politics thought, future historians
i wonder, in the distant future, will people talk about the USian empire in positive terms or negative ones?
i'm reasonably certain there will be talk of a USian empire. But whether they're referring to how the US is today, which is basically an empire in all but name, or some kind of awful future expansionist USA, remains to be seen
i really hope far future people don't talk about the current or future US as a great empire, but rather as--at the very least--a dark stain on USian history
