Please explain how you can be both against the people who are against colonialism an empire, but also against the entities engaging in colonialism another empire.

It's called consistency.

    The US empire has over 700+ military bases outside its borders, and has waged wars and coups in nearly every country on the planet.

    All other countries combined, have a total of <20 foreign bases.

    okay so one empire is bigger than the others, does that make all the other empires suddenly not count? everyone is automatically good if they aren't the US? sounds like quite an infantile position to hold.

    calling the empire with over 700 bases all over the world, with active support for "Israel" and their genocide and who bombed Iran that killed 150~ school girls and kidnapped a democratically elected leader from Venezuela just "bigger than the other empires" as implying the other countries to be the same when it's obvious that they are not only NOT empires, because words can mean things and not based on some childish vibes, but that they are ones actively under siege by the Amerikan empire.

    If you see someone viciously assaulting someone. Where the assaulting person has a known history of unprovoked violence, and you assume that both are bad. Then you are siding with the assaulter. You are siding the empire. You are not neutral, there is no neutrality.
