I’m going to die a very scary, traumatic death and so are a lot of the people who are closest to my heart—we’re all homeless, and we’re all drug addicts, and I have the special bonus of being (sort of) trans as well. I’m already seeing the ratcheting up of hatred for homeless drug users—I’ll be shot in the head and kicked into a pit, and my only hope is that I’ll be one of the very first so I won’t have to live with the pain of worrying about anyone I care about.
So yeah, while I agree that America’s collapse would be a W for humankind overall, it’s hard to fucking see that silver lining when things are that bleak.
I just want the rest of what’s likely to be a very short life to be chill. I just want things to be normal.
Hell, it'd be better even for the imperial core and US vassals (who don't deserve the benefit). The likes of Europe and the UK could eliminate US interference in their elections, rebuild some of their specialised manufacturing base, not get dragged into every murderous boondoggle of a war and spend their military budgets on actual defense instead of vanity hardware to line the pockets of US military contractors.
Europeans absolutely deserve it. Signed, a Euroid
Maybe I phrased it awkwardly. I mean the Europe doesn't deserve the benefits of American decline. I wasn't expressing sympathy.
lol, my bad. We’re in agreement on that point (and complete disagreement that Europe has anything good coming for it anyway)
No worries comrade. On second read it wasn't too clear so I edited.
