The collapse of Imperial America
From Glenn Greenwald’s piece titled “What collapsing empire looks like:”
Does anyone doubt that once a society ceases to be able to afford schools, public transit, paved roads, libraries and street lights — or once it chooses not to be able to afford those things in pursuit of imperial priorities and the maintenance of a vast Surveillance and National Security State — that a very serious problem has arisen, that things have gone seriously awry, that imperial collapse, by definition, is an imminent inevitability?
See also Jon Robb’s global guerrillas. This is basically the beginning of his argument.
