Aliantha, I know enough to know that empires are obsolete. I find the use of "imperial" in this context to be intellectually dishonest and altogether straining the definition of the word.

What I am doing is contending that the "imperial"-users are bullshitting, and bullshitting in a manner over-reminiscent of the Soviet Union and Red China, both of whom threw the term around in the usual lying totalitarian way.
