Wealth, success, and technological advancement are all imperialist.
And that’s good when a predominantly white western-aligned nation is doing it, because imperialism brings Liberty, Whiskey, AND Sexy. But it is extremely bad when a predominantly East Asian, Middle Eastern, African, or American Native nation is doing it, because… well… let me just bust out a copy of Rudyard Kipling’s “White Man’s Burden” to explain… just give me a moment…
But you can’t just be outside the NATO block and do free trade. That’s going to give people the impression that the US/EU metropoles aren’t the center of the financial universe. Also, it makes sanctioning countries into insolvency and starving the populations by embargoing their agricultural trade damned near impossible.
If you’re doing trade in a way that inhibits US control over the globe, it’s super imperialist and must be stopped at all costs.
