Some people would say it was justified and others would say it wasn't, but Kōtoku Shūsui, a Socialist leader in Japan, vividly described in 1901 Imperialism's serious drawbacks (Iriye 1972, 75):

"Imperialists in Japan and elsewhere are like drunken men, intoxicated by patriotism and militarism, which are nothing but expressions of their animal instincts. They bleed people white with taxes, expand armaments, divert productive capital for unproductive ends, cause prices to rise, and invite excessive imports. These are all for the sake of the state. Government, education, commerce, and industry are sacrificed to patriotism, which is the root of militarism and imperialism."
