Historically, once an empire enters a death spiral like this one, you're looking at either 10-20 years of darkness followed by a golden age (France, Germany, Scotland), or 50-100 years of rape and starvation followed by things improving to merely mediocre (Russia, the entire Middle East, South Africa).
My personal definition of America's current dark age started in 2012, so we've got up to another decade to go, and it's only going to get worse. Then we just hope to God people come to their senses.
Not looking good for those who hoped 2023 would be slightly less bad than 2022.
I give this post a Feels rating ♥️
