Muchos usuarios señalan que el colonialismo no es un mero evento pasado, sino una base sobre la cual se construyó Estados Unidos, influyendo en sus sistemas y valores actuales.
- Colonialism is in the dna of the usa. The current state of affairs is just the most aggressive, clumsy and ham-fisted manifestation of america's colonial/imperial tendencies we've ever seen in history.
- Today’s america began with colonialism. It is what it is. Until they choose to change it.
- From it's inception, america was founded on colonialism and genocide. This is the facade crumbling.
2. El Colonialismo como Práctica Actual y No Solo Historia.
Se argumenta que el colonialismo no es solo un tema del pasado, sino que continúa activo en el presente a través de diversas formas, incluyendo la política exterior y la influencia cultural.
- This is colonialism, active and alive today in the 21st century. And yet most americans have no idea we’re doing this to people in territories we “own”.
- Colonialism must end and america in particular needs to update its views on what colonialism is. 750 military sites around the world, funding genocide, misinformation, media attacks and lobbying are the current methods of colonialism. Stop equating colonialism with history.
- This is active colonialism. Our government is just continuing manifest destiny for the richest white men who are trying to take over the world and keep its citizens slaves to their companies.
3. Colonialismo, Supremacía Blanca y Excepcionalismo Americano.

- American colonialism is some ugly a**, white supremacist, isolationist, democracy-ending trash.
- Colonialism masquerading as american exceptionalism has been a problem for a long time. It’s just that now they’re treating the whole country as if it were a colony.
- White supremacy and colonialism and imperialism are real problems that we usians have allowed to continue and the denial of that is irresponsible and distasteful.
- American exceptionalism is a genocidal excuse for colonialism. Now american exceptionalism is the export of hate, greed and treason…….

Muchos usuarios critican la falta de conciencia o la negación del colonialismo por parte de los estadounidenses, argumentando que esto impide una comprensión completa de la historia y la realidad actual del país.
- The fact that americans can't agree with "colonialism is bad, actually" is telling.
- This is active colonialism. Our government is just continuing manifest destiny for the richest white men who are trying to take over the world and keep its citizens slaves to their companies.
- Refusing to see harm caused by american institutions does seem to be it's own colonialism.
5. El Colonialismo Estadounidense en el Contexto Global.
Algunos comentarios sitúan el colonialismo estadounidense dentro de un contexto global más amplio, comparándolo con el colonialismo europeo y señalando que muchos países han sido moldeados por esta historia.
- Dude, there isn't a country on the planet for the last several centuries that hasn't been shaped by colonialism. The us started as a british colony. The british were colonized by the romans. Just about every *single* country today is some carve out of an empire. If it wasn't conceived as such,.
- But everything wrong with the us is the legacy of european colonialism. We bow to the masters of callous money grubbing exploitation.
- Colonialism isnt just american, but america has been one of the main socio economic superpowers for the past 80 years. A lot of the colonialism in that time has happened at the hands of the us government. America didn’t create colonialism, but nurtured and developed it to what it is today.
