[@nickmalachai2227]

Not just historical colonialism but modern US economics/diplomacy as well. US corporations own land in other countries and harvests their resources but contribute far less to their economy than they do to the US, and US diplomatic and military efforts go towards preserving those interests (see the CIA's intentional and self-admitted destabilization of the middle east to prevent countries from nationalizing their deposits of oil, and the very long history of US and western European countries instigating infighting and coups within African nations to extract more resources cheaply to be processed for US benefit (notably manipulating the Congo to get better deals on rare earth minerals mined in hellish conditions to be processed into computer parts). It's a brutally effective lie that's been sold for generations at the heart of any empire, including this generation, at the heart of this empire.
