    Why is it only western imperialism that is bad, though? I hate to indulge in whataboutism, but it’s frankly naive and highly revisionist to believe that imperialism is all of the west and only in the west.

      My native country suffered from Western imperialism back in the 1500s and still is at the very least “managed” by America today… when we (basically the rest of the world) have to fight the same main villain, that IMO is the result of culture, for over 500y and more even if you’re idk West Asian for example, I don’t really see how you could expect the world to think differently. If we ever have to suffer Chinese or idk Nigerian world control, I’m sure we’ll switch our tone.
