The US was basically perfect from 1880 - 1960. That was the peak of civilization and it's completely gone forever

The only way out is through. Ride the tiger.

why on earth do you believe that

>1880 - 1960
the rot had already been brewing for centuries by this point, culminating in the catastrophe of the French Revolution

The US always was and always will be a human petri dish

Disagree strongly. 1950s thru mid-90s was the actual peak, with the downfall beginning at 9/11 and locking in at 2013.

Technically right now is the peak of the american empire whether you like or not america is at the forefront of everything, everyone comes to america to study, learn, start businesses. We have the most patents yearly for decades, one of the highest average incomes per capita. You can thank industrialization, a burgeoning huge population, and hitler for brain draining all of europe and making the jews move to america. We're genuinely at our peak, sure sure china is strong economically and all but nobody fucking goes to china of their own will to live. You just wanted to live in some traditional romantic idea of america. Europe is falling apart, the west is weakening, America is the last great western empire as the BRIC countries develop and gain further dominance over the world.

Wow sounds great OP

>can't go to a bar and have a beer for 12 years during that time frame

I would protest that things had started to get worse in that period, the country had already strayed from its original principals during the civil war, and we fucked the world by getting involved in world war one. Early colonial period was peak kino.

Again disagree. Social unrest and division in America is at a height not seen since civil war. 50s thru 90s were the peak, and we have started our descent

You mean saved the world. Only reason we have a global economy today is because of the USA policing everything.

>slavic hands typed this post

Oh give me a break, americans have fought since the inception of america, that's nothing new, you're seeing global unrest right now but governments are better at controlling people through the media. Atleast we're not at war, we literally have had civil war and you're telling me its that bad. I don't think we're at our descent, take one look at how many tech companies are in america and large corporations, which btw control the world as well. We're seeing such peak prosperity right now on an unprecedented level. Things our shitty here, but things are shitty everywhere else. Europe used to be an alternative but this war with russia has completely destroyed them economically, they're in a true descent. Same with england. China as i've said is just a shadow country operating off fake inflated numbers from real estate building.

imagine seeing politicians getting decapitated in 4k

This feels pretty accurate to me too. Feels like pre-911 USA was a golden age. I feel like modern internet, smart phones, and social media contribute to the decline, but deep down I know they are just the perfect medium for capturing the decline in real time and aren't actually major factors in the fall of the Western world.

You are honestly low IQ for believing that. It is just the internet and vocal minorities having a voice. Before the internet a conservative from a small town in the south would have no way of interacting with a liberal from a big city.

>social unrest
America is fine, you always-online faggots just eat up and amplify bad news so you think the world is ending.

>shitty healthcare
>die in the wars, goy
>work in the mines and factories

it wasn’t so cool after all

America has existed for three human lifespans.

Unless you were non-white.

Then it was not so great.

Also it was common for an argument to occur and then one person shot another person. No real trial, or evidence, or law and order.

Oh and kids could work 12 hour shifts in factories and die in a machine and no one cared.

Oh and Americans got drafted for lots of wars. Wars with low survival rates.

There were problems.

If we can tear down the US government and rebuild it, the peak of civilization could be NOW

>Unless you were non-white.
who gives a fuck

Everyone.

It’s actually not that bad once you get off the computer and go outside a little. I don’t mean this in a disrespectful manner.

and now we are left living in despotic Yellen run hell. all hail the irs.

i don't. fuck you, stop being black or fuck off to africa.

America would be perfect if you non-whites would fuck off.
