The United States has just spent billions of dollars to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. As justification for the self-destructive mindlessness, the White House gestures towards Jesus and genocide.
The systems that made the United States a superpower cannot be rebuilt as they were, nor should they be: they involved structural injustices that made the present attempt at self-annihilation possible.
From where we stand now there are two ways forward: one is the self-induced downfall of the American republic; the other is to reconsider American ideals and to restructure American politics so as to bring the people greater power over a more just future.

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda. This is bad enough on its own; but I think this performance is symptomatic of something deeper — a systematic undoing of American power by Americans."

@EricLawton @AnnaAnthro Excellent question. We should ask @TheEconomist why they didn't publish their Democracy Index this year. They should take the advice of noted autocracy expert #TimSnyder "Do NOT obey in advance"

They had 107 days.
The #OrangeShitGibbon has been operating for decades, backed by #oligarchs and #Fascism the whole time.
This moment has been coming for a long time.

#AnneNelsonBlaming #KamalaHarris is like when you had the big party in High School while your parents were away and
blaming the last kid to show up to the party - for you getting busted when the cops show up. -
Mainstream media trying to curry favor with a Trump administration will surrender democracy in advance.
What does Tim Snyder say? “Resist authoritarianism by refusing to obey in advance.”

Excellent wrap-up.

"Putin has read about various realms in the past. By calling them “Russia,” he claims their territories for the Russian Federation he rules today."
"Such nonsense brings war. On Putin's logic, leaders anywhere can make endless claims to territory based on various interpretations of the past. That undoes the entire international order, based as it is upon legal borders between sovereign states."
