    No it’s not. He sets the scope as “all capitalist nations that have not been imperialised”, which is logical. How can an imperialised country be imperialist towards another?

    You are trying to include them in your argument.

    I’m not validating their claim, I’m debunking the shifting goalpost argument. They since the beginning of the argument points out that the trend happens in all developed capitalist nations minus the ones that suffers from imperialism.

    It’s a trend observable in all capitalist nations. If you develop enough, the rate of profit falls, and so you need to expand outward to profit. This is the basis of imperialism, the carving out of the global south for profit. Across the west, this is a fact, even if it manifests in different ways.

    Those on the imperialized end cannot themselves really become imperialist, and the total capital to be imperialized is limited

    What is the point of Leta?

    Leta aims to present a reliable and trustworthy way of searching privately on the internet.

    However, Leta is useless as a service if you use the perfect non-logging VPN, a privacy focussed DNS service, a web browser that resists fingerprinting, and correlation attacks from global actors. Leta is also useless if your browser blocks all cookies, tracking pixels and other tracking technologies.

    For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.

    If you use their VPN and their browser or any firefox properly configured there is no reason to use Leta.
