Is This The Beginning of The End of The American Empire?
Culture is dominant? I don't think so. Or do you refer to Weinstein, Epstein, Floyd and Combs when you talk about culture, or Trump even himself. It's a disgusting kind of something, but no culture at all.🤢 -

Why do so many posters continually diss other posters?
Sure, there are fine people on both sides (according to the orange Jesus). A fine fascist is an oxymoron. The only good fascist is a dead fascist. -

It's 'Amazing Thailand' coffee so cost a wee bit more. Glad the shop wasn't ripping off people. -

Is This The Beginning of The End of The American Empire?
The US isn't really an 'empire' - more of a world super power that throws its weight around, now more erratically than ever. But to answer the main question, regardless of the video, 'Is this the beginning of the end of the US' as we have known it for decades, then I'd say it's not the beginning of the end. The beginning of that end happened in the late 70s and early 80s with 'Reaganomics' and a 'trickle down efffect' of wealth that never happened. The hate, poverty, the indifference to the working poor and societal division we see now is the predicted slide into the end of the United States internally. So we're maybe 2/3 of the way through it. The US and its society is a shadow of its proud self in the 1960s an early 70s. Unions built a post-war middle class, people were comfortable, kind to their neighbors, and very optomistic - compare that with now - that America is not recognisable today. I highly recommend reading two books by the US author Chris Hedges - 'Empire of Illusion' and "America, the farewell tour" he's a former award-winning journalist, a clergyman, and his book are full of quotes from peopel he's interviewed that comes to the grim conclusions above and there's no going back, it will get worse. The first book was written before Trump's first time in office. So this isn't a Trump bashing guy. He mentions Trump in second book during Trump's first term, but he basically says Trump is just a public symbol of the decay of society. -

You mean it's wrong to wish death upon a dictator who's responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of women, children and men?
