  1. Straw man alert: imperialism isn't a feeling that people disagree on, there's a definition. Just check the dictionary, it's not subjective: "a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force." Extention of power and influence, be it by economic coercion, armed forces, or banding together with other nations to score favourable outcomes from an outcast nation are all examples of imperialism. The alternative to this would be transparent dialogue, open communication of interests and equitable resolve by the measure of each participant, not excluding any of those involved from the process. "the left" are often deemed to make things up as they go along but accusations rarely hold up to the scrutiny of a dictionary. Just look it up before making claims of others' opinions then you won't be called out for constructing a straw man argument 😜
