How America Is Comprehensively Fucking Itself

Sinking in the historical quicksand, and making it worse by struggling

America has enemies, but America is its own worst enemy. Whatever problems America has — dedollarization, military depreciation, economic degradation, outright rebellion — you can count on America to make it worse. On all counts they’re not merely failing, they’re flailing furiously, sinking deeper into the historical quicksand. The last incarnation of White Empire could just chill in its old age, as China makes it stuff and South Americans take care of it, but no, they want to go out like Joe Biden. Killing lots of children and dying embarrassingly in public.

The world is quite integrated and America’s enemies aren’t even trying to take it down, which is costly for them and risks global annihilation. They’re just trying to defend themselves but America cannot stop offending, even with its pants falling down and teeth falling out. American Empire could last for decades out of sheer inertia, but they’re losing it this decade out of sheer cussedness. America came in genociding and fighting and, dagnabit, they’re going out that way.

This is all unnecessary, but the indispensable nation just can’t help themselves. Like a man who’s only ever shoplifted, they don’t know how to shop normally. It’s like that…
