Well it's been good you guys, studies show empires fall after 250 years.

Both Russia and China are defending Iran now and if North Korea gets involved we may realistically be taken over by one of those countries. Honestly I can find some good. Moscow Russia is a fashion capital of the world and China has a lot of tech but north Korea I dunno about that. They use human sht (seen where Kim Jong admits this) and in crops that will lead to parasites I'd rather not have that.

That's assuming we all still have freedom, of course probably not.

And it's only a theory but basically all empires except a few go in stages and only last around 200 to 300 years.

The 250-Year Theory: This concept, popularized by Sir John Bagot Glubb, argues that empires go through stages—pioneers, conquest, commerce, affluence, intellect, and decadence—before collapsing.

We seemed to miss the intellect stage though 🤓

You guys there could be hope, we missed the intellect stage, we have to have that before we fall 🫠

Russia couldn't take over a wet paper bag at the moment, so we're good there. North Korea can't project power. China's the only risk and I doubt they want us anyways.

I don't know yet that it's the end of the country. Maybe the end of superpower status, but others have survived that collapse.

We may yet see recovery though. If we make it past the wars. We weren't even a superpower during the Gilded Age. Taxing the wealthy and investing in infrastructure actually gave us quite a prosperity boom. Maybe if we can do it again we don't exclude the minority groups from the benefits this go around.

It's not the foreign wars or other nations that are leading to our present collapse. It's transnational corporations and billionaires.

I live in Alabama. The intellectual revolution definitely hasn't happened here.

@jshm2 Honestly I'd rather have China take over than Nazis. At least after the chaos we'll benefit from their tech.
