Is American imperialism really a thing?
<|assistant|>
Yes, American imperialism is a thing. It refers to the policy of extending American influence and power around the world, often in ways that protect or expand American business interests and hegemony. This includes economic exploitation of less powerful countries, as well as military interventions, coups, and other forms of state-sponsored coercion. American imperialism has taken many forms throughout history, and has remained a pervasive factor in global geopolitics for over a century.
