I dunno guys, I've seen this latest of "ted talk" type of presentations regarding the rise and fall of empires (Dutch to British, British to USA, etc) and how it looks that right now we're in the transfer of power period from America to China.

I dunno guys, I've seen this latest of "ted talk" type of presentations regarding the rise and fall of empires (Dutch to British, British to USA, etc) and how it looks that right now we're in the transfer of power period from America to China.
While many things in that presentation are logical and believable I get the feeling that it's all just predictive programming for us to better accept the transfer to a totalitarian system. I can't take at face value anything that comes with a stamp of approval from the powers that be.
Somehow it seems that America is being actively sabotaged from within and without for at least 50 years (if not more) in order to precipitate this transfer while China is being propped big time.
P.S.: While I do not have strong pro or against feelings regarding the Pax Americana I still think it's better than a Pax China.
American leaders decided to "engage" with China and attempt to make it a liberal democracy by making it wealthy. This was based upon the idea that capitalism leads to liberal democracy and also the idea that liberal democracies don't go to war with themselves.
Of course, this ploy also allowed American oligarchs to solve their labor and regulatory problems in America, so it had a good side benefit. Plus it accelerated the wealth acquisition by the oligarchs.
Unfortunately, it also permanently weakened the American middle class, increased class division, and economic stratification. This resulted in the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements, which for all they came from the left and the right, both had concerns about the power of corporations.
Soon after that we got racial division with Trayvon Martin, then Ferguson, and BLM just in time for Obama's reelection campaign. And then we had the fake Rolling Stone story on UVa and the "war on women" to aid the Hillary campaign.
Woke took off as well. It serves as a class signifier and the rich and powerful to punch down on the lower and middle class.
Perhaps it developed organically, but it seems unlikely. The oligarchs love divide and conquer. And "good leftists" cheer the national security state and large corporations......hmmmm.
