    Yeah, we will see something new.

    We’ll see the US lose, and then continue to turn imperialist repression inward. Iran is going to win, Russia is going to win, China is going to win, and there’s nothing the US can do about it. Fewer and fewer people around the world will use US tech, so the repression will crank up on the people who keep using it. Eventually that’s just going to be the US and its closest allies.

      I get the hate for the US. I just find it strange how you think a hegemon going from bad to worse is good for anyone.

      I’m also calling on bad faith arguments for denouncing American imperialism yet cheering for Russian imperialism. Hypocrisy isn’t a strong argument.

      Also, it’s closest “allies” is a very loaded term today. No one trusts a rogue hegemon.

        I never made any value claims about anything being “good” or “bad” actually. I’m merely telling you the trajectory of history.
