The geopolitical agenda of the USA is to support dictatorships that provide security and access to their companies to do resource extraction without resistance from local populations.
Instead of doing full colonialism like the British Empire did, USA does colonialism by proxy government; Independent in a legal sense, but not independent in a financial and military sense.
I propose we call this Neoliberal Neocolonialism.

@mattwebbdev well I think we can agree US liberalism is built on colonialism and if I may expand upon the connection neocolonialism is a means of obscuring the master-slave dynamic and likewise (human-centric plant based diet activism)(a bit verbose)? obscures the abuse of non-humans by removing them from the conversations around their own liberation that they can't participate in themselves and sidelining important aspects of their exploitation (such as in entertainment, vivisection, fashion, manufacturing):
• A "health" vegan might revert to eating fish (the largest category of non-human kills) the moment they are convinced it isn't unhealthy
• An "environmental" vegan might still use leather products and such because its durable compostable and to not use byproducts of slaughter would just be a waste of resources and emissions
And just like liberals will excuse colonialism in return for liberal domestic policy they will excuse non-human animal abuse that doesn't affect them (unless of course its one of the pre-approved causes for species favoured by a speciesist society)

Check out this thread by Venezuelanalysis (20+ years of independent, on-the-ground news and analysis on Venezuela):
Finally the official reaction from Vzlan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who hailed an "historic agreement" that is set to condemn Venezuela to 100 years of neocolonial domination. The statements are now bilingual so it's more practical for US officials and corporate vultures.
Rodríguez expressed her "deepest gratitude" to Trump, Rubio and the US govt for developing this deal, which she called a "historic milestone" in US-Venezuela relations. Confirmed that 17 "strategic oilfields" holding 65 billion barrels of reserves are now at the service of US interests. We're talking about more than 20% of the country's reserves.

Haiti. The Original Sin of Freedom: Resistance Against Neocolonial Vampirism
There is a red thread – of blood, fire and dignity – that unites the axe of the maroons in Our America with the anti-imperialism of the 21st century. This thread was born on the night of August 13 to 14, 1791 in the Bois Caïman clearing. There, under the spiritual and political guidance of voodoo priest Dutty Boukman and mambo Cécile Fatiman, hundreds of enslaved people broke the chain of colonial alienation. The Bois Caïman ceremony was not a mere folkloric rite, but a real clandestine political-military congress: the sovereign response of the oppressed to the “benevolent” universalism of the French Revolution. An enlightened bourgeoisie proclaiming “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” in Paris, while accumulating mercantilist Capital through sweat, torture and death in the sugar cane and coffee fields of Saint-Domingue.
With the tactical genius of Toussaint Louverture and the inflexible determination of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Haitian Revolution consecrated in 1804 the birth of the first black and free Republic on the planet. It was not a concession: it was a victory won on the ground, consecutively defeating three empires (Spanish, British and French). As Louverture recalled before being deported, the Tree of Liberty cut down at the trunk would take on deep roots. Haiti became the cradle of continental marronage and the logistical-military beacon without which Simón Bolívar’s feat would never have seen the light. But the capitalist mode of production does not forgive those who reveal its racist and coercive roots. Haiti’s “original sin” was having demonstrated that the enslaved were not merchandise, but rather historical subjects of liberation.
Original extortion and the continuity of European dispossession
The punishment inflicted on Haiti represents the birth of modern odious debt as an instrument of original accumulation and systemic subordination. In 1825, under direct threat from warships, Charles X’s France imposed an “indemnity” of 150 million francs on Haiti to compensate former slave owners for the loss of their “property.” To pay off this blackmail, the young Republic was forced to contract usurious loans with French banks (the so-called Double Dette).
This financial drain, which lasted more than a century, transferred billions of real dollars from the coffers of Port-au-Prince to the assets of European oligarchies, decapitating at their source any possibility of public infrastructure, food sovereignty or autonomous industrial development. France and the powers of the European Union have never paid historic reparations for this financial crime; On the contrary, they have converted the old open colonialism into a sophisticated neocolonial device.
Contemporary plundering: the role of the Paris-Brussels-Washington axis
Today the plundering of Haiti does not occur only through the occupation troops, but through the symbiosis between US imperialism – articulated via Southern Command and CORE Group – and the diplomatic and economic interference of the European Union. Under the mask of “humanitarian aid” and externally-driven security missions, a true predatory economy is hidden that is articulated at multiple predatory levels.
Huge virgin deposits of gold, copper and bauxite are concentrated in the north of Haiti, with an estimated value of tens of billions of dollars. Canadian and European multinationals have been operating for years to secure extractive concessions in complicity with local puppet governments, guaranteeing access to ridiculous extraction costs and nullifying labor rights and environmental protection.
At the same time, the European Union and the US promote the creation of “export free zones” on the border with the Dominican Republic, such as the Caracol industrial park. In these complexes, the Haitian working class is subjected to pure subsistence wages and deprived of union rights, with the sole purpose of supplying the textile and manufacturing value chains destined for Western and European markets.
Added to this panorama is the trap of privatized welfare, in which hundreds of French and European NGOs de facto manage the administration of basic services instead of the Haitian State. This “aid industry” drains international funds that regularly return to their countries of origin in the form of salaries for foreign experts, further impoverishing the social fabric and privatizing public sovereignty.
The current political crisis: between armed gangs, imperialism and popular resistance
The dramatic contemporary political situation is the direct result of this design of permanent destabilization. The deliberate dismantling of the Haitian State by local oligarchies and their overseas protectors has produced an institutional vacuum covered by the externalization of terror towards armed bands and criminal groups (gangs). Far from being a spontaneous generation of violence, many of these paramilitary factions have historically been armed and used by factions of the comprador bourgeoisie and corrupt political sectors to disintegrate community organization, repress popular protests and empty working-class neighborhoods like Cité Soleil.
The constant flow of heavy caliber weapons continues uninterrupted, while the international community formally sanctions the country and then proposes sending foreign police forces as the only solution. The international interference missions, camouflaged as security aid, do not seek to give the Haitian people a voice, but rather to freeze the crisis to prevent the emergence of a true autonomous and sovereign constitutional process.
Haiti is not a “failed country,” as the racist and Eurocentric narrative of transnational capital stated; It is an occupied and dispossessed country because it was never forgiven for the example of 1804. The only way out for the Haitian people lies in the reappropriation of political sovereignty and in the articulation of its own popular, peasant and proletarian forces.
Internationalist solidarity in Europe and Latin America should not assume a pietistic form or the paternalism of NGOs, but rather that of militant denunciation of imperialist plunder. Rescue of historical reparations, end of the interference of the CORE Group and self-determination of the peoples: only in this way will the branches of the Tree of Freedom sprout again with the ancestral strength of Bois Caïman.

