It's not dead: it's gone from latent fascism to acute fascism. It's very sick, and it will die, but not without hurting the whole world in its noisy death throes.
the rest of the world would be hurting even if it wasn't dying. but the US knocking itself off the top of the world order is gonna be better for the rest of the world in the long run.
If anything this is groundbreaking evidence that destabilizing an international rival is safe, easy and profitable. The rest of the world isn't going to hold hands and sing kumbaya, every country is now in an arms race to root out their own instability and isolate themselves.
We're headed back to the late 19th century. Say goodbye to soft power, simmering rivalries and large scale international cooperation. Every nation will have its own strong man and/or Palantir-style surveillance. Alliances will turn on a dime, your oldest friend could be your biggest threat in under a decade.
International mistrust now abounds at a time where cooperation is the only way to prop up our failing biosphere. All hard won rights and freedoms in the last 200 years will be quietly clawed back. Anyone cheering for this is a fool.
No it won't, because China will simply fill that gap.
You're responding to a tankie. They hope Russia or China take over.
