The empire is already here. The US really isn't the empire. It is the power centre of the empire and it's the enforcer of the empire, but it's not the empire. It is one of many states captured by the empire. The empire itself is in the networks of capital and is already supranational. The Black Snake is part of the empire, as is mining, and finance, tech, the arms trade and more. They are all already here. People pit themselves against other nationalities as if it's those people on the other side of the line who are the enemy, as those people mostly try to scrape by in their own lives. Like racism, nationalism is another divisive ideology that keeps people targeting others like themselves, keeping each other down and willing to sacrifice out of fear, all to the benefit of the real empire.
