Part of the reason the US is collapsing today is that everyone has tunnel vision.
Joggers think everyone is a jogger.
Homosexuals think everyone is a homosexual.
Junkies think everyone is a junkie.
Libertarians think everyone is a Libertarian.
Nazis think everyone is a Nazi.
Communists think everyone is a Communist.
If you were taught to love liberty, what do you think when you're told that anyone who loves freedom, peace, and balanced budgets is a nutjob and everyone who loves tyranny, war, and debt is normal?
Americans don't understand that without freedom, there is nothing. There is no reason to live if everything you do will get you arrested, tortured like an animal, killed, and everything you earn can be stolen by the government.
Not only do Americans need to face the normal life problems of sickness, relationship troubles, and money problems, Americans now must face living in a police state like every other country.
The government has gradually taken over everything.
Americans are now dependent on food stamps, Obamacare, and public housing.
Starting a business is illegal.
The government tells people what to wear, what to think, what to eat, and what to do.
Americans don't know history and love their chains. Americans are like rape victims who defend their rapist. Americans are so enslaved today that they justify being beaten by guards because prison guards have hard jobs and make low salaries.
Americans have a very narrow range of freedom now. Americans might think that they have the freedom to go to restaurants or fly a kite, but you can still be arrested because there is no rule of law now.
Americans are just prisoners and must get a SSN and give their fingerprints, photos, and DNA to the government.
Not only is the US is a police state, tyranny will get worse. The surveillance technology will improve and increase.
Soon Americans will need to get permission to travel, will be born in concentration camps, and then exterminated.
Racists love Hitler, but Hitler didn't love white people. Hitler thought the natural order was that life was brutal and he was right.
There is no hope.
The most realistic option at this stage for the freedom-loving patriot is to run for the mountains or buy a sailboat.
The window is rapidly closing.
