- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoThe tone this comment uses is very good at creating a subjective feeling of correctness without many concrete reasons backing it up. Furiously weaving together a grand story of decline makes it hard for the reader to raise important questions like “in which specific ways is US power projection weakened?” or “hold on, how can the US be only good for wealth extraction, didn’t they invent the iPhone just a decade ago?”
