Yeah it’s kinda hard for the US to collapse. There’s redundancy in the government. Even if the feds lose control there’s the state government. Seems like economic collapse would have to happen for collapse of anything else
yeah that’s true. I know the government has set up so banks get cheap loans from the reserve so that banks can determine who gets loans and who doesn’t. that seemingly has screwing over more and more people… seems like the population has to be more proactive about collapse or reform of America
That’s bound to happen anyway.
It has always lived beyond their means with the help of the reserve currency which won’t last for long but mostly with vulgar looting and thieving from the rest of the world.
The US is unlike every other developing or even developed nation that has gone through revolution for two huge reasons:
It’s not one big country, it’s 50 smaller countries, each with its own power and systems and elections. If you’re going to collapse a system you have to do it 50 goddamn times perfectly.
Nobody here is even remotely close to an actual “revolution” on either side of the political spectrum. Despite the huge marches and protests and violence the world sees out of the USA right now, the vast majority of the hundreds of millions of people here are mostly tuned out. The economic machine is grinding away harder than ever, and powered by a vast segment of the population who get all their news from 30-minutes of facebook memes on a Sunday night while getting ready for bed.

Well, they’re trying the economic angle too believe me

what people fail to get is that while the USA fucks up, it is pretty good at fixing shit when it does.
a lot of the biggest economic and reform booms in our history were the product of near collapses.
people generally resist change until it’s forced upon them by circumstances like depressions, wars, and oil shocks, etc.
