OK, that's a new one to me. Know that when you use the word in most contexts that's not what people think you mean by it!

Well, most people have been miseducated on politics and the economy in the United States.

Sure mate, "everyone's wrong but you"

Most people in the imperial core are miseducated in politics, that is not "everyone", that is a small minority of people.

Is that your normal reaction when people bring up imperialism during a political conversation?

Just a term I've never heard of which definitely implies some particular views. Anyway, I'm not here to sling shit, I would actually like to know what your views are so feel free to give me the quick pitch. Don't expect to convert me, but I don't want to just dismiss what you're saying just because it sounds a bit mad without context.
