I’m not in the US. Will try answer your questions though.
Do you see analogies between America’s situation now, and Russia after imperialism or after communism (or even, potentially, after Putin)?
Not really. What analogies do you mean?
Would you want to go all the way to the Bobby Fischer solution—whites back to Europe, blacks back to Africa (and implicitly everyone else back to their homelands), hand the American continent back to the indigenous peoples? Or is the rise of progressivism an appropriate response, perhaps analogous to the rise of communism in 20th-century Russia?
I think the rise of progressivism is a good response, yeah. And it seems much less dangerous than Russian communism.
Also, if American civilization and/or European colonialism had never existed, are there good, important, even crucial features of our present world, that might never have existed as well?
I think if European colonialism had restricted itself to conquering and ruling, as most other empires did, and didn’t go for so much extermination and mass enslavement—then most good things about the present world would still have existed, and many other good things would have existed as well that don’t currently exist.
