The word imperialism is derived from the Latin word imperium,[8] which means ‘to command’, ‘to be sovereign’, or ‘to rule’.[9] It was coined in the 19th century to describe Napoleon III’s attempts to gain political support by invasion.[10][11] The term was applied to the British Empire during the 1870s; by the 1880s it had acquired a positive connotation in the West.[12] By the end of the 19th century, the term was used to describe the behavior of empires at all times and places.[13] Hannah Arendt and Joseph Schumpeter defined imperialism as expansion for the sake of expansion.[14]

Hobson, and in 1917, Lenin, attempted to redefine imperialism as the “highest stage of capitalism”, as firms exported capital to dominate economically rather than territorially.[15]

My mom didn’t start to learn how to cook till she was in her 40s and that was like a hobby.

Lol, that was perhaps the least controversial thing I’ve ever posted that got removed by a mod.

I read a study that showed that behavior varies by sex. Women are more likely to exclude an individual from a group while men are more likely to accept almost anyone into the group but just force the ones they view as undesirable to the bottom of the social hierarchy

In that case, is it even a border if people aren’t frequently peeing all along it?

That is one literal definition of natural, yes.

Liberal politicians have no interest in meaningfully opposing conservatives and liberal people either fail to accept that as being true or worse allow themselves to buy into all kinds of bullshit beliefs being spread by said politicians because of tribalism. But you’re basically correct that there is a gap between Democrats and the people who vote for them.d

MSG is wonderful, no doubt, but the original recipe got a huge chunk of it’s flavor from sour cream which was the main ingredient. Nowadays it’s a mix of mayo and buttermilk instead of sour cream and doesn’t taste the same.

I doubt that is specifically bots. The Left have been arguing with each other & liberals forever and Liberals are a popular target of criticism in the US because they’re supposed to be opposing conservatives and they’re not doing that.
