How did the U.S. go from being the center of the world to a deranged psychotic neoliberal mess that outsiders feel lucky not to live in — all in just a few decades?

Social and mental issues of people mostly left ignored for corporate profit.
Deliberate devaluation of education by ruling elite to keep population under their thumb.
Quality education locked away from general public via expensive private schools so quality education can be kept in ruling elite families.
Combine that to easy access to guns and you have great mix.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Because those outsiders don't live in the US, which means the only information they have is the internet. Their insecurity and ignorance on the matter does not result in an actual change. Which is why we in America don't really care what people on the internet who never been here have to say.

Home of the SJWs, that's why. This problem never existed anywhere else until about a few years ago.

I'm not big on conspiracy theories but this ♥♥♥♥ happened too fast and suddenly to be organic, I'm just wondering which enemy power is celebrating America and Europe become a diverse disaster full of weak sensitive people the most?

It started with Mr Reagan and "Supply Side" (trickle down) economics. That eventually ended us. And Europe as well truth be told, trying to emulate us and meeting the same fate.

China does spend a lot of money on propaganda in western countries for sure. They've been paying influencers for a while now to talk them up, and trash the west.

That doesn't even make sense because the US continued to be a peak economic powerhouse and exporter well after that was past. In fact many consider the 80's and 90's to be the golden age of the US.

5. Fake populist 'America First' policies where farmers and people who voted for Tr*mp are making videos of themselves on their knees begging for aid from the government SPOILER they aren't getting it
6. Federal spending on everything that isn't helping their aforementioned constituents
1. Weak leadership
2. Declining Tr*mp economy
4. Corruption

Oh, you see what I did there? :cuphead:

China

They even released some propaganda video mocking the weakness of American soldiers by demonstrating that slurs would hurt them into tears, and they're right lmao.

Alas, CCP spies found in the UK but they refuse to arrest or deport them. That country is c o o k e d.

Oh yeah, at this rate unless something is done, this Chinese takeover will happen in our lifetimes (applies only to cis people)

And you know what? I don't care, if the people are dumb enough to fall for it, fair game, good strat.

Every empire has their expire date.
because americans dont actually do anything to better their lives, they continue to vote for the same 2 parties that massacre people in the third world for the benefit of americans, and even then those benefits dont even largely go to everyday americans and instead go to corporations

americans live in a literal dictatorship and they dont care, both parties are a different flavour of fascist imperialist capitalism and americans do literally 0 to change that

ironically europeans do more then americans to push for systematic change in their countries, even if minor in the grand scheme
Everything is going according to plan...

If only the people harmed by their intellectual incompetence were the ones dumb enough to fall for it. The reality is, there will be a lot of collateral damage from it.

The 50's were the golden age and the New Deal Era.

Wall Street is not Main Street. What we did in the 80's is do everything to appease "Wall Street' as the working class got fleeced. That is where we are, and Europe are quite frankly today.

Too much emphasis was put on making corporations money, and fighting these wars to make them money, whilst cutting taxes to unsustainable rates, that in the end brought us mass debt, a fleecing of the middle class having to live off of cheap credit rather than real dollars, and a power structure beholden to wealthy interests that have brought on the "neoliberal' politics and infrastructure we see today.


Compounded of course by the Citizens United Case, and political parties pandering to wealthy interests to fund their campaigns.

That in short, is why we are where we are.
