@jesu @caekislove there are a lot of theories of morality.

but completely subjugating another populace is a pretty common way to keep the bread and circus going. though proper imperialism requires some of those spoils go to the subjects.

the problem with america is its a big helping of imperialist welfare for a group of elites and then its just sort of sacked on to a population of survive at all costs on your own while we try to loot you too.
