      Yeah man it’s wrecking to say that “The average American is a colonial subject” is a silly statement, my bad.

      Edit: I just don’t find your argument of “Actually the thing that was said isn’t what was said, and if you take my totally made up version of the thing that was said and interpret it using a heuristic that wasn’t applied then actually it means something else. Also btw imperialism isn’t about capital relations but about whether there’s a functional welfare system. You’re such a wrecker for not getting that” very convincing.

        There it is again, that obtuseness, that brain-dead caricaturization, 3 month old account huh?

        What, did you think coming in here spouting half-baked simulacra of anti-Americanism while mentioning (not quoting) Settlers was gonna be decent camouflage to troll the lefties? Nice try

              Sure man I’m a troll-wrecker-redditor-infiltrator trying to bring down hexbear from within, I’ve set up my 3 month long sting operation and I’m ready to strike with my master plan of pointing out that I don’t think the average American is an exploited colonial subject of Belgian overlords.

                American isn’t an exploited colonial subject of belgian overlords

                It’s been explained to you multiple times that wasn’t the original commenters point, and yet you keep responding with escalating caricatures and bad faith interpretations of other Hexbear’s arguments

                You’re a troll or you’re a dumbass who can’t read or infer, but I’m putting my money on troll

                  Whereas I am just sure you’re a dumbass who can’t take being disagreed with. And of course unlike your silly bullshit, I have evidence in the form of the things you have actually said.

                    Btw this is what I mean when I say that the United States barely counts as part of the imperial core

                    Western Europe is the imperial core. The average Western European materially benefits from the spoils of imperialism and lives a high quality life because of it. The average American is an exploited colonial subject.

                    The United States is still a colony, the European Empires just consolidated and moved their headquarters to the colony

                    lmao you don’t know how to infer, in the first sentence they’re talking about Internal Colonialism Theory and the history of US settler colonialism in general; in the second they’re talking about US ELITES and their settler heritage, what exactly do you think words like “consolidated" and "moved their headquarters” is referring to? Davos? Could it possibly be a fuckin reference to US colonial history?

                    What did you say in an earlier comment, you think they’re talking about “Belgians” you dumb fuck lmao? About European citizens controlling America? Like another commenter told you “BE FOR REAL”, that’s why you’re obtuse and most likely a troll…definitely a wrecker

                    Also you didn’t know anything about Internal Colonialism Theory, or it’s relationship to Settlers, and you didn’t comment when I corrected you on it

                    You had nothing to say about Differential Segregation theory, so obviously you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, so kick rocks troll, I gave you a half dozen good faith replies and all I got back was “baaah you think Belgians rule America ha ha
