Quote HistoryQuoted: Very clearly, TSHTF already. Especially economically. With the currency in further decline, soon an average house will cost a million. What do you call that? A million of what most incorrectly call "dollars". |

Humans will slowly extinct themselves as a result of their hubris and ignorance. We are an arrogant, egomaniacal species whose days are numbered. Intra-mutation is already occurring. Just a matter of generations now.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If the Uniparty gets the amnesty for the illegals then it's over with. That isn't just a possibility with Biden, Neocon Niki would also do it. That will hand the Democrats the Whitehouse and Congress in perpetuity. Realistically if the mass deportations don't happen the amnesty will be inevitable. the whole illegal immigrant thing is a red herring, an irrelevancy. There are fundamental problems in the economic engine, it's on fire and the 'illegals' are used as scapegoats to distract public's attention from the real issues. As long as the Federal Reserve System exists, US will be in deep debt due to its unlimited credit expansion. and deep national debt means your standard of living will be reduced, there is a long and complicated link but suffice it to say it's there. The above means the currency losing purchasing power by the hour. Probably won't hyperinflate but look at prices of everything increasing 30-40% in the last several years. That's the start. That, ad infinitum means the currency is toast, long term. That's why NOBODY will question Federal Reserve System's supremacy, Trump included. If he wanted to fight the "System", he would have fought it, first of all. The central bank and it's unlimited paper emissions. But nobody talks about it, the need for it. The FRS idea is a dead idea, it's not needed. Money is a commodity and has existed before the FRS, does not need the FRS to exist anymore than you need 10mm 3/8" drive sockets to exist. It's not that the interest policy is wrong, the whole idea of currency creating out of thin air is wrong. It just does not make any sense. That's the big picture and then ask yourself in the upcoming 2024 election if anyone raises these fundamental issues. |

Quoted: 2024 is here. The USA is 34 trillion in debt it can't repay. Millions of illegal aliens are flooding into the country monthly, all the government including (R) wants them here. BRICS is going to cause issues for the dollar. The middle east is on fire. The USA's military power is waning. The economy has issues, inflation is high. China is more and more militant. The list goes on and on. Is 2024 when America Falls? 4 Or is it all just DOOM and everything is ok?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMFXwKbraI Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire (Official HD Video) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Only if we choose to overthrow it. Seems easy, huh? What happens to your acquired wealth if a group overthrows the current gov? Does the dollar stay intact? Who does the military fight and report to? And then what happens when China attacks or supports a side? A Civil War might be the end and is pretty stupid to consider. Our enemies have been working hard for decades to make it happen. If a Civil War breaks out China will go to Taiwan, NK with Chinas help will roll in S Korea. And what help will Europe be? They can barely support Ukraine. Japan will help, but how long will they last while the US eats itself? How many of our shipyards or munition factories would stay operational during a civil war? Then will Canada help? More like they will feed Chinese troops in from our northern border, with a Civil War we see the collapse of the Dollar and China becomes the economic powerhouse of the world. Then China gets trade agreements with Mexico while we eat ourselves. A US Civil War would be the best thing to ever happen for China and her Allies. And who is to say that once a unified command is lost, what stops them from taking out our nuke launch capabilities. Once that is lost we are fucked. And somewhere in this Civil War, what happens if they get control of a nuke and launch against China or Russia? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Look! Another Doomer thread. Yes Mad Max times upon us. Stack Food, bullets, water, etc. We are fucked. Not going that far it if you don’t think things will get sporty this year your head is in the sand. I expect to see organized chaos this summer leading up to the elections. The Dems are going to have to do something to hopefully ensure widespread mail-in voting or some other non in person voting to keep their voting machine working. I also expect to see major riots November 6th. However you look at it one side is going to be pissed off, and we know what happened when Trump was elected last time, now it will be x1000, and if Biden wins well we know it will be another stolen election and I just don’t see how there won’t be protesters and riots? The left has spent allot of their resources painting conservatives as the danger to America today, whether conservatives do anything or not plans are in place to make it happen and blame the right. I’m not sure of what plan they have but there are no plans to hand over anything, in fact I see a full blown attempt at making the senate, house and Oval Office blue anyway they can, however they can. |

OK fellas, I’ll give you some unpopular truths. Please feel free to poke holes in them and prove to me that America is falling.
Ours is the most powerful civilization in the history of the world. I’m but 1 of its common citizens in a state that most Americans probably can’t find on a map, I am not rich by any means but……I have more firepower, books, salt, spices, oils, tools, clothing, gear, cookware, appliances, fine cuts of meat, flour, sugar, Tabasco Sauce, charcoal, wine and whiskey from across the nation in my home right now in quantities that nobody before me in my family has ever had. My house has 6 ceiling fans and 5 refrigerators. I can safely travel across the nation by car, train, boat, and plane cheaply any time I choose to. My home has temperature controlled clean water in several places available with the touch of a hand. Temperature control is so common that we now have phones that control our thermostats, and most of us have no idea where the fuel comes from that heats their homes. We have more of everything than anybody who has ever lived. And, we’re also badasses that can move and fight at the drop of hat if we should ever have to defend our women and firesides. Nobody is close guys. We are it. We’re at the top and we are still accelerating. This is the truth, and it doesn’t depend on who the president is. It depends on us continuing to advance. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: America fell when the north won the civil war. That cemented federal government control of our country over states rights. "The switch in time that saved Nine," is my vote. Or NSC-48, which made the sort of merely supervisory but small federal government, a thing of the past. Plus post 9/11 actions which have made D.C. the Imperial City. Lots to pick from, and it's entirely likely that January 7, 2024 will seem like a Golden Age to chroniclers ten years from now, as January 7, 1994 seems now. |

Such greatness ! A few short years guns were confiscated, later the SS was dragging people out and shooting them, and foreign militaries bombing your neighborhood into rubble, history is filled with examples of great civilizations who quickly went from hot, to not, very quickly. Make no mistake, the USA passed “ hot “ decades ago, and is quickly sinking into “ not”. Idiocracy as a movie was funny, your country adopting it as a how to manual, very not so much so. % wise, the future generations, including yours, and your kids, will have worse standards of living than your parents had, the days of each generation % wise / increasing having “ better lives” than their parents before them is over, now each generation that % will decrease every generation, with fewer and fewer having the same, much less better, while more and more have less. Less freedom, less money, less buying power, less opportunities, less peace, less safety, etc. You don’t know how badly it hurts me to say this, I take zero pleasure in it, it fills me with a mix of great sadness / rage honestly at what my country is becoming. |

It's amazing how both liberals and conservatives
think America has magic dirt and is naturally bound to be wealthy, completely discounting the human element that led to our rise. It's not just the geography or the resources, it's the people that inhabit it. The avg American today has zero resemblance to the Americans of even 50 years ago. This is the most entitled country in the world and we consume far more than we produce. Apparently it's some doomer fantasy to believe it's not sustainable. America is like an entitled rich kid born into a wealthy family getting heavy into drugs and blowing all his inheritance with very few skills or character but you're crazy if you think he's going to wind up as a broke failure once he's on his own and his parents are no longer there to support him. I think a lot of the optimists live in rural areas where there still are some old fashion values and haven't witnessed the massive demographic and cultural shifts that have occurred firsthand yet. But rest assured, in the population centers the cultural rot is out of control. |
