Yeah, they have a very alternative interpretation of geopolitics and they're loud about it. If there was a flat earth instance with users that spammed every physics thread there would be some grumbling just the same.
Cool story. You're right, it's not an exact science, so why are you so sure about your perspective on it either? I think the answer is "identity".
As for my reading list, I've probably gotten further into Das Capital than you have, and it belongs on the side of electrification that it was written on.

Yeah, I do. Usually when an "anti-imperialist" tells you to read more, that's what they mean. What are you thinking of, then, Settlers?
Actually, do read Settlers, it'll help you unfuck your colonizer mentality
