No, I was absolutely using the word correctly.
Colonialist: adjective
characteristic of or involving the practice of gaining political control over other countries and occupying them with settlers.
No wonder you were so keen on trotting out the sad trombone noises. You must be sick of hearing them at your expense. You naturally wanted to try them out on someone else. Sad, then, that you chose to try it at that particular moment.
Incidentally, what definition do you use? You're obviously confusing it with something else. This is a learning opportunity for you to correctly distinguish between two, yes, TWO... words you are using incorrectly.
Besides which, the fact you missed the point of my initial comment is proving the point I was making. American's aren't interested in anything outside America, unless and until it affects them, their oil prices, or some other facet of their incestuous lives. Either personally, or as a nation.
So, yeah... way to go.

Doesn't apply. Sorry. You have been well indoctrinated comrade.

So, you aren't interested in the proper use of words?
Odd... I expected you to just be wrong. It seems you've just proved you are wrong AND are being wilfully ignorant.
Unless you can show me why my definition of the word doesn't apply in this case, your assertion that I am using the word incorrectly is not proven. Thus the default position is that I am right.
Listen... I'm open to the possibility of me being wrong if it can be proven I'm wrong. The only caveat is that it needs someone who can argue the point logically and with reason. Unfortunately for you, your argument consists of wiping your ass with your hand then licking your hand clean afterwards.
Do you have an argument based in fact?

Not worth my time. You have no interest in facts - you're interest is conformation bias.

Yeah, sadly, some Americans are like that. Wait till you meet some of the "patriotic" ones in person. You'll have a hard time not laughing in their faces during a casual conversation.

And how does that applies to what USA is doing? I never saw any settlers sent to ME.
