      Europe profited from american imperialism for decades so please get of your high horse and do not pretend that your country is innocent.

        they didn’t accidentally fall into this gravy train, the same sort of imperial violence/coercion that the united states inflicts on the global south was also perpetrated on the western europeans; especially the italians.

        most don’t take note of it because the western euro gov’ts were in such a vulnerable state immediately after ww2 that they caved faster than the global south did.
