    The hope is mostly that if the us collapses it will remove pressure from the rest of the world and the global south will be able to fix at least some of the problems america created. All of us in america will be fucked, but hopefully the rest of the world will be able to take action once the american boot is off their neck.

    Pretty grim regardless.

      I’d argue you’re all fucked sooner or later tbh (considering the sheer bipartisan derangement, militarized police, and that cartoonish debt). At least if the US collapses- not only will the entire rest of the world be better off (provided elements within the regime don’t fire off the nukes), but the rest of the world will be able to intervene.

      Also IMO considering the horrors the US has ushered in for its entire ugly almost-250-year history, the entire world should see to it that the US never re-constitutes itself once it collapses. What better way to do it than by militarily occupying (to de-Nazify) the entire country, restoring governance to local and particularly indigenous peoples, and turning the entire place into a UN mandate until such governance is stable?

          It won’t and can’t be a single nation’s effort. But the entire global south (and Russia), I hope, will realize the necessity (frankly, I expect that the Yanks will act so deranged that there will be the necessity). No one nation has the ability, and the political will will develop in time (IMO) as the empire only continues its spiral to ever-new lows and derangement. Frankly I think- if the US cannot come to terms (which I suspect it won’t, but hope it will) or even if, when it does collapse- it will literally be a matter of the survival of the entire human species, to occupy and de-Nazify/thoroughly root out the imperialist mentality within the US.

      Fair enough, and this is a good reason why I think that if any of us can afford it, look into an exit strategy.

      Best case scenario, as many of us are somewhere else before it all comes crashing down.
