  • Imperialism is what keeps the global north from aligning with the interests of the global south, and is what keeps the global south underdeveloped and overexploited. Your arguments about imperialism not being impactful in the modern day are hollow, considering its the driving force behind every major war and geopolitical issue, it’s the primary contradiction. An argument against nations on moral grounds, without questioning why and how they form, doesn’t actually explain how we end them.


















  • It isn’t objectively bad messaging. The millitary budget is through the roof while social services are gutted. War in Venezuela and the genocide in Palestine are very unpopular. The faith in a system dominated by late-stage imperialism is declining, and correct identification of rising cost of living with stagnant wages makes sense when connected to the US Empire’s decay. Shifting from an imperialist economy to one where humanity is the master of capital, win-win cooperation is the basis of international diplomacy and trade, and a brighter future based on common humanity is deeply appealing to the average Statesian. Maybe not 40 years ago, but conditions are rapidly changing.
