were always heading for a collapse unless one is ongoing

nobody even thinks about solutions

neither short nor long term

No one agrees on the problems.

they just virtue signal

The real reason for the decline, I think is far simpler than anyone wants to admit.

I don't mean like "you're going to die eventually" I mean like "mate you have cancer"

The west is currently a trade empire.

Democracies are inherently unstable

Trade empires collapse when everyone else catches up.

And the trade advantage disappears.

So what next?

where do we go

Happened to Britain to an extent around the 1920s.

i think we need another technological revolution

Welll...The Dems during Obama were cheering for a multipolar world.

We enter the multipolar world.

Wait what

It's not as idyllic as people think.

we just enter a less stable version of the world?

That's not how it was sold in the 'naughts.

But basically.

I think the way to go is smaller more fragmented organizations kept together by larger deals. Sort of like how the US was supposed to go originally

Rule on as local a level as you can

With higher tiers existing to solve less manageable problems

I think that's part of the solution. But I also think at some level you have to be able to unify into something greater.

It's a delicate act.

Most social problems want local solutions.

But economic and military ones tend towards global ones.

I don't think you can get people on opposite sides of the continent to unite indefinitely

what are somer fucked up things democrats supporter throughout history

I think you can.

slavery, KKK

what else

There was that widespread lie about johnson

"well have those niggers voting democrat for the next two hundred years"

jim crow?

The history of the South until the 70s.

That's the ones people tend to.

but his great society program was a step back for most african american communities

they have anything to do with the mccarthy era?

Bill Clinton was roiled by scandals his entire presidency.
