The United States is a collapsing empire. It took the western Roman Empire 700 hundred years to collapse. How long will it take us?

All of humanity needs to figure out how to have a post-imperialism world and I hope we figure it out quick

That's right, but in my opinion, America is a country that really influences the world with every movement or policy.

We're likely moving back to a multifocal world like before colonialism wherein different smaller geographic areas (think a continents are even smaller part of a continent) had a country within that they tended to see as the leader of their particular area. But MAGA+DOGE killed whatever goodwill we had left by killing USAID, etc. Most countries have been increasingly upset about us being 'world police' and these shenanigans are the final straw. I don't think that the portion of billionaires, techies and fundamentalists who want to break up the USA into microstates will entirely get their way, but over time we'll lose our empire status entirely but still be around like Spain or the UK with a much smaller influence on the world stage.

Things like network states, will increase but not really be powerful enough to entirely control legacy countries or break up bigger international governmental entities, but will eventually have to have treaties with them. Some in the far left will respond with creating similar communes that run on those philosophies. The United States will probably be more like Europe, and individual states will be more like countries with networked states, communes and tribal communities in them negotiating treaties within those and with international bodies as well. It's going to be a rough time ahead, but reading the archeological record might give needed perspective of how populations ebb & flow, recombining and survive even through horrible upheavals and massive changes.
