Please explain to me how internet commentary is comparable to invading, conquering, and exploiting a foreign country for economic gain.

I am sorry I didn't word it well enough for you. Maybe I used the wrong word but I couldn't think of a better one. I meant it like another piece of it. A symptom. Aspect. It's something that reminds me of that, that greedy pushing and grabbing and making everything theirs because they're so empty and never satisfied. It seems like some other anons understand what I meant.

DA

Probably because it's not just commentary. It's a mentality and insistence that everything outside of America is America and that it needs to be.

I immigrated to America when I was a kid, and there's this mentality here that everything outside of America is some sort of dictatorship or middle ages style monarchy, America is the only country that offers freedom to anyone and everyone needs to either do things the American way under American supervision while doing everything they can to help America at all times, or accept that they're evil and potential enemy of America.

This is so ingrained in society no one even realizes it's there. And for the most part, it is subtle, but it is there. It's really obvious if you didn't come to this country by choice.

This internet commentary is an off shoot of that mentality -that every one else on the planet is just an extension of America and needs to be. Just because no ones invading and annexing other countries physically doesn't mean that there's not a mental and emotional attempt to do so.

this. americans think they've got it so good when really they're the ones living in a dystopian, backwards society.

Eh, I've seen people complain about Americans by suggesting that they have it too good, they're spoiled, etc.
