    For sure. I’d say Bhutan doesn’t fit the meme though, as Bhutan is part of the global south, and might even grow bananas themselves? I dunno about that

      Either way, the meme doesn’t know what imperialism means. The US govt over threw quite a few governments and handed it over to corporations. Thats not imperialism.

        Can you elaborate? I’m curious to know why a country overthrowing another government in order to secure it’s own economic interests in the region doesn’t meet your definition of imperialism.
