The productive class carries crumbling systems through exhausting labor, only to see their output fund their own dispossession. When they protest the betrayal, they're labeled bigots. The system can't survive this thermodynamic reality: draining competent populations while importing dependency inevitably collapses. People are finally waking up and choosing self-preservation over loyalty to a hostile regime.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

The cancer of Internal Corruption kills every great Empire in the end

It's like seeing a giant mighty dinosaur that managed to fend off decades of attacks by the biggest predators earth has ever seen only in the end to succumb to an infection and be defeated by itself from within

Christmas time isn't for black-pilling!

The American Dream used to be the freedom to worship God, even if its cost was a high-mortality frontier.

Then it added the private property.

We subsequently added wealth, stability, comfort, leisure time, luscious lawns in the desert, and so much more.

But strip everything back and at its core the American system necessitates a high trust people. If you're unhappy with the immorality you see; go to church, bring your family, invite your neighbors, serve, and push the expansion of the high-trust bubble one soul at a time.

People have to find their way back to God for inner peace. Yeah, this **** sucks but this is how humans have behaved since Adam and Eve.
Find your solace in God, in family, in relationships. Know and understand that suffering is part of the human condition. In terms of what humans have experienced throughout their history, modern times are pretty damn good.
Not making an excuse for the miserable corruption that has handicapped us, but perspective always helps.

We are nearing a breaking point. I know younger, mostly men, are growing more disillusioned and looking for a way out of this mess. They play by the rules...but watch those who don't get advantages. Cities are turning into the 3rd world and no longer looking like the America many of us grew up in. Morality, ethics, and common beliefs are attacked. We've handed this generation a credit card with a 40 trillion dollar debt and then told them to just "work harder".

If your on a treadmill and running faster doesn't get you anywhere... eventually you get off...

But are they? Election returns and congressional makeup would show otherwise.

No. Boomers have been in political power for the past many decades, which have seen the rot of this nation accelerated beyond belief.

Not long ago, corruption was a de minimis byproduct of American politics. Now it's the core business.

Seems like 80% agree on the problem. it's just that 40% want a marxist/socialist solution and 40% want a capitalist/libertarian solution. History unfortunately repeats.

The people allowing all this fraud are playing with fire, this may get as close to exploding as I've ever seen. Hard working families paying outrageous taxes only to have our democrat party giving all that money to immigrants that are now thriving.

First, define the social contract.

My stab: If you work a standard 40 hour work week, you should be able to afford a modest home that you own, food, and reasonable creature comforts for leisure, charity, and children's activities for a family size up to 4 kids.

The problem: That's not really true anymore.

Ah, so there's more to where the words in the meme come from. Gotcha.

I'll have to look into it now. Thanks.

The generational BS has been going on since Ecclesiastes and Socrates. Boomers simply came to being when the greatest peace dividend the world has ever seen directly benefited the USA. It's just timing and human nature Boomers succeeded. Millennials, gen z, and gen alpha would have made the same selfish choices in the same circumstances. Boomers just need to stop acting like they earned a run when they were born on 3rd base and recognize circumstances for their kids and grandkids are different. Similarly, super grateful I was a kid in the 90s instead of today. Trying to create some of that 90s magic in our neighborhood with likeminded families and feral children entertaining themselves in storm drains until it's dark.

Yes sir.

But if you think it's bad now, just wait until the bubble that we all know is about to pop, pops. Those of us under 60 years of age are going to live to see times worse than the Great Depression, and soon.

Same...luckily you still see some of this out in the suburbs where we live...and there are lakes and fields everywhere and it promotes an outdoorsy lifestyle (about as much as you could expect for Houston at least). But when we lived in the "cool parts" of the city, it was kind of depressing. You NEVER saw neighborhood kids our playing or riding around together. If you saw a child outdoors, their parents were hovering right around them.

I truly believe spending significant time outdoors in your youth and teenage years is essential in promoting a well balanced and healthy life and mentality. The sun, the grass, the dirt, the water, the physical activity, the mischief...it's all good for us.

Something tells me that good will prevail over the evil thieves we have running parts of our country - when the middle class realizes they have been getting screwed and their lives and families are barely making because of taxation that is being wasted on POS Somalian thieves, you will see something happen. The younger to middle age people will open that can of whoop ass

This isn't going to happen, because no one wants to go first, and they shouldn't, because the minute they lift their heads up it's the entire book thrown at them and they're disappeared. Wife loses a husband, children lose a father, income gone. Your rage against the machine was rewarded with destroying your family.

The only way for a white guy to get ahead these days is to start his own business. Job opportunities are becoming scarce due to over population and importation of cheap labor through h1-b. Professions like law and medicine are being blocked by DEI and quota admissions practices in the universities.

Females can get ahead quite easily by just joining a stem field, and they get instantly considered, offered jobs, and higher salary offers because companies are competing to hire females in stem.
