    Climate change is already making the evil empire crumble. We may be smug about the dumb Americans in other parts of the imperial core and pat ourselves on the back for being more civilised but the Texan collapse is just the beginning.

    The US is the most vulnerable part of the empire due to decades of liberal extremists stripping the public sector and neglecting the upkeep of public services. In other parts of the imperial core social democratic reforms still holds society together.

    But these reforms cannot hold forever. They are constantly being watered down and while they might be better able to handle an extra snowstorm now and then they will fail catastrophically when climate change turns most of Italy and Spain into a desert.

    What we see today in Texas is the future that awaits France, Germany, Scandinavia, Canada etc.
