this article details things i've been seeing and thinking about the empire for some time now and it details all quite well, in case you wish to explore some of the reasons for the collapse of the empire;
We’re getting close to the end now. Can
you feel it? I do. It’s in the news, on the streets, and in your face
every day. You can’t tune it out anymore, even if you wanted to.
Where once there was civil debate in the court of public opinion, we now have censorship, monopoly, screaming, insults, demonization, and, finally, the use of force to
silence the opposition. There is no turning back now. The political
extremes are going to war, and you will be dragged into it even if you
consider yourself apolitical.
There are great pivot points in history, and we’ve arrived at one. The United States, ruptured by a thousand grievance groups, torn by shadowy agencies drunk on a gross excess of power, robbed blind by oligarchs and their treasonous henchmen and decimated by frivolous wars of choice, has finally come to a point where the end begins in earnest.
The center isn’t holding… indeed,
finding a center is no longer even conceivable. We are the schizophrenic
nation, bound by no societal norms, constrained by no religion, with no
shared sense of history, myth, language, art, philosophy, music, or
culture, rushing toward an uncertain future fueled by nothing more than
easy money, hubris, and sheer momentum.
There comes a time when hard choices
must be made…when it is no longer possible to remain aloof or amused
because the barbarians have arrived at the gate. Indeed, they are here
now, and they often look a whole lot like deracinated, conflicted, yet
bellicose fellow Americans, certain of only one thing, and that is that
they possess “rights”, even though they could scarcely form an
intelligible sentence explaining exactly what those rights secure or how
they came into being.
But that isn’t necessary, from their
point of view, you see. All they need is a “voice” and membership in an
approved victim class to enrich themselves at someone else’s expense. If
you are thinking to yourself right now that this does not describe you,
then guess what? The joke’s on you, and you are going to be expected to
pay the bill…that “someone else” is you.
