Since the establishment of the settler colony in 1620, nothing in the history of the American project has prepared the citizenry of that once mighty nation for the coming collapse. In the not all too distant future, Americans are going to wake up with a terrible hangover and ask themselves: What happened? The relative decline in US power was entirely predictable, but the speed at which its misleadership has hastened the process is astonishing.
It will cause every nation to re-examine itself and perhaps consider alternatives, like the Swiss, Singaporean and Chinese governance models, all of which work much better than faux democracy.
Americans will NEVER consider alternative governance models. That's not said as a stalwart American who believes they're always right. It's said as a simple observation.
The US is like a sink full of water when the stopper is pulled out. At first, one hardly notices the exit flow. At some point, the level of the water is visibly lower. Then the water line downward movement starts to accelerate.
The sink does not empty completely because someone puts the stopper back in. When and how this happens is unknown but the water level will be much lower than it is today, let alone in 1945.
Those of us who lived through these times, and followed the overwhelming rise of finance Jews with the complicity of finance WASPS — and thus the change in control of America, must be philosophical in order to retain our equanimity.
Great respect to Godfree for his tireless efforts to help the creature who, Aristotle says, “desires to know” (first sentence of the Metaphysics).
Capitalism is at its beginnings a very efficient (although unfair() system. As it grows older it begins to show its fragility and other more equitable systems begin to challenge it. Let us hope that in its senility it doesn't end human civilization with a discharge of nuclear weapons
the amazing thing about the west's decline is how suicidal the Europeans have been following their american lords and masters, which in turn follow their jewish lords and masters as a result of bribery and blackmail.
the Europeans could have retained some agency and sovereignty as the world goes multipolar. there could have been several european middle powers. Instead the political elite is completely captured by the yankee/jew deep state. They are willingly going over the cliff even when everybody with a functional brain knows the US is morally and financially bankcrupt and the country is disintegrating in front of our eyes. Even rats have enough survival instinct to jump off the ship as it starts sinking but not the europeans.
As the dream of "collective hegemon" (as a lackey riding on the coattail of yankistan) fades as morning dew, the once-proud french, german, and italians seem resigned to go down in flame with their master. Truely a sad spectacle.
I'm new in here, I enjoy Mr. Roberts commentary... I've lived in Wuhan for years, have some decent experience with the academic community (I am not an academic, just married to one) at several of the universities here, am close friends and spend considerable time with a lot of Party folks, spend a lot of time in the countryside on BIL's farm, I get around the country quite a bit, was in Wuhan for the lockdown in 2020, etc., etc... As an American laowai, I'm accepted into all levels of Chinese society, I get to see a lot.
I don't disagree with any of the assessments presented herein, but some of it strikes me as a tad premature and dancing on a grave that's still being dug. History is fantasy, agreed upon...as the Emperor said. Everyone in here is agreeing. OK.
