If you live in the US Empire, you can be a part of the movement to end it. Especially with the Empire's recent aggression against Venezuela, now is a good time to get active! Join an org like the PSL! They're already organizing anti-war protests, and even had one on Saturday.
That's objectively bad messaging. 'End the US Empire' is so trivial to paint as purely anti-American. Not only will fail to win over more than a tiny fraction of people, but anyone part of it will be easily discredited
How would 'end the US Empire' ever be a popular idea in America? Even assuming it is a moral platform, it can only ever be a fringe idea in America
I'm going to predict the future exactly as it will happen: either the US empire is ended and humanity survives it's inevitable fall or the empire drags us all down with it in a nuclear fireball. Pick one.
I'm with your prediction if you are willing to include the nuclear fireball being a hail mary to stop climate change via nuclear winter (ik the concept is debated but I don't know the physics)
