      I think anyone saying “behave under the rules I set or I kill you” is an authoritarian.

      I’ll wait while you invent reasons why this definition only fits the USA and not Russian or China.

      That moment when you pretend to fight against imperialism - by implicitly supporting imperialists in the PRC.

          China is imperialist to a degree, but they’re certainly not invading countries all over the place like the US. People here like to claim that bringing up the US is whataboutism even though the US is the prime example of imperialism currently and the US likes to preemptively point at China and Russia to distract from their own actions.

          First of all, not American.

          Second of all, nine-dash line and neo-colonialism in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe says very differently. As does the Han supremacism that Xi surrepitously perpetuates.
