suck my woke dick posted:meet the new boss, same as the old boss. unless you have a plan beyond "what if new boss???" the plan is first you get rid of the hegemony by whatever means you have to resort to, then you try to build a better world, and maybe succeed, or don't.

suck my woke dick posted:give the romans coal power stations and see how it goes. protip: probably badly, given that widespread airborne lead pollution first became a thing due to roman smelting operations, long before we gave it another go with leaded gasoline the US is and continues to be explicitly against development of the the broader world and that includes Europe. the US is fundamentally extractive, as it uses its exorbitant privilege only for its benefit, and any incidental development that occured in places like Germany and Japan will always be temporary - destorying Japan via the Plaza Accords and then attacking Nordstream to cut Germany's energy indepedence is due to American policy, nothing else. There's a reason why latin american continues to be underdeveloped and leftist politicians are routinely assasinated or undercut by US policy. Not only that, but having veto power in every single international agency makes it useless to even call them international ones. They are US institutions set up to serve US interests. i reject that a bloc has to be "controlled" in this same fashion to work in its member states benefit - there's nothing inherent about international finance that stipulates extractiveness. this needs to be tested, but this war is the first hint that over the next few decades, viable mechanisms of international settlement can be achieved without involving the US system at all and being beneficial to all member states without western style exploitation. you're arguing that the future will consist of states acting in the same fashion as the US, but you're basing it off of historical examples of how the west has treated the world since the 1500s. for the first time, an asian country in hundreds of years that operates under completely different principles can withstand the shocks the US could impose on it - imposing the same behavior on them without looking at how they're operating seems very short sighted and a false equivalence. The american response to Ukraine is both to keep russia engaged while making sure the European satellites remain locked into the US system and not defect to where the growth is - that is eurasia.

Back up your assertion that any nation could be as depraved and pervasive as the US. no u seriously, give an example of a major power that wasn't 1) absolute poo poo to whoever it could dominate or 2) doing splendid isolationism, thus letting the second biggest power do 1

I mean if the big crimes of China are building on some atolls in disputed territory, what is that compared to the US? Personally, I actually don't think the US "disappearing" is actually necessary or perhaps even desirable, but certainly its influence should be pushed as far as back as possible. "Pax Americana" simply isn't sustainable, even if the US' power base is crumbling, it is simply too exploitive and disastrous for the world's population. Look at the damage the IMF has done (a US creation), look at the wars, look at the chaos created by the US when the rest of the world has tried to address COVID or climate change; the US perhaps doesn't need to be destroyed, but it can't have the head seat at the table any longer. As why the US shouldn't be destroyed, it is perhaps still beneficial to have some upper-middle strength powers around even if they are embittered for a few generations. Admittedly, if the US was on the verge of collapse, it would be better to prop it up a bit then again just let chaos reign.

i've always hated the argument that if you do some things that bad people have done, that automatically means you're a bad person, even if your goals are completely opposite and beneficial. Hitting someone in the back, or driving your first into someone's gut, or cutting open a woman's abdomen are all terrible things, unless you're trying to prevent them choking to death or trying to deliver a baby that will otherwise die or imperil the mother if you just let nature take it's course.
