On average, empires last about 250 years. Guess how old the US will be in July...
I don't consider it an 'Empire", it's basically England continued under a different name. Time for the U.S. of A. to rejoin Europe, as well as England admitting it made a mistake leaving the EU. Include also New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Argentine, Chile. When the smoke clears, include Ukraine and Russia. Drop all the artificial boarders, they've become nonsensical in an era of the Internet/Smartphones and cheap airline travel.
Because we don’t carbon tax.
And we don’t carbon tax because all those places don’t work together for the common good of all.
And lumping all those together with the current systems of democracy where citizens get a vague say once every four years and every major corporation gets a say on every single law before it gets passed, will lead to and even bigger Empire that will fail even bigly-er.
fuck yes
If it's England continued under another name, is it not then still the English Empire?
So like the British empire?