In these complexes, the Haitian working class is subjected to pure subsistence wages and deprived of union rights, with the sole purpose of supplying the textile and manufacturing value chains destined for Western and European markets.
Added to this panorama is the trap of privatized welfare, in which hundreds of French and European NGOs de facto manage the administration of basic services instead of the Haitian State. This “aid industry” drains international funds that regularly return to their countries of origin in the form of salaries for foreign experts, further impoverishing the social fabric and privatizing public sovereignty.
The current political crisis: between armed gangs, imperialism and popular resistance
The dramatic contemporary political situation is the direct result of this design of permanent destabilization. The deliberate dismantling of the Haitian State by local oligarchies and their overseas protectors has produced an institutional vacuum covered by the externalization of terror towards armed bands and criminal groups (gangs). Far from being a spontaneous generation of violence, many of these paramilitary factions have historically been armed and used by factions of the comprador bourgeoisie and corrupt political sectors to disintegrate community organization, repress popular protests and empty working-class neighborhoods like Cité Soleil.
The constant flow of heavy caliber weapons continues uninterrupted, while the international community formally sanctions the country and then proposes sending foreign police forces as the only solution. The international interference missions, camouflaged as security aid, do not seek to give the Haitian people a voice, but rather to freeze the crisis to prevent the emergence of a true autonomous and sovereign constitutional process.
Haiti is not a “failed country,” as the racist and Eurocentric narrative of transnational capital stated; It is an occupied and dispossessed country because it was never forgiven for the example of 1804. The only way out for the Haitian people lies in the reappropriation of political sovereignty and in the articulation of its own popular, peasant and proletarian forces.
Internationalist solidarity in Europe and Latin America should not assume a pietistic form or the paternalism of NGOs, but rather that of militant denunciation of imperialist plunder. Rescue of historical reparations, end of the interference of the CORE Group and self-determination of the peoples: only in this way will the branches of the Tree of Freedom sprout again with the ancestral strength of Bois Caïman.

🆘 🇨🇴 Colombia is currently suffering not only the devastation of a major earthquake—with people racing against time to pull their loved ones alive from the rubble—but its precious forests are also being deliberately ravaged by arson. Individuals have already been caught setting fire to wooded areas. The entire country is burning. To make matters worse, Abelardo de La Espriella—widely regarded by Colombians as an illegitimate president—has ordered U.S.-backed airstrikes that have killed countless innocent farmers in the Catatumbo region. Meanwhile, in Salento, one of the country's most iconic tourist destinations and home to the world's tallest wax palms, Israeli "aid teams" have arrived. We already know where that leads—it is a classic neocolonial tactic, a pattern we are also witnessing in Argentina. International assistance from other nations is urgently needed.
The situation is critical. Please share.

“…using judgements from First Nations community annotators to identify anti-First Nations hate. This matters because deciding what counts as racism cannot be separated from the experiences of the people being targeted.”
Indeed. So obvious, yet regularly ignored.
