

    Maybe then they'll be too occupied to meddle with other nations

    I think that mobile phones became popular before chat rooms.Chat rooms existed first, but I think that they were mostly just for nerds until the early to mid 2000s

  • As I've said repeatedly what China is doing is better than what the USA is doing. But that's bar is so low that it's buried under the ground. Being better than the USA doesn't make them beyond criticism and doesn't make it good. The lesser of evils is still evil.

  • I'm aware.But practically, that's a difference without distinction. The majority of the rest of the world considers Taiwan to be a sovereign nation, and Taiwan has been acting as such for a long time. Functionally, that argument is the same as Russia is making with Ukraine, and technicalities over academic language doesn't change that.

    North Korea and South Korea are de facto separate countries, even though their civil war technically didn't end. If the south invaded the North, that'd be the same.

  • The potential for bad is bad. It's why benevolent dictatorship is still bad.

    Let's not forget the long history of vassal state politicians praising and thanking their subjugator.

    Again, I think this is better than what the USA does, but it's still worthy of criticism.

  • Do better at what? This isn't a competition.

    The dude said "yeah well the USA does it too", as though doing the same thing as an imperialist nation was some kind of gotcha.That's the conversation.

    So what is the point y'all are making with your memelording?

  • China and laos have strong friendship... According to China today? 🤨

    I'm not saying that China is currently taking advantage of Laos, I'm saying that China has put Laos in a position where nothing is stopping them from taking advantage of Laos. The threat is implicit.

  • But they haven't.Right now PRC holds all the assets and gets all the revenue, and laos holds all the debt and all the risks, for 30 years. China has used this to grant themselves positions of control over large parts of the infrastructure planning.

  • Debt trapping, for example, laos.

    Still a lot better than what the USA does - better to build out country's infrastructure and then hold them ransom with the debt than bombing schools, but it doesn't make them good or beyond criticism.
