If it doesn't come from the regions of the Western Imperialist Pigs then it's not real imperialism. It's sparkling annexation.

No, no, no - it's no annexaion, it's freeing people (as I got from some tankie about China's occupation of Tibet).

Mind you, all Imperialists (no matter from which region) tend to claim they're freeing the people they're attacking - America and its allies are constantly "freeing" people in the Middle East from some autoritarian or other all the while leaving behind 10x - 100x more dead than the dictator ever killed, Russia claimed to be invading to free Ukranians from Nazism.

Even the Genociders claim they're somehow freeing people: notice Israel's talk about how the Palestineans treat homosexuals badly, all the while they were indiscriminatelly mass murdering people in Gaza, including said homosexuals.
