Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.
I never expected USA to self destruct like they are now. It’s absolutely insane!
Electing Bush Jr. twice was crazy, but electing Trump twice is insane.
Following the trend of elections for the past few decades, USA is on a path to become a totalitarian country.
The Democrats may win the next presidential election if there is one, but if the trend continues, when the pendulum swings again, that will be the end of democracy for USA.
I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they’re in charge. That’s why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.
I’m hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I’m not holding my breath, though.
As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they’re in charge.
Yes, the problem is that USA only has 2 right wing parties.
I’m hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I’m not holding my breath, though.
That’s what I hoped under Bush, and his 2nd election was already a serious slap in the face. That Obama was elected made me somewhat hopeful, although he too was clearly right wing, and had clearly American exceptionalist viewpoints.
When Trump was elected, all hope was shattered, and now that Trump was elected a second time, I almost don’t care about USA anymore, except that USA is still a significant global power. And trends in USA have a tendency to spread globally. So we can’t ignore USA. But fuck they are the drunk bullying cousin you wish would have stayed home at family gatherings, because whenever he turns up, he ruins everything.
I also do still care, because despite USA being an asshole country now, there are a lot of Americans who are actually good people, and I do hope they will be able to turn things around. But as you say, I’m not holding my breath.
It was not unexpected. Most big powers in history end like that. The rich always want more and eventually start taking it from everybody else, even if it’s detrimental to the future of the nation.
Oh I absolutely expected USA to be surpassed by China at some point. And for USA to gradually lose international dominance.
But the shit USA is making for itself is turbocharging that process by at least a factor 10.
Some might say it doesn’t really make much difference because the end result remains the same. But the problem is that this doesn’t give the world the same amount of time to adjust. Disruption is generally bad, and disruption of world power is no exception.
Of course the worst disruption is to USA, and that will have a serious negative impact on American business, and if the US dollar loses the position as the world reserve currency, the significance of the American debt will be way more serious.
The USA is falling like an angry giant from a beanstalk.
But China has engineered its own collapse through fraud, incompetence, corruption and hubris. Young people aren’t having kids. They’re lying flat. So much of their growth has been nothing but waste and tofu dregs. Even their population may in reality be hundreds of millions fewer than reported.
And Russia has proven itself no superpower.
I guess this may be a new century for Europe. Australia is looking good. Ukraine is clearly demonstrating their quality. Personally, I hope South America and Africa finally get to flourish.
If USA falls completely it may be both a blessing and a curse. But yes USA is falling like an angry giant.
But I wouldn’t underestimate China, they came from next to nothing half a century ago, to now being a global power in many ways equal to USA, leading in production but also many scientific fields and having one of the worlds 3 biggest economies while still growing their economy faster than USA and EU. They have been doing just about all the right things, investing heavily in education and infrastructure, while also improving living conditions and creating a huge middle class.
I agree 100% that Russia is no super power, Russia is way worse off than China regarding incompetence and corruption, and they are merely the 4th biggest economy in Europe. IMO The only thing really scary about Russia is that they have nukes.
Best wishes to South America and Africa.
If we could have a world order built around the values of EU, based on the concept of prosperity through cooperation and mutual respect, that would be awesome. If we can agree among the different parts of the world on how to coexist, it doesn’t matter who is at the center of it or has the leadership. But as things are looking now, it can’t be USA. USA is way to disruptive to be a plausible world leader anymore.
We always heard that this would be China’s century, and for the most part I assumed “maayybe. We’ll see. It’d take a while for the US to decline.”
Little did I know the US would very quickly shoot both its feet off on its own.
I thought that if China were to become the dominant country it’d be through years and years of steady growth while the US was doing the same. They’d just end up overtaking in the long run — not that the US would actively sabotage itself via bigotry and stupidity and greed.
Complete self own. And everyone in charge is a giant coward. We could start righting the ship today, but all the elected gop (and some dem) officials are greedy cowards.
