I go back and forth a lot between thinking people are losing faith in U.S. systems in record time, and thinking that I’m making up libidinal fantasies and overestimating the speed or extent of that loss of faith.
So what do you all think?
I’d like to think it won’t take a hot war to dislodge the U.S. empire, but if it took WW1 and WW2 to kill the old European colonial empires… well, anyway, I’d like to think it won’t come to that.
I honestly don’t think that a hot war would be necessary. If you had the majority of the world against you it would be somewhat trivial to destroy the country with just economic blockades. If, for some reason, a situation arised in which the US became isolationist and tried to survive on its own merits, it could primarily due to the fantastic american agricultural capacity. Realistically, regular firebombing and strategic air attacks would be sufficient to starve the US at full power.
