Gestapo USA

I think the corruption of the empire in the midst of the rise of the global South and the dissemination of information means that America can no longer dictate policies around the world (else we coup, bomb or destabilise you) without consequence, and that the narratives around America, which basically turned the world's rapist and murderer into a hero or something (nothing new, just the new head of Western civilization, after the UK, France and Germany bombed each other into irrelevance), are quickly being destroyed by reality.

Of course, most of the world understood this inherently because they were Western victims, but heads of state (and everyone under them in the power structure, including media companies) had to acquiesce or else... now, not so much.
