I'm not gonna pretend like any imperial power is good. The sooner people realize that monolithic power structures are the problem the sooner things will get better. States dont exist to protect people, they exist to control them.

They're never good, but they're useful sometimes and blanket dismissals can be wasted opportunities in a world dominated by capitalism.

They're useful for dividing humans on arbitrary lines to turn us against one another for power and resources.
