11 – The difficulty of distance

12 – The US shift towards global empire was a bad move

13 – Mass incarceration, slave labour, and similar brutalities

16 – Religion was hijacked to serve the regime.

17 – Americans’ image of their country’s democracy was too unquestioning

18 – US allies abroad, particularly in Europe, never really tried to help

19 – The regime accelerated the country’s demise by expanding its use of violence.

Why the US Collapsed

And no, I'm under no illusion this one move will fix everything. The problem with the US goes way beyond Trump. He is just a symptom of a long-term decline. Still, it is a necessary - if not sufficient - step.

Main points:

1 – Impunity at the top had devastating consequences.

2 – The presidency became more like a monarchy.

3 – White supremacy was central to the fall of the US.

4 – For decades, the US had been a country plagued with violence, especially gun violence.

5 – The rise of the security state.

6 – The increasing political focus on upping anti-immigrant sentiment

7 – Wealth disparities in the US grew to extreme levels

I'm writing the post-mortem of the 24h outage of matrix.org, and I'm learning so much from our SRE team.

I think I'm going to make "reading public post-mortems" a new hobby of mine. What are good sources to find interesting ones?
