Experiencing the collapse of the US from inside it is gonna suck, but seeing China become the world's leading superpower will hopefully take the edge off

So, literally, do nothing, win
It's the Steam/Linux/China strategy
It's actually incredibly deflating this dumbass empire has maintained supremacy this long, and that the USSR lost to this gaggle of clowns. They've literally only had one good imperialist in FDR (and Truman, I guess) and since then it's been a series of missteps and errors
the USSR lost to this gaggle of clowns
tbf, they lost to a previous generation of clowns that hadn't yet become 100% high on their own supply the way today's clowns have
Trump: we have

At home: 
The "clowns" that the USSR lost to were some of the most competent monsters of modern history. Meanwhile the USSR post-Stalin was riddled with incompetents.
Yes the USSR left to the empire-builders that arose of the american political sphere which defanged and destroyed the Left in America with FDR, racism and patriotism...and plain ol murder.
(and Truman, I guess)
FUCK Truman. That dirty bastard dropped two atomic bombs on Japan knowing they were already at the point of surrender. He did it to flex on the USSR. How cooked does your brain have to be to do something that inhumane?
Oh yeah I'll show you CHYNA [shoots self in the foot] I bet that hurts, doesn't it?
The funniest part about this is that the security state is chock full of right wingers so they did this to themselves.
Like oh damn maybe if you hadn't pulled a Red Scare so hard you could have had a thousand year burger Reich with social democracy and welfare and still got 90% of your business hierarchy bullshit because everyone would still be under capitalism.
Instead you allied with the religious right, packed your FBI full of teetotaling Mormons and southern baptists and now the ice chewing WASP blue bloods aren't in charge anymore.
Never interrupt your enemy, while he is making a mistake
The Coming Collapse of the United States(TM) is fine but I just hope they don't start any nuclear wars being the rabid dogs they are
our intelligent "wait on China's inevitable collapse", their manipulative "taking advantage of disruption"
The lemmygrad general discussion thread image this week seems to be on to something.
