Are you saying the US isn’t a colonialist project?
Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.
Damn, guess the Indigenous peoples were so thoroughly eliminated you forgot about them.
Yeah it was more genocidal than colonial
It was literally founded on settler-colonialism. Just because this resulted in such a profound and extensive destruction of countless peoples that are nearly wiped out today doesn’t make it less colonial.
