I didn't realize you were a psychic mind reader with extra sensory perception who could see into the hidden future.

How about some winning lottery numbers, oh great mystical mage?

TIL Germany, Italy, and Spain all literally do not exist.

So you're saying the people don't have to do anything at all?

Don't have to vote or organize a revolution?

Just pray to Marx and he'll send a thunderbolt?

"the people"???

how do you think slave empires usually end? do you think they go on forever until the cowards within their borders have a big election?

i think the war/ famine/ wildfire/ disease/ genocides that the empire has begun are going to continue spreading until they catch up with the empire and it collapses

you already have domestic concentration camps, a couple pandemics primed, and people who are so angry and lost they want to see nothing but the white bones of the ruling class

i think the empire thinks the pentagon and their nukes make them invincible and they're going to learn the same lesson empires always learn

*edit i blocked this guy because he's more interested in his "the people" and "consequences" imaginary constructs

When empires fall they don't go easily.

Thinking America will just vanish with no consequences is magical thinking.
