For sure! That dumb shit loser George WMD Bush kicked that shit off into high gear after Reagan, Daddy Bush, and Weirdo Clinton ruined our global standing.

Fuck the elites and their shitshow.

Edit: BTW what we have isn’t capitalism it’s psycho capitalism. Basically the wrong people are in charge. ELITES. Shit bags. Losers. Black sheep fucks. Communism has that too. The reality is nothing works if it’s corrupt so arguing that capitalism vs communism are the problem is myopic as fuck. Shut up. It’s not either or. It’s corruption and shit bag elites who DIDNT EARN THEIR PLACES.

twisted28,

The fact the 1%/capitalists chose to drive us off the climate cliff shows they don’t have the intelligence needed to run the world.

SupraMario,

Yes because the communist countries have been leaders in green technology…

twisted28,

Yea because the US hasn’t gone around stomping out communism the past 100 years. So many communist countries to choose from. Not the Dictators posing as communist either. Bootlick much?

SupraMario,

Ah yes dirty capitalist… it’s all their fault…I remember WWII vs Russia and China and how we won…

swag_money,
Ayumu_Tsukasa,

Why is the only other option communism?

SupraMario,

Because your other options require some form of capitalism…

Eldritch,

Say all the bad things you like about China. For a long while they were pumping out greenhouse gases and pollutants at a rate unseen before. Toxic Hazes descended on the cities. And people had to stay inside for their health.

Suddenly though in recent years. A lot of that has started to change. They’re adopting renewable energy, far more readily than even the United States and making drastic progress. While we waffle on dancing for capitalist and fascist. I have no desire to implement the sort of political structure China has. Nor is China communist in any meaningful sense. But your comment is wildly uneducated.

SupraMario,

They’re building 6 new coal plants… please show me how they’re the bastion of green energy again.

Eldritch,

How does that negate any of what I said? Hell it’s possible to be more environmentally friendly by replacing old polluting coal plants with slightly cleaner newer ones. Regardless, it doesn’t change the fact that they are actually investing it heavily in renewables as well. Whereas in America we’ve got a bunch of dumbasses arguing that windmills give you cancer etc etc etc.

SupraMario,

Lol what the fuck…and Chinas standard for building stuff has almost 0 of the safety and environmental standards the rest of the developed world has.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I sure hope so. can it end NOW please? I am so done.

GutsBerserk,

The problem is billionaires will squeeze every last drop out of everything before the inevitable kaboom

crandlecan,

Yes, absolutely

Pons_Aelius,

Maybe but also factor in that people have been predicting the downfall of the USA since the 1960s.

Jesus's return tour has been delayed since the year 1000. I don't listen to the doomsayers. While I see the traditional American lifestyle ending there won't be a hard collapse. Cities are already evolving and the rural areas whose conservative values helped cause this mess are dying.

crandlecan,

Thoughts and prayers

GutsBerserk,

Absolutely. In the video, he comments on that . Downfalls can take decades or even centuries of bad decisions.

Pons_Aelius,

That is why I doubt there will be a catastrophic fall for decades to come.

The USSR ended in 1991 and the russian federation, while still in a downward spiral, has not fallen yet. If not for the Ukraine was it would likely have continued for a long time.

maccentric,

I think environmental catastrophe might accelerate that timetable

the_q,

Yes and those people were right. Speaking frankly, it’s falling apart. People don’t really think of it that way because the Colts are still playing, Taco Bell is open and Taylor Swift is touring. The circus is ever going, but the bread is starting to mold.

crandlecan,

And look how it went…

Is the USA worse off than in the 1960s?

crandlecan,

I’d say so

You must not be a minority or a woman or lgbtq or sick or poor or on the roadways or on a plane…etc
