    It’s more that Americans were spared the worst of the effects of imperialism exploitation because imperialism needs a stable base of operations. If conditions were as bad in the US as they are in other parts of the world there would be revolts and the whole system would collapse.

      The Imperial Boomerang is coming back on the country now, what we support overseas gets adopted by our own lawmakers and done at home. No one should celebrate it, it’s the same ones behind doing those things overseas doing it here, to gain more power to do the same things to those other countries with even less restraint, as much as malign forces would have us celebrate hurting people because their government is bad.
