So I haven’t logged into this app for three months and started to giggle so hard when post after post I’m seeing people realizing the incredible impact neoliberal policies and bidenomics have had on this country. To brighten your day, a lovely impression from Lucile Bluth, imitating our policy makers wrt inflation. https://youtu.be/Nl_Qyk9DSUw

Once a population can vote benefits for itself at the expense of others, it is doomed. It’s the reason that only net positive tax payers and property owners should be permitted to vote. If you have no skin in the game, why should you have a say in how the game is played?

We were done when good ol’ Ronnie came along dribbling his soup thinking that it would be a good idea to let the uber rich basically do anything they want because it would somehow benefit the country, and the 99.9% of the country that isn’t insanely wealthy didn’t just laugh at him.

Democracy is doomed because our representatives have gerrymandered districts that no longer represents the will of the people

And we have nearly half the population who will gladly abandon democracy for a monarch, as long that monarch destroys the other half.

Say you have no understanding of history without saying you have no understanding of history.
OP, all empires are transitory and it has nothing to do with socialism. They have lifespans like any living organism does. You can see rise and declines in biology as well and on pretty much any imaginable topic that exists in this universe. It’s like a law of physics. It is 100% guaranteed the US will decline in terms of its power and influence. Somebody else will take its place. And then they will eventually decline as well. Been happening since Babylon

Also, as someone else noted…you don’t have to be an empire or super powerful to have a happy populace.

If people are incentivized to stay home and not work, the system breaks down.

I agree the US is doomed, but not for the reason you think.
Visual Storyteller
Mostly it's because of patently false opinions (like what OP posted) that have bled into the conservative zeitgeist and allowed a bunch of corrupt charlatans to sieze power in a country that never stopped giving incredibly small rural groups outsized political influence.
Are most other democratic countries still doing fine? The US is the outlier. We’re the example warning story for limited party rule, guns, populism, health care, candidate-based voting, expensive higher ed, etc.
Yeah we really collapsed in the years following The New Deal...

Dramatic much? The US isn’t collapsing in our lifetimes…

I’m okay shifting to Rome circa 0-100AD vibes
Military might isn’t a growth driver or stability creator for the US. We’re past large scale war without global destruction.
Military investment is one of the few leapfrog channels we have bc the govt + capitalism we have in its current form isn’t free market, but monopolistic, where companies can bleed the profit out vs innovate to survive.
Current capitalism is structured for rewards flowing to the top, where a hard working person may see mild benefits and are indoctrinated to believe they’ve achieved what they deserved for their contributions, while also believing increased labor cost would cost their job. The reality we could shift in plenty of ways and still get investment with relatively more going to the bottom. This happened for a long time pre-stock incentives in their current state.
I’m fairly convinced that shifting to a post-growth mindset of modified capitalism that improves worker value capture, reduces monopolistic forces, and targets net improvement of quality of life from transit to housing to insurance to education will create greater economic productivity. How? More educated workers > more innovation > greater value creation > more value to be captured at all levels > more $ to spend and invest, and so on with a virtuous cycle.

Is that what you think is happening?
