    Lmao is that why the US’s entire existence is built on invasions, coups, sanctions and genocides in countries on completely different continents for not being subservient to its capitalist government?

        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.
