The empire sent the brutality abroad and thought it had kept "the good part." It kept the rot.

They exported the brutality.
They kept the dividends.
And for a while, a long, comfortable, self-congratulatory while, it worked.
The living standards rose.
The suburbs expanded.
The malls opened.
The television got bigger.
The credit got cheaper.
The supermarket added another aisle.
Nobody asked where it came from.
That was the arrangement.
You don't ask where it comes from and we won't make you watch.
But here is what they didn't tell you:
Plunder is not a sustainable economic model.
It is a loan taken against the future, against the periphery, against the ecosystems, against the people whose resources were extracted and whose labor was cheapened to keep your prices low.
And loans come due.
The rot you see now in Western institutions, the hollowed-out political parties, the captured media, the universities producing debt and credentials instead of thought, the infrastructure falling apart while the defense budget grows, this is not decay from outside.
This is the bill.
The empire sent the brutality abroad and thought it had kept "the good part."
It kept the rot.
The brutality was always coming home.
It just took a few generations to arrive.
