Domination feels normal because empire trained us to see hierarchy as common sense. These patterns aren’t “history.” They’re a lineage — one we’re watching return in real time.

Empire is saying the quiet part out loud. The Doctrine of Discovery, the Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny — these aren’t relics. They’re the backbone of how power has worked for centuries, and we’re watching their resurgence in real time.

The quiet part is being said out loud. Trump’s new strategy document literally revives the Monroe Doctrine — an open claim to dominate the Western Hemisphere. It’s patriarchy’s logic in full view: us vs. them, fear as governance, endless war as stability.

They do not care about authority. They do not care about the rule of law. They only care about themselves and the power they think they have.

I’m no war expert, but yes these are my sentiments too. Not to mention dismantling the rest of the federal government’s emergency response operations. Last time I checked natural disasters and climate disasters don’t stop during wars right @rebelfema.altgov.info?
So, um, good luck America.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
