What’s wrong with anti-imperialism?

The problem I have is with the hypocrisy. Right here on Quora there are a ton of self-described anti-imperialists that absolutely despise America for being “imperialist” but continue to fellate Russia and China as these beacons of virtue.

Nothing, when done right.

A proper anti-imperialist is critical of ALL countries with imperial ambitions.

There’s one Indian Quoran in particular who has about 15 million answer views a month and his entire spiel is sucking up to China, how wonderful and perfect it is, how amazing it. He’s also very much pro-Russia, when Russia is a classical imperialist country in almost every definition you can think of. There are many such authors, here. Many of the young commenters will say America is “bullying” Cuba or North Korea with sanctions but say nothing of China bullying neighboring countries in the South China sea…

Anti-imperialism is great when you call out ALL bad actors equally. America bad? Sure. But China bad, too. Russia bad. Iran bad. Be fair, be reasonable and analyze your own blind spots. Otherwise you’re not much of an anti-imperialist — you’re merely a willing propaganda mouthpiece for the other side.
