Thinking abt immortality and how meticulously you’d have to keep track of all of your shit so some nosy historian didnt spot your old journal or coat or copy of a book and call an infuriating time-based finders keepers
“It’s two hundred years old” they say. “It’s essentially public property” they say. It’s a letter you sent to your friend and it’s in a museum now and you’re screaming

So let me get this straight.
I’m not American nor do I live in the U.S.
Whether we agree or not, the U.S. has had major impact on creating the world we live in today. Their role is decreasing now - due to multiple reasons - but it is not yet at a level, where we should be expected to talk about a major realignment. The shift and realignment will happen, because it is impossible, without major tendencies for authoritarian control worldwide, to be and remain a unitary force forever. After the ending of the (dare I say previous?) Cold War, the U.S., for a while, was the world’s single superpower. It will not remain so in the future - that is probably guaranteed.
But the world is in turmoil due to U.S. leadership deciding to just skip everything and go back to “man the boundaries, do your duty to this establishment” (yes, I borrowed from HP) because
1) a rich man couldn’t take a jibe at him, deciding that he’d become a president and literally ruin every and any relations its country had with anybody? (not yet, but the track record of plunders isn’t great)
2) a black man won the presidency twice?
