Like, every other imperial collapse sees more and more daring raids being committed against the dying empire, more territory being ceded with every year. But we aren’t seeing that.
I don't know, man. Look at Colonial Pipeline. Look at the BLM protest marches against the police. Or the collapse of our imperial redoubts in places like Afghanistan and Hong Kong and various corners of Latin America. There was that story any the US border wall being sold for scrape in Mexico. There's the sporadic shootings at military bases. There's the increasing lawlessness of private businesses, up to and including the sponsorship of the Jan 6th riots.
There are a lot of instances in which the imperial state is deteriorating, even if it doesn't involve Russia reclaiming Alaska or Mexico chewing up San Jose.

That's a fair point. I'm focusing too much on obvious places and not on the real places of imperialism.
