Going viral in (ching chong) China - current US in late Qing Dynasty malaise:

- Flooded with opioids
- Closed to foreign trade
- Navy rotten to the core
- Government in paralysis
- Misuse of military funding
- Governors ignoring central orders
- Throwing birthday parties for the emperor
- Fixing up imperial gardens


thoughts on this ancient oriental wisdom?

That's just what late stage empires go through. They all have similar things like late stage Rome.

American is reeling under the weight of bureaucratic bloat and wannabe dictators.

Two principles:
1. A falling civilisation cannot be saved;
2. The fall of a civilisation is not a linear process.

Why are they so asspained?

What'd you say Second Detroit? Who's country is food and fuel dependent? Spent the last 50 years exporting unrecoverable material wealth to the West, killing yourselves in sweat shops. When shit goes bad in America we'll blame the blacks and the illegals. Who will China blame? Each other? You bred imagination out of your people. Basically genetically predisposed to copy paste. Pretty sad.

The USA didn't properly become an empire until at least the Reconstruction era in 1865 when the yankee federal government boot stomped on the rights of our self-governing states.

The Confederacy planned on exerting control over all its states to force them to remain slave states forever. "State's rights" is a complete 20th century fabrication. The Confederacy did not believe states should have the rights to choose to be slave states or not, it completely opposed state's rights in that regard.

The South had to do that because the North was full of libtards who wanted to make blacks equal citizens to whites. We all know which side won the war and illegally added the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which ruined the country forever.
