Reply #27: What we live in is not an "American" empire [View All]

[The2ndWheel]

There is no need for an "American" empire when there is no other empire. You had the Soviets for a few decades, but they died out. You had WW2, which was a war to see which empires would continue to expand. You had every other war before those wars to figure out which empire would survive. This global empire that we live in is the end result of every war ever waged.

It's a global corporate state where we are all cogs doing our jobs to keep the machine running. We're not like Britain or Rome because we have no place. There is no there to conquer. Britain and Rome(and all the rest) already conquered those places. This is a planetary empire. Not completely, but if the energy is cheap enough, we'll get there.

"where is the empire?"

Exactly.