biggest thing for the rest of the world is our sovereign debt crisis. greece nearly drug down the EU when theirs popped off, and their entire economy was/is just exporting crude and ripping off the occasional tourist.
USD is the cornerstone to the entire western financial system, not to mention the countries position as one of worlds largest importers and facilitater of international trade as a whole…
greece nearly drug down the EU when theirs popped off,
Erh no! Don’t trust the sensationalist stories about the Euro collapsing for this or that reason. Those stories are always without merit, my guess is they serve a purpose for speculation or are just sensationalist stories.
USD is the cornerstone to the entire western financial system
What are you smoking? It doesn’t make a hoot of difference to the rest of the world to trade in another currency. But more likely than not, it won’t be a single currency replacing USD, it will be a basket of currencies where USD will probably be a part.
In Europe the Euro totally dominates the financial market and has done for years. I think you mean the currency for trade, and for that the Euro obviously dominates in Europe.
there’s so much wealth/debt obligations tied up in USD, your the one smoking something if you think a US sovereign debt crisis finally popping off doesn’t drag a large chunk of west down with it.
The US wasn’t built on that solid of a foundation. In fact the founding fathers have said explicitly that said foundation - the Constitution itself - should be a living document updated regularly by the people, for the people, to reflect the changes in the world and in the people themselves. It was literally written at one of the most prominent times of change, so of course those who saw said change and were responsible for enacting it, weren’t idiots who thought things would never change!
The first cracks appeared in the US a hundred years later with the industrial revolution kicking into high gear and transforming the so far mostly rural, self-sufficient communities into manufacturing giants. That’s when factory and mining towns began to boom, and when the US truly began to claim its world power status - without adjusting the laws of course since it benefited the handful few who managed to get their fingers deep into those oh so lucrative pies.
And it’s not like there haven’t been warning signs of the impending capitalist doomsday. Capitalism was literally built on the back of the industrial revolution (which allowed the means of production to transfer into and concentrate in private hands), and immediately people saw the issue with it - no wonder Marx saw the need to work out a competing socioeconomic system that, if you think about it, was truly in the spirit of the American independence and the US Constitution (aka by the people, for the people).
All that capitalist rush? That allowed a handful of people to become obscenely rich, without the curtails of previous obscenely rich (aka kings, royalty, nobles), allowing them to grab power without any of the responsibility. Kings paid with their heads for their wrong decisions, but in the US, that was deemed excessive, so instead y’all elected people who then got paid off by said obscenely rich to go against the people electing them… and the worst that happens was that the elected official got rich, then got replaced by another who got bought out the same way.
And all that money/power concentrated in such a small number of hands would ALWAYS lead to them wanting more and more until they sucked the host dry like a parasite. There’s no symbiosis with capitalists because wealth (resources and man-hours) are finite, unlike their greed. And since the US made it harder and harder to amend the constitution, to make that document truly living and serve the people… The fall thus became inevitable.
It blows my mind that people think America can be saved. Especially if they think it can be saved by voting.
Americans are still drunk, and still drinking, but aren’t at the spins yet and they haven’t thought at all about the hangover. They are still blissful with arrogance and ego.
Studying the revolutionary war reveals a bunch of rich propagandists using lies and violence to manipulate the people into forming a country for the wealthy by the wealthy.
The first President of the US was well on his way to becoming the first billionaire adjusted for inflation. All the things they said were pretty much lies as no one was ever equal in our classist society and our first major moves were to genocide an entire race of people.
The cracks and rot were present in our founding slaveholding abusive fucking illegitimate “fathers” who sold the people a lie just like our current reps do.
This is what happens when 2 generations of lead poisoning brain rot compose the majority of the voting population while the younger generations adopt universal apathy and nihilism
I really think it’s capitalism, consumerism, individualism and decades of exploitation and propaganda more than the lead. Lead will make a person slightly dumber, angrier and more impulsive, but not as dumb as American politics today. Don’t give the fascists lead as an excuse.
