i get nothing from american hegemony, quite the opposite
all the people with too much to lose by the status quo ending are usually in one way or another distasteful to me and the people with the most to gain from a "collapse" are people who i want to see have a good future
i think the main issue is that the word collapse is interpreted very differently depending on how you see things, it's a loaded term that usually evokes images of gritty resource wars and whatever someone saw on netflix last week
