Do you guys really think you can just hire protective security and that will keep you safe? Honestly
there is no left in America. We had a president who ran on no war in Iraq/ Afghanistan and then that same guy became one of the largest warmonger era in recent American history.
America has the far right party and then the slightly lesser far right party
There cannot be a true left party in control when we have endless wars, systemic racism against brown people that use “drugs”. We are the most powerful country in the history or the world, yet we still have starving citizens and a population that the government doesn’t care enough about to give healthcare to
Wrt to empires ending, that’s a fallacy. The Roman empire( Catholic Church) and the British empire are still doing GREAT. Same thing for China. What a silly argument
Steve Bannon speaks to this in his podcast.
They prefer an anarchistic system as that is the ultimate way to protect the power of the elites against the changing tides of demographic and democratic changes that will continue to rebalance more power to those who historically have had less.
Bannon et al, cannot see any path, as they had in the past, where they continue to keep tight reign on the levers of power to their own benefit and thus want to smash the system while they hold the power balance and move to a Might Makes Right system.
Thus why they look to Putin and Viktor Orban as their guiding light leaders and increasingly members clamour for the Dictatorship over a Democracy in the US.
they hope the powers of a dictator will be used along side them and never against them, in crushing the rise of POC and other minority groups, rising power, to maintain the status quo, they see slipping.
