America is the most sophisticated empire in the history of mankind. But it will also fall.

Interestingly, US elites learned a lot from the collapse of the recent empires of UK, France, Spain etc., but they are repeating the fatal errors of the Roman Empire from 2000 years ago.
Spain and Portugal were vast empires but failed mostly because they didn’t focus on technology and innovation.

The US learned that lesson and pushed the medal to the pedal until a decade ago, when China started taking the lead role.

Now, America’s only plan is to cripple China.
The British Empire was relatively the most cunning until 1945, but it also crumbled partly because it literally occupied its colonies.

Thus, the American Empire devised indirect control through central banks, IMF/World Bank, corporations, food supply, energy supply etc.
And even when the US had to occupy its vassal states through military bases, the colonized people were presented with an illusion of sovereignty — like in Japan and Germany.

So, this visible but invisible empire is more stable than any European colonial power.
But the American Empire replicated two deadly sins of the Roman Empire:

🔹Over-extended military & perpetual wars

🔹Exploiting its own people and then covering it up with bread and circus.

Like a snake eating its own, America has been devouring itself for the last 4 decades.
Thanks to the rigged dollar supremacy, the US is able to keep its poor people from revolting.

Tens of millions of Americans are given free food, free housing, free healthcare etc. This is the “bread” of the Roman Empire.

Wokeism is the US version of the Roman circus.
Keeping people sedated through pharmaceutical drugs, marijuana, illegal drugs, alcohol etc. are more modern concepts embraced by the American Empire.

Aldous Huxley predicted this decades ago:
The Roman Empire eventually fell apart internally and externally. Same is happening with the USA.

The country is deeply polarized. Republicans and Democrats live in alternate universes.

Rome was also attacked by “barbarians” — Germanic tribes from the north.
The US strategy has always been to proactively befriend the barbarians. Hence the sponsoring of Al Qaeda, Nazis, dictators, death squads etc.

But unlike Rome, the US is facing sophisticated geopolitical masterminds like Russia and China.
The silent revolt is gathering pace. A multipolar world is emerging.

The new global alliance won’t burn down Washington DC.

But it’s possible that Americans will burn down their own country when the exorbitant privileges start disappearing.
End 🧵

American copium regarding China has evolved over the years.

From “China is poor” to “China IS collapsing” to now “China is rich but WILL collapse.”

Here’s a quick debunking about the demographic crisis, one of the alleged reasons for future collapse: Image
1. A smaller population will be a blessing in the coming years. A lot of people still don't understand the coming revolution of AI and robots.

Like this autonomous taxi, for example.
2. If there are jobs that cannot be done by robots, there are two options:

A. Offshore those jobs to other developing nations. This will also mean higher profit margins for Chinese companies.

B. Bring in immigrants -- perhaps even on a short-term basis.

America could have been a great country. After WW2, it was a big victor and had all the advantages.

The U.S. could have easily made peace with the USSR and avoided the entire Cold War, which entailed countless wars, coups, assassinations, propping up brutal pro-US dictators etc.
The U.S. could also have been a moral society, sticking to the traditional values and good tenets of Christianity, rather than going on a wild social engineering path.

The U.S. could have swiftly eradicated all discriminations against African Americans, without fake wokeism.
The U.S. could have had the world’s best education and enlightening media rather than spreading dysfunctional garbage and creating a dumb society.

USA could have promoted real science and healthy food instead of letting junk food create a nation of obesity and chronic diseases

There are two ways to control the masses:

- Impose a lot of restrictions

- Give too much “freedom”

Both systems need to be understood, along with their intentions.

The second system, mastered by the US, needs deeper analyses.
The first one is obvious. Restrict people’s information, speech, activities etc.

This is a spectrum, obviously, and there’s no clear boundary for what’s right and wrong.
This is also very obvious to an observer.

Like, China’s restriction on the internet or Islamic countries’ dress code.

The West also has similar overt restrictions — like banning or soft censorship of Russian/Chinese media. But to a relatively smaller degree.

Today in 1917, Britain just gave away Palestine to the Jewish leaders.

No democracy, elections, rule of law, sovereignty, human rights blah blah.

👇🏽 Balfour Declaration letter to a Lord Rothschild, the great-great-grandson of the dynasty.

But why?
First, the Zionist movement had become quite influential by then.

Jewish people in US and Europe were very successful and supported Zionism even if they themselves were not willing to move to the new Israel.

But still why would the British Empire just give Palestine away?
Obviously I don’t know! But here’s a fascinating narrative I heard long time ago:

“During WW1, the British were getting crushed by Germans.

By mid-1916, Germany had clearly won. Happy with the results, Germans proposed ending the war. And the UK was about to sign the deal.”
