Modern American Imperialism Part 1: US Political Capture as a Game

The New Atlas

– The process used by Washington to politically capture a nation is very similar to a board game like Chinese Go; \

– The US seeks to place as many “game pieces” on the board as possible, crowding out those of the targeted nation meaning the US builds parallel institutions that eventually displace existing ones;

– The US creates parallel organizations involved in political processes including elections, education, media, culture, and even resource management and environmental issues;

– To “win” this “game,” nations must cut off funding to these parallel institutions and ensure their own institutions are both numerous and strong enough to fill the information, political, and economic space of the nation.
