What county had zero history of that?
“Maybe one of the smaller countries… like the Vatican! … Wait.”
Is this meme aimed at everyone? Doesn't feel like it lmao.
I think you can buy bananas in Luxembourg or Bhutan

I think Bhutan is good
Fair enough, 1 for 2 isn't bad odds. Point still stands
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.
