    And it’s fucking our country so bad that we won’t be a world power in 20 years

    Unfortunately, I very much doubt that. Look at Russia, it’s even worse than the USA AND has a far worse economy, yet it’s still a major power.

      Holy shit, do we have a copypasta comm on Lemmy? That reply you got is brilliant, especially the beginning:

      I would sincerely love to talk about the dynamics of America’s collapse as it is a special interest of mine, but this is lemmy and no rational discussion survives for more than 10 minutes so please understand when I make this statement, I’m not having a discussion. I am making a point, and ignoring all replies to it.

      Love it.

      The difference between America and the U.S.S.R.'s collapse is that the majority of manufacturing, data infrastructure, wealth, trade ports, and cultural cultural centers are in overwhelmingly blue areas which have access to their own military and militias. The fascists won’t be getting the whole country, they won’t even be getting the good parts of the country either. When it comes to outside aid as well, blue areas have the advantage as the two biggest salt water ports in the nation are in strongly blue zones, and I guarantee the fascists won’t be getting aid from most of Europe. We saved a lot of countries and now they know it’ll be time to pay that back.

      It will be bloody and senseless and will last around ten years. And I hope to fuck this time they don’t fumble fucking Reconciliation. All traitors must hang or we will just get another crop next year.

      And this could ALL have been prevented if you fuckers had just handled Gamergate for the joke like it was instead of catapulting it to international consciousness. If you want to know where all the MAGA rats came from, and where they learned to manipulate media? Bannon and his assholes cut their teeth on Gamergate and now we have fascism

      The fucking hilarious part is that all of you coming after who will argue this obvious point because you are bored and like to see yourselves type.

        lol. iamverysmart.

        Seriously dude, look up epistemic humility. Will things be bad in the future? Yes, in some ways. Will things be good in the future? Yes, in some ways. What ways? I don’t know. No one knows. That’s how time works. If I’m going to take you seriously, post your polymarket track record that shows you outperforming everyone else. Until then, you’re just a doomer jerking off to the apocalypse.
