America is Fucked
"The Unraveling of America
Anthropologist Wade Davis on how COVID-19 signals the end of the American era"
https://www.rollingstone.com/pol…
p.s. so yeah, maybe you guys post more stuff like this and discuss it, instead of dumb memes and idiotic images for low-life 'muricah stuff?
Actually nobody wants to see the US turn before our eyes from the most developed country in the world into a shithole country in under 4 years and counting...
- speak for yourself i am happy with every state crumbling. they are obsolete.renderedred
- America was fucked for so many serious reasons, what we see today is just the result of the fuckery accumulated.grafician
- america is one big pyramid scheme. it's time to pay the bills.renderedred
- @render We are all connected, a failed state of this magnitude affects all others. Ripples in a pond mate...grafician
- Also posting shit memes of Florida men fighting alligators or Karens is just avoiding the real issues. Discuss the real issues - if you're actually interestedgrafician
- in my view all states and especially nation states should go away. they are just a burden on all of us (connected).renderedred
- Also there's no anti-America sentiment, we're just stunned on how low the low gets by now...grafician
- they are an 18/19 century relic by now.renderedred
- Speaking from an interested foreigner povgrafician
- i am not anti-american as in people. but america as an empire. burn that mofo.renderedred
- Oh and yeah, if we all foreigners would post all the crazy stuff ppl do right here locally, America would not be #1 anymore in a thread like this...grafician
- @render No more states? Funny guy...grafician
- LOL i live in the middle east, crazy shit daily...renderedred
- ^I live in Eastern Europe, tell me about it...grafician
- yeah. lots of people laugh at my opinion about states.renderedred
- I agree, our speck of dust hurling through the empty cosmos is way too small and insignificant for divisions and infighting, we need a single world order_niko
- With ai in charge for the benefit of all mankind_niko
- i'm with @niko, information based society is the future.renderedred
- imagine some code of loving grace managing our natural resources, tackling global warming, comparing and analyzing all human knowledge...renderedred
- imagine a world with no hunger for example...renderedred
- with same standards of education for everyone... for starters.renderedred
- You guys took it too far - the regular American has no clue, barely knowing who to vote for in the next election - that could change everything in the f worldgrafician
- I hope people in NY start to learn we're doing ok without the Fed. So, we can secede from this country. Hopefully others will follow.CyBrainX
- I'm all for the idea of devolving states but I think people would need to embrace the idea of more global cooperation, less tribalism...yuekit
- ...giving people greater freedom to live and work where they want, in other words exactly what everyone seems to be against right now.yuekit
- Isn't an end but a decline to a sustainable, more realistic level. This will ease on the polarized balance of power in the world.sted
- #yuekit, one of the problems, tribalism, nationality, patriotism and even religion, all that should be erased from education to begin with and only thenrenderedred
- after two generations we may see positive results, meaning you want to be jewish, muslim, black, green or even a junkie, sure, your personal choice, nothing torenderedred
- nothing to do with society. your freedom of choice 100%.renderedred
- and with no states to fuel that shit it would be possible. i know i sound utopian and i rarely voice these opinions. ppl always laugh when i say stuff like thisrenderedred
- /commi rantrenderedred
- @render in a "commi" country there is no polarised pov, it's the party or...nothing else, never joke with these things my mangrafician
- Well you know communism like most isms can mean a million different things to different people...yuekit
- Anyway the fact that we can have a random discussion like this from different corners of the globe...an Israeli, a Romanian and a HKer-American in my case...yuekit
- ..sounds like the punchline to a joke is coming here but I think this is at least a small example of progress towards a more globalized, less nationalist world.yuekit
- Getting back to the article though I think any analysis of America’s decline needs to take into account the debt and end of dollar hegemony...yuekit
- This is what could (eventually) lead to it all crashing down...yuekit

I know many of you can't point Belarus on the map. There is a revolution happening there right now. I was glued to my screen all day, following the near live broadcast on Telegram https://t.me/nexta_live Considering internet is blocked.
The majority of my dev team is in Belarus. They are on the streets now, defending their freedom.

- Her husband is in jail now. he was one of the candidates. She replaced him.zaq
- Lukașenko "won" his 6th term - imagine Trump winning President for 6 times...grafician
- She got 2/3 of all the votes on polling stations that allowed election observerszaq
- @zaq ofc, ppl down there had enoughgrafician

America is Fucked
^
Excerpt from the article posted before:
"Evidence of such terminal decadence is the choice that so many Americans made in 2016 to prioritize their personal indignations, placing their own resentments above any concerns for the fate of the country and the world, as they rushed to elect a man whose only credential for the job was his willingness to give voice to their hatreds, validate their anger, and target their enemies, real or imagined.
One shudders to think of what it will mean to the world if Americans in November, knowing all that they do, elect to keep such a man in political power. But even should Trump be resoundingly defeated, it’s not at all clear that such a profoundly polarized nation will be able to find a way forward. For better or for worse, America has had its time."
So yeah, there you have it...doesn't get clearer than this. Act accordingly.

White trump-supporting father-in-law went to a black BBQ last night and got stabbed “for being white”. I’m gonna guess he was shooting his mouth off or something because he’s not the most socially aware person i know. And wtf were you doing at a party?

Do yourselves a favour, kids, and rinse/air dry the shaker you used for your whey protein shake immediately. And don't leave it un-rinsed and closed for two days at room temperature because you forgot about it.
