This is just laughable. If there is a context in which the American state has functioned as a truly imperial power, other than militarily, it is in its role as the managerial body for global capitalism; to maintain, protect, expand and consolidate the accumulation of capital globally. That is the opposite of "labour rights" and "environmental protection". It has even set the stage for the world's sixth mass extinction event, threatening the majority of the world's species, including our own. Such benevolence. The US have also provided the world with the real and present threat of nuclear holocaust, and the escalation of indiscriminate terror bombing campaigns, which have slaughtered millions and devastated a good part of the world. And it goes without saying that the sentence "the British Empire was relatively benign" is a sentence that can only be uttered by a western or westernized individual.
