    You're honest and that's a rare thing these days.

    Still haven't given me a good explanation on why we aren't an empire except for "Merriam-Webster told me so."

    Don't bother.

    Not have you given me an explanation as to why the United States is an empire.

    A student of history knows the talk of “American Imperialism” began when academics decided their language could be used as a tool to sway policy and demonize those which they disagree.

    You seem to be caught in their trap. That is much like the academics’ use of the term “racism”.

    For a balanced perspective on America being an empire vs using imperialist tactics from time to time, read King.

    You seem to gloss right over the part of the definition where it talks about one Supreme Authority. That is the USA. When you advance the Monroe Doctrine, when you REPEATEDLY invade nations to overthrow duly elected leaders and install others....That defacto makes you Supreme over them.

    You’re yet another victim, I see.

    Hasn't hurt me at all. In fact, such policies have certainly benefitted me and I won't apologize for them. I'm just intellectually honest about the arrangement and can see through the Red, White and Blue haze that clearly clouds your thinking.

    Clearly, you’ve subscribed to those academics attempt to influence policy. There are dozens and dozens of books and papers published on the topic. But one thing is clear, to the layman empire=bad and imperialism=bad. Those trying to bend reality to fit the US into such a box are not doing so for altruistic reasons.
