Been an American in America for 4 decades. From my perspective American decline is undeniable. It is simple fact.
Largely because we can’t connect the dots and accept that we should be focusing on the class war, not the culture war, because that’s the root of the problem. A lot of the hate and ignorance in America comes from desperation. We’re desperate because we aren’t losing, we’ve lost, a class war.
In my opinion the election that just happened was the nail in the coffin. We came together and the majority of us decided to let our oligarchs assume total control. It was a signal to them that they’re good to be open about it now, too.
Well said. We have indeed lost. Perhaps we can wipe the slate clean and start anew. I fear even if we did that though, there’s enough of the population that would prefer the old way that something better could never come to fruition.
Perhaps we can wipe the slate clean and start anew.
History indicates that to do so will require a lot of time, violence, and death. And without a plan in place for what comes afterwards, we’d just end up with another shitty system.

RIP to the middle class.
