Its a map with red spots. I didn't know we controlled the UK or Australia? You are really stretching the idea of imperialism or colonialism to include where the US has bases. Ironically counter to your statement the map has very little of south america in red. Also or a another point of humor your map doesn't include Liberia. A country the US took over and dumped as many former slaves as they could there. One of main proponents of this action was Abraham Lincoln. Who preferred shipping former slaves back there rather than they remain in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberia
Truth is the UK is responsible for more independence days around the world than any other nation. There is a meme about it

I don't get what your point is. Your comment is primarily disjointed, rambling criticism. Are you just doing the ol' Reddit "I have nothing useful or interesting to add to this conversation, so I'm just going to criticize some comments so I can feel better about myself"?
I'm curious, what parts of thier comment confuses you?
Their reply was cogent, interesting, informative and importantly, correct.
