You said you did not understand what the other person was saying. This can only come from not really understanding what imperialism is and how it functions.
I explained what they were saying.
You are now trying to divert away from that. Because it is not a topic you wish to engage in while you do this nationalist thing of engaging in apologetics and sly weasel-word half-hearted US support.
Is guess I could’ve said “I’m not sure why you’re arguing” instead of “I’m not sure what you’re arguing”.
you do this nationalist thing
I’m not American, how would speaking well of a nation I’ve never even visited be nationalist? (I can already imagine you calling me a traitor to my own country)
half-hearted US support
As opposed to full-hearted US support? You don’t have to be extremely against something or extremely for something (though I’m aware extreme leftists would like to see it that way).
I do recognize the negative things the US does and has done. But that does not mean that I’ll unreasonably make up negatives (like the USA not being strong while being the strongest nation).
There are enough factual things to dislike the USA about, no need to make stuff up on top of that.
