the end is fucking nigh

once a power reverts to might as their primary means of influence and control, rather than the superiority of their culture, values and ideals, the end is near.

once a power starts compromising its own core values, such as illiegally spying on its own citizens, it will find that its base ideals and structures will begin to rot and cannot hold, hence, the end is near.

once a power ends up with its citizenry chosing ignorance for bliss over interaction and questions, the end is near.

once a power sacrifices its own well-being, such as pulling funds from disaster relief for the sole purpose of military might, the end is near.

once a power begins to believe the false image it starts to project, the end is near.

i am officially announcing the beginning of the decline of the american empire. may she rest in peace.
