The collapse of the American empire would benefit almost every other country. I am starting to feel that since I live in America I should want to accelerate the collapse (or make sure one happens if things start to go back to business as usual). Can someone tell me why this is a bad idea so that I don’t make a mistake here.

    I think we need to examine what we’re specifically talking about when we say, “collapse.” The British Empire, the Weimar Republic, and the Qing dynasty all collapsed, but that collapse looked very different in each case.

      They will exist as a shadow of their former selves no longer able to wage war or terrorise other countries with impunity

          Declining conditions is too vague it can elapse anything from eggs got 0.5 cents more expensive to the economy just collapsed (which would weaken the war machine severely since the army is effectively a money sink with no returns) no in order for the US to collapse it has suffer several defeats at war and forcibly undergo an economic transformation that leaves is more isolated from the world
