And what exactly is the difference between Western imperialism and other kinds of imperialism?

One is an actual problem for the world and the other exists as a hypothetical?

I know your question is rhetorical, because you always, always cape for the imperial core, but: Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism “Western” is inaccurate. The fascist Japanese empire was a monopoly-stage capitalist empire much like the others, and Japan is still a junior partner today’s neocolonialism, but it’s never been “Western.” This isn’t about cultures or genetics or location on the map, but about ownership of the means of production, international power dynamics, and sovereignty. It’s about imperialism vs anti-imperialism. Star Wars Was A Vietnam War Allegory

“And what exactly” makes you sound offended.
