Objectively speaking, the US nuking itself would solve a lot of the world's problems.

Mostly I'm just being flippant as a way to cope with a very real fear that I am going to die.

It wouldn't solve the world's problems. It would simply make China the preeminent superpower, and cause a horrific environmental (and humanitarian) disaster.

The US empire is an ongoing environmental and humanitarian disaster.

You can replace US empire with human civilization and the same would be true. American Exceptionalism is just as bad in a negative way as it is when its positive exceptionalism.
