Re your concerns about US global domination

Come on now, enough with the hyperbole. The US has been a superpower for 60 years, the beginning of which was marked with rebuilding Europe and Japan insead of enjoying the spoils of war, then turned to creating international organizations like NATO and the UN as a response to Soviet expansion, and then worked to clean up hotspots like Yugoslavia, Kuwait, and Bosnia.

I can't say I approve every US action in that span of time (particularly in South America and Southeast Asia), but the basis of comparison is the Europeans. This is a group of people who, when they had the power to, raped and pillaged the rest of the planet for 500 years, before just about destroying themselves in two wars. Now suddenly they're the moral compass for the rest of the planet?

Go reread that posted definition. Your post completely ignores it. The provided definition clearly does not apply to the way France rules France, the US rules the US, or the way Germany rules Germany. No, the people in those governments did not evolve from apes in those places. They are not the first form of government that those places knew. Still doesn't fit the definition of colonialism.

| it is fairly applied to every nation who rules over people and place's that they have not ruled over since the first system of social coordination arose in that place

That's plain bullshit.
