Like 95% of democratic countries are much more democratic than the US…

American empire has barely started toppling, this is gonna get a whole lot more fucky before “was” is an accurate label :(

I’m rooting for the Yellowstone supervolcano at this point.

I used to think he was a big dumb dumb. Then January 6th happened and I quickly realized he was a dangerous idiot and I haven’t been the same ever since.

I’ve been watching history repeat itself while I’ve been surrounded people who still act like Trump and his cult-like followers are still a bunch of silly dumb dumbs.

I’m too exhausted to have any words to say anymore.

It’s very much the “you’re locked in here with me” moment.

It’s been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn’t go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.

And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.

Personally, I don’t relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I’d rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being “arch villain from a cartoon” for my taste.

I’d really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately “be the change you want to see in the world” just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.

Republican America is not a loaded gun. It’s a deranged rabid coyote. It seems so obvious: don’t fight the rabid coyote. No one will win. But we’re trapped here with it. Its taking its bites out of everyone close to it, and everyone else. What the fuck else are we supposed to do? Lie down and take it? Stand on the table and try to keep away? No one is coming to save us. This will not go away. They will not surrender.

The only way out is through; for Americans to start their civil war to disrupt their regime or, if they can manage it, figure some other way to oust their fascist government and their cult. To all the Americans fighting the good fight, keep it up, the world literally needs you.

The Republicans have already proven the laws mean nothing. They’re already boasting plans to stay for a 3rd term. There’s no waiting this out.

So, bring it on, you fascist fucks, let’s fucking go.

This isn’t the deathbed though. We still have by far the most powerful military in the world, a huge foreign policy apparatus, and a large integrated economy. This is like if your asshole boss comes down with a mental illness and just starts going nuts. Sure, it’s bad for him and could be kind of good… but there’s a high chance you’re going down with him.

We’ll see, won’t we? It’s not like USA are the the first empire to fall. The next empire will act in their own interests just as the USA has done.

America has made shit moves, to be sure

I think that’s an understatement. It’s got some things right. Due process (at least for US citizens until the war on terror) was a good idea, but that seems to be a thing of the past now aswell. It never really thought the international rules they instated applied to themselved though.

but they supported the majority of the world’s population against far more authoritarian regimes

Like in Iran, where they orchestrated a coup de’tat against Mosaddegh? I wonder who reigns in Iran now… Surely after the helpfull intervention of the USA and UK their leadership is even more democratic and liberal now.

And I am sure their intervention in Irak had nothing to do with oil and was all about the chemical weapons we’ve all seen by now. I meand, yes, they were pretty secular back then and had a similar standart of living to us. So what, if the islamic state today is a direct consequence of US intervention and the power vacuum they left behind?

And the indescriminate poisoning of millions of Vietnamese had nothing to do with deformed children beeing born. They had to be protected from their own authoritarian goverments, you see? What are a few handicapped children in comparisson to that?

I could go on forever, but you get the idea. In my eyes the USA never was a force for democracy or freedom, but their own (and as an European my own) benefit.

I doubt China will be any better, but at least from what I’ve seen so far their imperialism seems to be mostly economic (though they might simply be biding their time).

I’m sure they’d exploit any weakness they find in us, just as we’d do to them. So basically same old story… And who’s cheering this exactly?

Another MAGA fucknut. The EU will fill the void left by the USA and become the beacon for free world.

and suddenly those countries are in control of the world’s shipping lanes.

Is fascist, xenophobic America supposed to be better?
