      Honestly, at this point, I think we need to admit the US cannot be fixed. It’s time to peacefully dissolve the US federal government in its entirety. Grant all 50 states independence, turn the lights off, and move on.

      I think the last straw for me is the recent vote for House committee leadership among the Dems. Even the nominally liberal party is so utterly corrupt, so utterly surrendered to vanity, that it is incapable of learning even the simplest of lessons. Both parties have been so completely corrupted from the inside out by money, that they cannot be saved. The only people who can come into power are those who are utterly corrupted by corporate money, and they have zero incentive to repair the damage money has done to the system.

      It is possible for a thing to be so thoroughly broken that it cannot be repaired. And we have passed that point as a nation. We simply don’t want to admit it.

      The time has come to peacefully dissolve the US in its entirety. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. Then they can come together and form whatever new nation or nations they want.

      This nation can no longer be saved. It is time to end the denial.

        Who is going to allow this to happen?

        This nation can no longer be saved.

        It is actually working as designed.

        But yeah it does look like the abuses will never stop. So it is possible that US will just collapse from within like USSR due to inability to provide its population with necessities like housing, healthcare and education.

        When covid happened some commentary was going around it could be US Chernobyl type event.

        It seemed clowny back then but things have really taken a huge dive since then.

        I guess when Chernobyl happened, plebs in USSR never imagined that the prole crushing machine would collapse within half a decade.

          Having lived through a few coup detats, I don’t think the decline just started. People have been saying we’re doomed since early A.D.s. There are way too many ideological ways to live life. To each their own, but in the end our own intrinsic values necessitate valuation of things and power. TL;DR: this is happening everywhere, all at once.

          Nukes? I’m cool with it, at least I’ll know we’ll all go together. I would rather fear a miserable life and play my best move against it, even when it’s a minor rebellion compared to what it’s fighting against.
