It’s up to us to make the society we want to. The US need fear no other country, it’s probably the most secure nation in history right now.
So they could be free to conduct any social experiment.
- LatteLazy 6y agoIf the social experiment is to throw away all the guns, close the military, dismantle the economy and all go live in the forest, how will the US STILL be the most powerful nation?
- Synaesthesia 6y agoWell that’s quite the hypothetical. Why would they do that? I think even with a tiny army it will enjoy security. That’s what it had prior to WW2. But the US still controls about 50 percent of the global corporate wealth. That’s an enormous amount of control. It’s got full control of both oceans which surround it, it’s not really vulnerable to any land based attack either.
