> Not everyone is interested in across-the-board reduction of government power. I understand it appears to be your view, but you need to be careful to treat that as another political position, not as a global constant.

It kinda depends on what you mean by "across-the-board reduction of government power." I do believe that everyone is interested in peace. And justice. And creativity. And hope. And being able to relax and do what they want.

And even if government isn't in opposition to these things in every case, empire certainly is. And people recognize that.

So yes, deprecating the American Empire is something that enjoys very broad support; certain aspects enjoy consensus.

While 'No Empire' seems to be a Good Thing, in general, if the question was instead, "Which country should lead the global Empire if not America?" I wonder what the survey results would be.
