If you live in the US Empire, you can be a part of the movement to end it

That's objectively bad messaging. 'End the US Empire' is so trivial to paint as purely anti-American. Not only will fail to win over more than a tiny fraction of people, but anyone part of it will be easily discredited

How would 'end the US Empire' ever be a popular idea in America? Even assuming it is a moral platform, it can only ever be a fringe idea in America

    Any socialist organizing will be painted as anti american. Who gives a shit? The fascists call the neolibs radical, marxist, far left, anti american, you name it, despite the fact that they're two sides of the same shitty capitalist coin.

    Your comment rhymes with telling a child not to stand up to their bully because the bully will call them names. Even a child would answer with, "but they do that already!"

    I'm going to predict the future exactly as it will happen: either the US empire is ended and humanity survives it's inevitable fall or the empire drags us all down with it in a nuclear fireball. Pick one.

    I'm with your prediction if you are willing to include the nuclear fireball being a hail mary to stop climate change via nuclear winter (ik the concept is debated but I don't know the physics)
