Yet another sign: presence of the Pirates of the South US Coast as a mirror for the 华南海盗 of the Qing dynasty.
liberals and socdems are like the pathetic reform movements that try to reinvigorate the dying empire by making small adjustments
however the US empire is still somehow an exporter of global imperial violence while the late qing was mostly a victim of it
China occupying Manhattan and downtown LA to trade fentanyl for soybeans and starbucks coffee mugs would be pretty funny though
The late Qing never had the same imperial ambitions as the US so maybe comparing it to another colonial empire like the British who still manage to export violence despite being well past their prime

plundering the global south is bipartisan, why would they punish themselves for this?
I have a dream that the US citizens will elect a socialist administration that will drop the liberalism and punish this corruption
emphasis on dream, yeah
