If they're looking at a map and thinking 'wouldn't it be cool if leik this was all one colour hmm lets see if we can make it happen by either force of arms of by out ****ing the people who also live there but are different' then they're being imperialist.

If the people who live in a particular geographic region want to be part of or under the sovereign control of another country id have no problem with it, if on the other hand they're doing it based purely on 'the map doesn't look right' they're being imperialist.


I wouldn't have a problem with NI joining the republic, but not on grounds of a 'united ireland'
