But it’s still fucking amazing and jokerfying that biden is the fucking guy this decaying empire coughed up during its death rattle to oversee the continuing and accelerating decline.
Real last days of rome shit. Actually, it’s too much even for that. If someone was making a movie about the fall of rome and the emperor was portrayed as a doddering old decrepit fuck like Biden people would say it was a little much.
It’s still astounding that they couldn’t find another smooth talking neoliberal ghoul ANYWHERE. Couple that with Pelosi’s fucking “good morning, Sunday morning” gaffe, the fact that Feinstein apparently doesn’t know what planet she’s on, and then multiple senators and congresspeople are apparently on Alzheimer’s medication. The absolute state of bourgeois democracy. incredible.
Ancient Empires may appear, in hindsight, to be contiguous when in the moment they seem fractured and independent.
When the book is written on the Colonial Era, we may recognize "The Empire of Europe" as a singular event spanning centuries rather than a number of disjointed states with Golden Eras lasting decades. Certainly, there is enough modern-day overlap through NATO and the EU to define North America, Western Europe, and the occupied Pacific states as more than their parts.
