    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
    • America is a clusterfucki_was
    • end nation states, smaller more localized, ppl focused states with smaller military budgets. That should be the case for all countries for a better future.Beeswax
    • I dont want to live in a country where ignorant people decide for my future. If Turkey divides as an example they will realize how shitty theirBeeswax
    • lives are compared to more progressive cities and states. Or they won't and thats their problem.Beeswax
    • “Most developed country” - based on what exactly?mort_
    • Countries are like inheritence, divide and give everyone their share otherwise problems arise. Of course sharing part will be problematic. But we already haveBeeswax
    • administrative borders for cities and provinces. There shouldnt be much argument there.Beeswax
    • Of course at some point in teh future the heavily militarized one will go and gobble the rest unless there are strong alliences.Beeswax
    • @bees you have a point, in my view smaller self-sufficient communities are the way to go. then interconnect based on knowledge and commerce.renderedred
    • @graf i was joking with /commi stuffrenderedred
    • @yuekit, i said pyramid scheme, the fall from grace will be very painful.renderedred
