Americans seem to have forgotten their history and have tunnel vision about the past.
Conservatives think the US never had black people before today.
Liberals think the US always had food stamps.
Americans insist everybody worked for free when there was no minimum wage.
Americans think the USA always had TSA groping.
Americans say everyone died when there were no seatbelt laws.
Americans think either that the USA is the country with the most freedom in the world or think that the US was always a police state.

The USA is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state now.
The elites control Hollywood, the media, Wall Street, and the government.
What if actors, reporters, politicians, and bankers risked their jobs for the 99% by smearing the elites every chance they could?
What if the Gestapo refused to arrest people for victimless crimes, Americans refused to obey the law, the TSA refused to grope people, soldiers refused to go to war, taxpayers refused to pay taxes, NSA agents quit, CIA agents refused to torture, IRS agents refused to collect taxes, and juries refused to convict people?
Are Americans crippled retards? Are Americans just victims? Isn't anyone responsible for anything?
Spread the word.

Does anyone get the feeling that soon libraries will be closed, books will be burned, and the Internet will be shut down so Americans will be forced to buy products from corporations because people will not be able to find out how to grow food, make soap, or make candles?
Maybe the US Ponzi economy will implode, Civil War 2.0 will start, and WWIII will break out before then, though.
Americans may have thought the USA would collapse one day, but who would have thought the collapse would happen in their own lifetimes?
Why doesn't anyone say anything?
Instead of thinking of societies defined by a certain ideology, think of individuals guided by their own internal moral compass. If you want a society where nobody commits acts of aggression against each other, the only way to get there is for the great majority of individuals to believe that such actions are wrong. You can call such a society an ancap society, a free market society, a voluntaryist society, a utopian society, etc. The name doesn't matter, what matters is how individuals act towards each other.
There is no guarantee that such a society wouldn't be infiltrated either violently, or subversively, by individuals (like statists) who believe aggression is justified just as there is no guarantee that any form of statist society will exist in perpetuity.
Regardless of what other individuals do or believe, you can still act morally (without aggression) toward others and escape from the aggression of others to the best of your ability. For example, you can find ways to legally escape taxation. You can choose not to use the services of the state as best you can. You can interact with those in your interpersonal circle without coercion and violence. You can practice virtues (integrity, hard work, kindness, conscious awareness, etc.) that empower and enrich you and others, to produce wealth and to spread peace and prosperity.
An Ancap society doesn't necessarily have to be a geographical location. Through the internet, local meetups, conferences, etc. you can choose to surround yourself with other like-minded individuals and spread the good word of voluntary, peaceful interaction.

Maybe the perfect American is Libertarian enough not to be a Nazi or a Commie and Christian enough to be moral.
Part of the reason the USA is collapsing today seems to be education is bad, machines have made people dependent, regulations have protected the stupid from being killed, and welfare has made people weak.
A hundred years ago, the dumb would have been killed off if they were careless, weak, or lazy. Now there are seatbelts, helmets, technology, and welfare.
Modern society is bogged down by a large number of useless eaters who would have died off in the past.
Fascists think the weak should be sent to death camps to be killed, but Libertarians would rather return to a natural order with voluntary free market organizations, families, and charities replacing government regulations and welfare.
Everyone likes to have a safe life, but one of the problems with government force is unintended consequences.
How can the government know what is best for you?
Although Americans think welfare and regulations mean safety, who would want to work if hard work is punished with taxes and laws and laziness is rewarded with handouts?
