Post-hegemony, the sun sets

A Tracker of the Waning Order and Emerging Convergences

This is the landing space for material documenting the transition from a U.S.-led hegemonic world order to an emerging, uncertain, and multipolar reality. What comes after empire may not be brighter—but it will be different.

We gather here threads: military maneuvers masked as defense, economic fragmentation in real time, rhetorical shifts, institutional decay, and the quiet rise of regional blocs and countercurrents. Each fragment contributes to a larger mosaic of transformation—sometimes welcome, often dangerous.

The global order has for the last 80 years been built on American supremacy. America is unraveling — slowly, unevenly, and not without resistance. What comes next remains unclear. But the illusions of permanence are breaking.

This space will gather signals from the edges:

  • fractures in imperial narratives
  • realignments in global power
  • shifts in language, allegiance, and resistance
  • moments when the myth cracks and something raw, real, or new seeps through

It is not prophecy. It is pattern recognition.
It is not celebration. It is witness.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However…
  • It will almost certainly work until it breaks,
    though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.
  • If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
  • As for what you don’t like, it’s yours to do with as you will.
  • If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
  • My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
