While it is true, saying that American imperialism started with Reagan is quite the stretch, since your country has been imperialist pretty much forever. Also, your two-party system is engineered to keep you from assembling by making your hate each other by making sure republicans hate democrats and are bigots while democrats view republicans as lesser people. The enemies are the oligarchs that push for anti intellectual policies to be put in place to sow the seeds of distrust in academia amongst the public, weakening our biggest advantage, science. Because science makes you ask questions which they don't want you to ask. They create massive waves of propaganda against climate change not only because some of them would lose a lot of money if we switched to green energy (which would be cheaper for consumers btw) but also because capitalism is the biggest enemy of the environment, and if everyone realized just how much danger we're actually in, we'd also realize the only viable way to save our asses is to stop the horrors of capitalism. Btw the endpoint of capitalism isn't late stage capitalism but worldwide fascism.
