Totally agree with you, but I’d like to add that the “Third-Worldist Declinism” phenomenon is not only limited to “critics” of superpowers, it also appears in “critics” of powerful people/institutions within any state; Can’t find a job? Blame the state, it should be reformed. Someone is wealthy? It must be corruption.. This mindset of projecting personal failures onto the authority or the wealthy is a cancer in every society.
