The US is now a bankrupt warmongering police state.
Nothing will change, though, because too many people have a vested interest in maintaining it. The elites have bought off the politicians with campaign donations and cushy job promises and TSA agents and welfare leeches would not vote for freedom or less welfare money.
Americans hate freedom with a passion.
People get used to slavery. You wouldn't mind radar detectors if radar detectors existed before you were born. Kids born today would think NDAA indefinite detention, gun bans, free speech bans, kill lists, asset forfeiture, TSA groping, NSA wiretapping, and CIA torture are perfectly acceptable.
The government is no longer a democracy or is legitimate. The electronic voting machines can be hacked. Americans are not responsible for the laws and and taxes they didn't vote for.
Americans are too immoral, degraded, and depraved now to vote for someone like Ron Paul who would try to reduce the debt, end the wars, and restore the Bill of Rights so a total collapse of the USA is certain. The US will either have a sudden collapse like the USSR, a slow decline like Japan, Brazil, or Venezuela, or the US Ponzi economy will crash, Civil War 2.0 will start, and WWIII will break out.
Moral Americans that were taught to hate the Soviet Union everyday in school are in a shock now that they are told to be Communists.
All those Americans who died fighting for freedom against the British, Hitler, and Iraq died for nothing.
Communists scream Norway is a Socialist success story, but Norwegians are drunks now because there's no reason to work or get married. What will Norway do when Muslims overrun their nation and the oil money runs out?
Maybe the best option right now is that Americans need to go Galt, dropout, buy gold, buy a sailboat or live in the mountains, stop paying taxes, stop getting licenses, lose their names, stop flying, stop using the Internet, and stop dealing with the government.
Americans stopped by the Gestapo should just smile, ask if they're free to go, remain silent, do not consent to a search, and act dumb if pressed.
Those who dropout and live in a bunker risk wasting their life if the US doesn't collapse in the next 50 years, but those who keep their head down, stay silent, work, and pay taxes are no better than the elites who are driving the US into the ground or the Communists in Cambodia or the Stasi in East Germany.
The US collapse is not happening in a bubble on some distant planet. The USA collapse is happening right now and you just need to go outside to see it. Maybe you don't care that Muslims are rotting in Gitmo or the USA is killing civilians in Syria or Afghanistan or Assange is in jail, but that blood is on your hands and your silence ensures that the ruling class will eventually come for you. Your refusal to resist means that you consent to whatever the 1% is doing.
Americans blame Jews for the US collapse, but Americans are buying the debt, wars, and tyranny the Jews are selling.
Americans blame illegal immigrants for the US collapse, but the main problem with illegals is that they are illegal. Illegal aliens wouldn't get welfare if the USA didn't have welfare. Americans scream illegal immigrants are brown, but the US had brown people before. Illegal immigrants won't embrace American values of peace, balanced budgets, responsibility, and freedom now because Americans don't care about American values, either.
The Amish and Libertarians are not the problem in the US today. The problems are the Nazis and Commies who are tools of the elites and want to control everyone.
Burning flags and yoga pants are not the problem in the US. The problem is that Americans no longer have the freedom to choose whether or not to burn flags or wear yoga pants. How can anyone know what is best for you? Are Americans just zombies, sheep, and robots now?
Freedom is everything.
How can you have morals without a church? Is the president your holy God?
Why work if the government chooses your job?
Why work if you can't keep your property?
If tyranny is so wonderful then why do North Koreans try to escape?
The problem today is not just the elites vs. the 99% or freedom vs. tyranny. The US collapse is a question of evil vs. good.
Think.
Anyone under the age 50 will almost certainly see the US collapse in their lifetimes. You can't even be sure now if the US will last another year.
One could understand why those who are 70 might want to keep their head down, but any American who is 20 or 30 or 40 and is not resisting or making plans to leave the US is insane. Everything is illegal. You have nothing left to lose.
Terrorists, dissidents, and seasteaders are all targets. There is no escape. You might buy some time by moving to another country, though.
Some say protesting doesn't work, but Americans protested the Vietnam War and the war ended. Americans are too cowardly and depraved now to protest US wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Niger, Yemen, and Somalia and the wars continue.
How can Americans justify paying taxes for US wars, debt, and tyranny? Does your conscience bother you at all?
The cowards who bitch about the US collapse online now are no better than the disgusting American sheep who only care about drugs, alcohol, bread and circuses, sex, music, movies, sports, and celebrities.
The US government is not legitimate today. You wouldn't feel guilty if you didn't pay the Crips or the Mafia protection money, so why should you feel bad about not paying taxes?
The US is a police state and you want to buy a fishing license? WTF?
You know that the US is completely doomed when the USA is a bankrupt warmongering police state, but Americans only care about slavery reparations, free college, and homosexuality.
Voting doesn't work because candidates won't stand up for freedom, the voters don't demand freedom, and the election machines can be hacked.
In a a free country, there are lines that you do not cross. Free countries do not have checkpoints, nanny state laws, TSA groping, censorship, protesting bans, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, indefinite detention without trial, extrajudicial assassination, forfeiture, and torture. The USA has crossed all of them.
Do you think the debt will decline, the wars will end, and the Bill of Rights will be restored on their own?
The US stock market will implode, guns will be banned, there will be starvation, there will be dead bodies in the street, Americans will start sabotaging government equipment, government workers will begin to worry if they will come come home at night, Americans will become kamikaze pilots and suicide bombers, there will be death camps, there will be a Civil War, and WWIII will break out.
The government can't help you. The government is destroying you.
The real heroes today are those resisting tyranny like Assange, Snowden, and Manning.
Americans need to wake up and start becoming fanatic about freedom immediately.