USA already has widespread poverty, the longest work hours, lacks free healthcare and education, has the lowest life expectancy among economically comparable countries, has a dysfunctional democracy and AFAIK the greatest inequality among rich democracies.
So USA is already a shit-hole country, and among shit hole countries, totalitarian countries are the absolute worst.
If you think people have it bad now, especially below middle class, you just wait and see what it will be like if USA becomes a totalitarian country!
There is no middle class. Either you have to work to pay your bills and you are a worker or people works for you to pay your bills and you are an owner.
That was a decade ago. With trump and Biden at the helm, we hit that point already. Between trump showing that there is no bottom to the depths that conservatives will sink to and *Biden showing that there’s no consequences for openly breaking the law, we are a fucking joke at best.
* Yes, I know congress stopped a lot that. But Biden could have pushed harder against the Republicans or even just not rolled over and go back to business as usual with the weakest of weak sauce attempts at accountability. I mean, Merrick fucking Garland?!?! The failed compromise pick from a decade prior as the head of the investigation?
I hate that the Democrats are the best national response we have to this shit. Local community organization helps, but goddamn if this situation isn’t disheartening.
No. It won’t be. But things change. Some buildings crumble. Some are reinforced and kept standing. Where there were streets, new buildings are erected. Where there were rivers and bulwarks, streets are made with pipes underneath.
So this particular building will have to change to avoid crumbling. Well, as it always happens.
The collapse of the United States would have devastating effects on every other country. everywhere you go in the world, you notice people paying very close attention to what’s happening in America
The US won’t go quietly into the night. A desperate US is a scary prospect with a military several orders larger and better equipped than the rest of the world combined.
Until the US eliminates it’s military budget the rest of the world would be wise to watch their backs.
Maybe real art and entertainment would come back. Like authentic culture, not focused-grouped monetized culture formed into a legal crack that sucks the soul from society and the idea of reason.
The truth I think is that all these 1st world societies are basically all collapsing slowly because they took too much from authentic humanity instead of nurturing it. I feel like most people are so far gone they couldn’t even begin to connect with their honest human self outside of the traditional indoctrination we all receive from our national cultures.
I feel like most people are so far gone they couldn’t even begin to connect with their honest human self outside of the traditional indoctrination we all receive from our national cultures.
Thinking about Lemmy and most people around me, it seems like it.
Don’t get complacent. The EU countries are toying with the idea of collapsing with us. AfD doesn’t seem to be shrinking, and there will be a lot of money and propaganda dumped that way soon.
I hope you’re better at resisting it than we were, but seeing as how we’re all still on vulnerable social media…
How can you say this with a straight face? All fascist parties have record numbers, workers rights are being targeted across the board, digital privacy is a thing of the past. We’re like barely half a step behind. The oligarchy doesn’t care about states or continents. The EU is on the menu just as much as the US
For sure. The nations are just tools. People don’t understand there’s another level. Most aren’t taught or think enough to understand that the real “game” is above nations, the nations are basically businesses and tools for those willing to play the real “game”. And the citizens of those nations are just basically free-range workers/cattle.
The further you zoom out from your microcosm of life the more fucked up it is. You can see the nation herding people. 90s individualism wasn’t freedom, it was marketed lifestyles to further categorize groups of people like a dog herding sheep into the next free-range pen. People think psychology isn’t a tool used to control… They think the choices that are given to them are freedom. What do people think is happening with the data mined??? People are so far removed from the idea of playing the “game” that they don’t understand they are now the pawns being played in the “game”.
Netflix and chill? Let’s watch the game. Want to go shopping, I need more useless nicknaks to distract me because that’s the easiest low hanging fruit way to give reason for my life. I’m not living for me, I’m just a cog in this game that keeps them able to play with my life for their profits.
“Civilization” is a big word for a collection of selfish pillagers who barely tolerate each other. It’s certainly “fun” for the rest of the world, lol.
Isn’t it fun living through the decline phase of our civilization?
I never expected USA to self destruct like they are now. It’s absolutely insane!

