The problem here is we don’t have a better successor to our shitty system. China is likely to become the next dominant super power but we all know how fucked they’ve been to the Uyghurs, the Nepalese, India with border skirmishes, Asian mercantile boats through naval clashes, and practically every other country with their Wolf Warrior diplomacy. If fledgling markets thought US hegemony sucked, just think how China will treat them. They don’t give a fuck about soft power.
That’s the real problem, China so far has made the Americans look good. But the way Americans are behaving (and their medium capabilities for reform) makes the calculus a little bit more complex.
