I suspect we are in the waning years of the unipolar American Empire era. The dollar has been a complete fraud for 50 years, and on shaky ground for decades before that. The perpetual wars and interventions have made the US a naked belligerent instead of a plausible peacemaker. Our economy has been corrupted by government intervention and corporate privilege at the expense of the everyman. I still think Trump was the lesser evil in 2024, but the lesser evil is still definitely evil. In his case, it's a gut instinct populism paired with a lot of dubious advisors and influences which could be steered to better the world, but so far is not trending well.
I think so too. Power goes to the collective head.
Perhaps, but it doesn't matter when choosing evil. Perhaps the saving grace of Trump is the speed of implosion? Like ripping off duct tap from skin.
It seems that a better world in their various visions, don't consider humanity a part of it.
