  • Lol, no. That’s just a leftist thing, my man. Capitalism requires new markets to expand into, imperialism supplies that.

    Imperialism isn’t just owning colonies, it’s also suppression of competition in markets already established by the empire. That’s what the invading everyone with oil that we can in 2026 is all about. It’s not just about market expansion (though that certainly can, does, and likely will happen). It’s about market domination.

    And yes, imperialism is bad when it’s done by anyone, not just the west.

    I don’t think anyone’s thinking about NATO in this conversation.

    Yes. You think the average scientist wants to be wasting their time creating catch-all experiments in order to get published so they can secure more grants? Of course not, they want to follow their curiosity to answer big questions or fail to get the answers but answer other questions. This model wastes everyone’s time for extremely small gains. But it’s all about stakeholder’s investments.
