I feel like the world is about to find out how long an empire can go when it does the wrong thing 100% of the time and is run entirely by total idiots.
The thing is, I’m not sure it is run by idiots considering how good they are at propaganda, and I don’t know if that’s more frightening than them actually being stupid
I am reasonably confident that Amerika hasn’t fixed much for a very long time
My slight hope is that as Amerika becomes less and less economically powerful, its current allies will become more integrated with China and its allies by necessity
There are some like Mitch McConnell that I feel are actually not total idiots and just pure evil, but many are totally idiotic.
I think much of the ruling class has now bought into their own bullshit. Add in the reverse-meritocracy created by multi-generational wealth and here we are.
I was mainly thinking about the massive corporations (e.g. Raytheon) who seem to actually make the major decisions, but there’s definitely a fair amount of idiots among the politicians
Yeah, considering the massive geopolitical changes occurring now, Amerika will probably try something (e.g. increase tension w.r.t. Taiwan) sooner rather than later
Bold of them to assume that Amerika will have any chance by 2027

they’re too busy making everyone believe its fine that they don’t fix any problems
