      That's true, but also foreign policy is the one thing the US can still do in a functioning way. Like the Roman Empire in 400CE, the Frontiers are still mostly intact but the interior is rotten.

          Well said. This is honestly where Chapo and Felix specifically helped radicalize me further. His harping on about how the one thing that is off the table no matter what is empire, you talk about unions, you can talk about medicare for all, but you cannot even mention the empire. That shit really has become the focus of my politics, not just mild criticism of how expensive our military is, but actually fighting against our military and everything it stands for.

          My comrades are whoever looks at the most radical reforms Bernie offered and said "not fucking good enough" because it leaves the empire intact. We have to question 9/11 ruthlessly, and our actions as more than a mistake, but a willful crime
