I am very curious to see how US, the fascist dog of Israel will react to that. More taxes?

Saying that USSR didn't extract wealth from other countries in the block, treating them as colonies is a huge stretch. All the political control was crntralized in Moskow, Russia promoted a vast resource extraction, specially from Ukraine, imposed language suppression, cultural assimilation and demographic engineering e.g. Holodomor.
Neither is US. The empire reference is related to the imperialist state policies. Not the same but similar to that was the policies of USSR with other countries of the Soviet block and what Kzar Putin is trying to do with th Baltic's today.
Your point of view about the Glasnost, Perestroika and consequently the dissolution seems more from the structuralist point of view (which is valid and revelvant for the dissolution), while my argument is more from the economic point of view.
In a very pragmatic way, the closed economy model of USSR imposed many of the issues that deepened the structural problems (like you mentioned) and accelerated the dissolution. Based on Gorbachev own opinion, the Chernobyl disaster was the start of the dissolution: combination of a repressive internal policy creating a fertile environment for corruption, burocracy and inneficiency, together with an outdated industry caused by isolationism.
US seems to be doing the same: closing its economy, negationism, losing diplomatic relevance, ...
Although a completely imbecile, Elon is right in one point: there is only one party in US right now, and it is not even remotely aligned with what the Americans need/desire. Same type of structural corrosion that brought the Soviet block to dissolution.
Along of it history, yes. During its dissolution, unless I am missing something, there was no fight.
What about an initiative for compulsory better parenthood? Could we vote for that instead?
After helping Israel with the Palestinian genocide. Such a great america company! I think we should trust them recording our screens to train a "personal ai".
Full of HR and "ass kissers" glorifying the work class exploitation as a "way of life". Pure sewage.
Social media as we know.
It is not a matter to "want to hide". It is more a matter to "need to know" access to my personal information. Why government want to know where and when I buy my stuffs? And most important, who will have acces to that? US recently saw that imbecile of Elon Musk being grant access to IRS data.
Does US wants a new 9/11? Because this is how they get a new 9/11.
Now they will finance more terrorist groups, betray them, wait until they kill innocent US people so they can keep pushing to get 2tri budget to defend the "free world".
