I understand why you see things this way, but the empire is not "white" nor "American." It is simply the empire of money--a zero-sum game of arithmetic that, like any Monopoly game, inexorably results in the concentration of wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands. Call it corporate oligarchy, if you will. Still, choose your oligarchs carefully. Which would you prefer--Putin, Xi, or Biden? Only one of them would allow you to say whatever you wish without arresting you. Can you guess which one?
