American Imperialism

[den]

I'm growing tired of hearing about American Imperialism and Western Imperialism.

The only land the US has gained in all the wars over the last 100 years are the little plots the soldiers are buried in.

I don't recall hearing or reading that phrase anywhere*, unlike "American Imperialism." The term Corporate Imperialism would be better. It's as fasionable to do some Yank Bashing as it is to do French Bashing.

I know the US Government has set up friendly governments in other countries, but those guys seem to turn anti-US within a few years.

I thought you were censored out of that community. 8)


*that doesn't mean I never heard it. I may have caught it from the background telly noise.

I've been doing Yank Bashing for a long time now, war or no war ;p It's too easy a target.

I wasn't censored out of the community in the sense that the moderator came in and banned me, it was just the one person who didn't like the thought that someone could have a contradicting opinion and was prepared to defend it, so they deleted all the contradicting posts. I can still post freely to the community, afaik.
