The situation which is being seen in US/A at the moment is nothing
more than a continuation of the history of the very rich WASPs and
others in the country who consider the country to belong to them
and only them
It is a reflection of the Imperialist and neo-Colonialist actions that the
US/A has carried out in, most recently, Vietnam, Cambodia, the whole
of Latin/South America, the ''Middle East'' etc.
And previously, the genocide of the Native peoples and the horrors of
slavery and slave trading.

In US/A, ''democracy'' is owned by those who can afford the Millions
or even Billions of Dollars to run for high office.

The world is seeing a repeat of the

''Decline and fall of the Roman Empire''.

And YES, UK had, has and will continue to have a similar track
record.
That is confirmed by our Lemming like BrExit tactic and the wilful
assassination of 1 000s of their own citizens by our Right-Wing
Government over the non-protection of the populace from C 19.

USA never had a empire, they are a colony

 

''In 1963, a very different president — John F. Kennedy
— faced rioting in Birmingham, a city that had become
a focus of the civil rights movement.
The violence erupted in Birmingham, Ala., on May 11,
1963, just before Mother’s Day. Just a day earlier, the
city’s business leaders had reached an agreement with
its black residents, led by the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. and the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, on wide-ranging
desegregation and the hiring of African Americans for
jobs long denied them.
The optimism ... expressed went up in flames that Saturday
evening, and since then America’s progress toward racial
harmony has stumbled forward only intermittently.

Not even the election of the nation’s first black president
has put an end to America’s ugly racism, as the killing of
George Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer this
month demonstrated once again.''

Those who have read many of my comments knows that I think America's rich have too much wealth and power. For years public opinion surveys have indicated popular support for a more progressive tax system. The Democrats have not been able to exploit this because most whites distrust the Democrat Party on racial issues. For most people most of the time loyalties of race, nation, and ethnicity are stronger than loyalties of class.

I do believe that Western civilization is doomed and that centuries from now historians will attribute the decline and fall of Western civilization to multi racialism. Civilization has only thrived in countries where virtually everyone belongs to one of the two civilized races of whites and Orientals. Third world races game the system. Most members of third world races lack the intelligence to earn first world incomes. Because they lack the intelligence to earn the good life, they opt for the easy life on welfare. Many become criminals and terrorists.

Civilization will continue to survive and to thrive in Eastern Europe and the Far East. Because the Slavs have rejected the lies of Marxist Leninism the Chinese have rejected the lies of Maoism they find it easy to reject the delusions that "Race is only a social construct," and "We are all the same under the skin."

In the West I predict the restoration of tribes as governments lose the ability to govern well. Tribes will begin as armed militias of friends and relatives who ban together to defend their lives and property against roving bands of criminals. Tribes exist where the government is weak, ineffective, or does not exist. This is why tribes continue to exist in Iraq, which is where civilization began over five thousand years ago.

I define a civilization as a city based culture where the government has the effective monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. If you have children try to get them to learn Russian,



Mandarin,



or preferably both. As the sun sets on the West it rises on the East.

Only a dumb fuck would think that the U.S. is an empire.

@josef K.
Josef, I entirely agree with your analysis, unfortunately. I studied the case and yes.
You can add France to the mix as well.

the American empire
and

America holding in to her colony

 

America never was an empire,... seems the last empire to fall was British

 

It was. Jefferson talked about Empire of Liberty. A federation of states that goes all across a continent fills the definition of an Empire, which is military by the way. The Manifest Destiny prompted the Settlers to conquer a continent with guns.
AND the Monroe Doctrine was an essential part in the making of the country. If you look at what's going on in Argentina and Venezuela, that's still the outcome of the Monroe Doctrine.
The French backed up the Yankees in their desire to rise as a Naval force capable of defeating the Royal Navy. The Statue of Liberty in the port of New York was not solely about slavery. It was also about trade.
