Exactly. An empire falling is only really bad for those in power. For those of us that aren't, collapse is a chance for us to assert our own authority.
Thing is, we need to preconfigure the society we want to see or else that power vacuum be filled by just a different set of tyrants who seek control over us.
Glad we agree there.
