Im old enough to remember back in early 2010s Hillary going around lecturing China on Internet freedoms.... of speech etc
Nowadays the US is deplatforming and destroying the careers of those who speak against Charlie Kirk... not to mention banning TikTok because it exposed Israeli genocide...
And ICE is literally rounding up people in the streets... when I predicted concentration camps I thought it would just be limited to Chinese Americans
And soon Americans will be starving in mass... with the gay frog dude predicting Civil War II.... and even sensible folks like Ray Dalio saying it's game over
This is the fastest decline from unipolar hegemony in human history
Goes even further back, if you're old enough.
The US used to go after South East Asia, including Singapore, for significant violation of human rights due to detention without trial laws. Sure, there was high probability of political abuse but it was also used as a tool to combat rampant organised crime in post-colonial South East Asia.
Long story short, roll around the GWOT and Guantanamo (amongst others) came about and suddenly, it was "The ends justify the means".
