being a pilgrim of the American religion, I assert American exceptionalism

but exceptional is not immortality

the Eagle is not a Phoenix

Neil Armstrong was not a god, just a man, a sailor in fact

you can see the corrosive effects of the poor education system none the less

"Egypt was a Hegemon" : stupidity

"America will rise like a Phoenix" : superstition

neither of those characteristics put America on the Moon

If you want to make your own definition and play at pedantry via etymology, then be my guest. Hegemony is not an idea restricted to your chosen region.

Hegemony (UK: /hɪˈɡɛməni, hɪˈdʒɛməni/, US: /hɪˈdʒɛməni/ (About this soundpronunciation (help·info)) or /ˈhɛdʒəˌmoʊni/) is the political, economic, or military predominance or control of one state over others.[1][2][3][4][5]

Egypt completely dominated the known world for millennia, and rose from the ashes of Collapse even stronger than before - ergo, a hegemon by any name.

without context anything can mean anything

those who understand Hegemon is an entirely Greek Western paradigm will simply roll on without you

If you require it, we can elect to use a different term for regional/global powers, using the language of your preference. The concept is the same, regardless.

no comment, I've made my point, moving on

[Smitty-48]

the nature of a Hegmonic downfall is generally that the Hegemons become divorced from their own culture

in this case the Communists have erased the central narrative of the West and supplanted it with relativism

the fault was not with the F-35 nor the GAU-22 gun

the fault was with the ammunition, the ammo exploded prematurely under the jet

the cartridge was a PGU-32/B SAPHEI-T made by General Dynamics
