American hegemony is already in the process of collapsing. It is not about preventing it any more, only about how quickly America chooses to halt it, or not. I'm betting not.

Why not speed up the collapse? That would Effectively Accelerate our current timeline.
Quick collapse, slow collapse, the results will be vastly different, I think, with other parties taking advantage of the chaos whichever degree it will be.

Our timeline is moving on with or without the US. Electrification is going to happen, the US will just slow down how fast the number will go up. The world isn't reliant on US innovation anymore I imagine so it'll go up regardless.

Well mainly because it sucks living under the Trump Administration, even if supporting them is objectively the most accelerationist move.
ever get the feeling all of it is just giant rugpulls, one after the other?
