America dominance on the world is ending, it's a fact. East Asia is at least on par, India is china from 25 years ago.
It's becoming more obvious every day. And yeah, people in 1910 watched Europe dominate the world for about 1500 years. Yet it came to an end.
If you want to Speedrun the collapse, vote for trump. He sure is making a good job right now with diplomacy, lack of long term planning and just getting all your allies to hate you.
- fooqux 1mo agoI'm just not sure what to do. What the US is turning into is incredibly sad and I wish I could leave.
- Gerard18Aug 1mo agoJust pick up and leave. Literally. And do not feel bad about it. Also ignore other people opinions. There is like a dozen of places to go to. The easiest? UAE freelancer visa. Yes I know, I know: "... but but the drones! The collapse!" It's all BS. When / if something happens there – go to Panama. Then Costa Rica. You are not alone on this route - but only if you really committed to your freedom. If not - just sit there and vote democrats. LOL.
- drivebyhooting 1mo agoThat’s no way to live. How can you ever have a family or be part of a community? And what’s your plan for when you’re old?

- fooqux 1mo agoWhy would I want to move to an objectively more subjugated place? Besides that, you say to just pick up and leave as if it were that easy. And I suppose if I followed your advice, it could be. Get a divorce, not care about the kids (sorry, but I'm not bringing my daughters there), ignore the fact my parents are in their 80s, server all my friendships, likely end my career. Not all freedoms are good. Or rather some bindings, like family and other loved ones, are worth it.
- inigyou 1mo agoI think this got flagged for the hyperbolic tone but you are directionally correct and I vouched this because I believe more people need to see it. Yes, leaving is hard. So is living under fascism. Do it anyway. You have a community? Bring the community. Yes it's very hard and not always possible. You have to try hard. Your other morally correct option is to stand and fight.
- mcmcmc 1mo agoMoving on from being a unipolar power does not necessitate societal collapse. The UK is still around and their empire fell a long time ago. > If you want to Speedrun the collapse, vote for trump. This nonsense needs to stop. You can’t vote for him again unless he deigns to run for a lower office (unlikely). Term limits are real. America needs to start planning for the post-Trump era and hopefully mitigate further damage with a blue wave in the midterms. Or with non-MAGA republicans who might even return to actual fiscal conservatism.
- kshri24 1mo ago> The UK is still around and their empire fell a long time ago. America is not an Empire. When America collapses it will definitely lead to societal collapse. The racial tensions are kept under control only because of the mirage of prosperity and equal opportunity. And when the mirage clears it will turn real ugly really fast. > hopefully mitigate further damage with a blue wave in the midterms. Or with non-MAGA republicans who might even return to actual fiscal conservatism. I don't think it is possible to fix this as it is a systemic issue. Irrespective of whether the next President is from D or R. All of the elite at the top know that it is a sinking ship, primarily due to the insane debt that has accumulated. There is absolutely no way to clear it the way it is going. Once AI bubble pops that is when downfall accelerates.

Puerto Rico is still in essence a colony. > When America collapses it will definitely lead to societal collapse.

You say that like you want it to happen. Continuing to harp on that future is a self fulfilling prophecy. If you want a better America first you have to envision it instead of tearing it down.
- kshri24 1mo ago> You say that like you want it to happen. It has already started [1]. It has increased 100% since 2015. Just in the past decade alone. This is only reported hate crimes. > If you want a better America first you have to envision it instead of tearing it down. That ship has sailed long ago. > American imperialism is well documented. We have military outposts all over the world. Puerto Rico is still in essence a colony. Still not an Empire. You can call it an outward expansion or projection of power but not direct control. An Empire has direct control over colonies that send back tributes which run the Kingdom and give its residents prosperity, at the expense of residents of colonies who are taxed and deprived of their wealth. The tributes outweigh whatever growth is happening within the Kingdom itself. Puerto Rico or any of the military outposts are not equivalent. Puerto Rico does not run USA. USA losing Puerto Rico will not do anything to its economic or military power.
