How about Western , chinese amd russian imperialism is bad?
Well, let's see. Western imperialism is an unbroken phenomenon of the last 600 years that, at its height, dominated 80% of the world's population and today kills about 800k people in the developing world through trade sanctions alone. Since the fall of the USSR, the USA has made serious attacks on 14 countries, not including Venezuela and Cuba. Russia has attacked 3. China has attacked 0. China hasn't dropped a bomb in conflict or fired upon an ocean vessel in almost 40 years.
So, sure. All imperialism is bad. But Western imperialism is the imperialism that needs to be resisted because it actually exists.
"China attacked 0"
Vietnam, korea, cambodia, india, mongolia (kinda), tibet, uygurs...
Also not easiest to attack others when you can rather attack your own people :)
Also...did you just leave out the ming, quing and yuan dynasies and once before for show of "no chinese imperialism"?
Edit 2: nvm .ml did not notice that. No wonder why you left it out ;)
All imperialism need to be resisted and you start with the worse which is the western imperialism. We just have a minor disagrement
Putin literally talk like the Zionists talking about how Ukraine is an fake state and that they are all Russians. The difference is Russia want Ukraine russification and Israel claim Palestinians are just Arab invaders so they want to genocide them.
China claims over Taiwan is imperialistic too.
Only 10% of taiwanese want reunification . China is using economical cohersion to try to shift opinions and force reunification. That's imprerialism. Only taiwanese should decide via a referendum.
