It's so obviously true but I don't think the powers that be will allow it to happen in the same way it happened to the British empire. And that's why we both hope that something can happen to prevent it from happening, and also prevent inevitable war against the other superpowers. I'm sure you know what I mean but I still refer back to Chris Hedges as one of the best examples of stating the only real solution. Sadly, the hordes that contain people like 'evince', are possibly too many to overcome.
China's impact on all Americans is coming down the pipe very soon. None of the methods of preventing it that Trump could ever imagine can slow it down. I think his people will be ready for war if Trump lays the hints. Chinese people in America becoming his and their next minority to hate? Plant the seeds of hate in the same way it was done to Russia? I'm surprised it's not already happened. Maybe it has? Maybe I'll invent a test thread for the purpose? The Trump lowlife support is always easy to draw out.
