      Weird way to spell imperialism. Ig all the millions of victims of the US around the world can rest easy knowing their deaths made some capitalist richer.

        When I think of imperialism, I think of colonies, which isn’t really applicable. But the US does make trade agreements that are often harsh and unfair.
