No, it is armchair wiki scholar talk ripped from the Romans like some freaking 40k fanboy.

It's not even a good comparison as an economic metaphor as in modern markets there is no geographical center

Just face it, you wanted to sound wise and it fell flat so now you're moving the goalposts. Fucking typical

Its actually just part of my vocabulary because I exist in spaces that use it often. Its integral to world systems theory. I never moved the goalpost, for me it was always an economic term. It seems we may have different definition of imperial core and imperial periphery. What does it mean in the Roman context? How are you understanding it?

Do you ever get tired of being so hollow? Of all the time you take to convince others that there's something going on inside? Everything you write is bullshit but it is an eager and desperate bullshit begging for acknowledgment and I am ashamed I fell for it.

Enjoy your block

I genuinely can't fathom how I made you that angry. I guess the username checks out but honestly it just makes me sad :/
