That'll be a blessing in disguise, as America failed to handle its position as the "top dog"; and the natural course is a downward trend, that occurred to all previous hegemonies in the past.

And I don't see the American government as oppressive. Instead, it's American business that's oppressive, which uses the government as its tool.