It feels like the elite are doing one last big haul before they’re out of there, looking for new regions to exploit.
Unless the EU gets rapidly closer to China I doubt it. We’ll probably see the general Euro Zone vs. China for the century.
biggest thing for the rest of the world is our sovereign debt crisis. greece nearly drug down the EU when theirs popped off, and their entire economy was/is just exporting crude and ripping off the occasional tourist.

It’ll get better when president Kirk and VP Minaj come through. /S
It was inevitable and kind of expected.

USA is on a path to become a shit-hole country - FTFY.
Always has been. Just with a lot of facade and flag waving. Facade is getting trashed and you’re starting to see what flags really stand for.
USA already has widespread poverty, the longest work hours, lacks free healthcare and education, has the lowest life expectancy among economically comparable countries, has a dysfunctional democracy and AFAIK the greatest inequality among rich democracies.
So USA is already a shit-hole country, and among shit hole countries, totalitarian countries are the absolute worst.

There is no middle class. Either you have to work to pay your bills and you are a worker or people works for you to pay your bills and you are an owner.
Right but you can’t admit that as truth because it’s not patriotic. Like when pieces of shit dress nice and go to church.
That was a decade ago. With trump and Biden at the helm, we hit that point already. Between trump showing that there is no bottom to the depths that conservatives will sink to and *Biden showing that there’s no consequences for openly breaking the law, we are a fucking joke at best.

next we get Alex Jones/Tucker Carleson ticket, which wins because establishment Dems try to push Hillary on america again
End of USA will be net positive for human civilization and its not even close
No. It won’t be. But things change. Some buildings crumble. Some are reinforced and kept standing. Where there were streets, new buildings are erected. Where there were rivers and bulwarks, streets are made with pipes underneath.
So this particular building will have to change to avoid crumbling. Well, as it always happens.

Civilization? Nah just the collapse of one empire. The rest of the world goes on.
The collapse of the United States would have devastating effects on every other country. everywhere you go in the world, you notice people paying very close attention to what’s happening in America
The US won’t go quietly into the night. A desperate US is a scary prospect with a military several orders larger and better equipped than the rest of the world combined.

As long as they are the strongest logistical force in the world they will rule, and they are the strongest by far in that regard.
It is gross and I am stuck participating in it. We don’t need a world full of weapons. It is such a disservice to future generations.
A devastating deficiency of being bombed and couped lol, be serious
Maybe real art and entertainment would come back. Like authentic culture, not focused-grouped monetized culture formed into a legal crack that sucks the soul from society and the idea of reason.
Don’t get my hopes up
Rather arrogant to believe the US falling means the decline of our entire civilisation.
Lol; that’s what the EU common people said about too big to fail, too.
The truth I think is that all these 1st world societies are basically all collapsing slowly because they took too much from authentic humanity instead of nurturing it. I feel like most people are so far gone they couldn’t even begin to connect with their honest human self outside of the traditional indoctrination we all receive from our national cultures.
Thinking about Lemmy and most people around me, it seems like it.
I’m so happy to be in the EU. Good luck over there! BTW we had like 100 collapses and 1000 wars before we got to where we are…
Don’t get complacent. The EU countries are toying with the idea of collapsing with us. AfD doesn’t seem to be shrinking, and there will be a lot of money and propaganda dumped that way soon.
I hope you’re better at resisting it than we were, but seeing as how we’re all still on vulnerable social media…
If the US falls, EU’s far right parties will have a big problem. No more money from the US.
Once the oligarchs have picked the bones over here, the EU is next. They’re like a virus that must keep consuming.
True, idiocy is universal. You can see the roaches crawling out of the rocks already.
Yeah, nothing is written in stone for sure, and I hope our american friends will figure it out, and that we’ll motor through all this bullshit.
How can you say this with a straight face? All fascist parties have record numbers, workers rights are being targeted across the board, digital privacy is a thing of the past. We’re like barely half a step behind. The oligarchy doesn’t care about states or continents. The EU is on the menu just as much as the US

Yes, and us unionists are fighting back. What, do you think we’re all just sitting on our arses with our heads up rectums?
If a fascist takes over the Danish government I’m going to riot, and I know which friends to call on to make it happen too.
You can PM me too if it comes to that.
I’m in France so I’m already used to it and ready to restart.
You know most Americans are descendants of that historical lesson too right?
Well, most don’t seem to remember it at all. It’s why you are in this situation.
Netflix and chill? Let’s watch the game. Want to go shopping, I need more useless nicknaks to distract me because that’s the easiest low hanging fruit way to give reason for my life. I’m not living for me, I’m just a cog in this game that keeps them able to play with my life for their profits.
I’m an EU citizen.
Correction : they.
Yeah I know, seems they missed what we learned the last century (or so I hope, that we learned something).
