Israeli and Zionist influence in the USA is a purposeful choice of the American government. It allows the American government to circumvent many domestic and international laws by allowing Israeli firms to do the spying and dirty work for them. Israel is essentially a rogue state that is entirely controlled by the American intelligence apparatus (and therefore, American capital). This has created a feedback loop of constantly reinforcing settler colonialism and American economic extraction of the Middle East. If America withdrew support to Israel, this feedback loop would cease and Israel would be greatly diminished or completely collapse.

Saying Israel controls America is simply wrong, stop saying this. I will remove your post. ✌️

The era of colonization has ended though.

This is literally the ACP reactionary line.

How? Do you think any country will be able to invade another country and settle their own citizens after enslaving or genociding the original inhabitants? Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't happen anymore. It's much easier to have plausible deniability on the world stage if your colony is not a direct extension of your own citizens.

Apparently the Xinhua Institute's Colonization of the Mind was actually the ACP's tricknology infecting China.

In the wake of WWII, national liberation movements swept across the globe, numerous independent nation-states sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain, the global colonial system established by European powers crumbled, and the world entered the post-colonial era. As the new global hegemon, the United States discovered that, faced with numerous "awakened" nationalist nation-states, relying solely on "hard power" in the forms of political domination, economic control, military deterrence, among others, could not establish or sustain a lasting and extensive colonial rule; instead, employing "soft power" such as culture and values would enable it to reap higher colonial rewards at lower costs.
