If the United States does collapse, Corporations are going to take over. They'll do it at first out of "security" for their property, then eventually extend that to building huge towns to "protect" their workers and families. Of course many of those will be nothing less then full on Gulags with rampant crime, or company towns where every week you work you're further in debt to the Company because everything they sell back to you is marked up just above the point where you can really afford it.

Where has that ever happened after a collapse?
A collapse would mean our money has become worthless and why would the corporations be interested in us if we have no money to spend? That's all we are now to them -- the big consumers.
The corporations would be gone. They would relocate to greener pastures.
Who hates the jews in the US? Only the blacks becuase they are jealous.
Jews are universally hated because they come to societies, pretend to be part of those societies, while remaining outsiders and being part of 'the tribe.' They begin to enter key sectors of the economy and begin to influence media, government, the financial system, etc...
Of course, they pretend this isn't true and the ADL screams it is some old "anti-semitic canard" even though it's accurate. That's why they were kicked out of Germany (well, they didn't leave until they were rounded up and forced to), and that's why they were kicked out of nearly every country in Europe.
You don't think it has something to do with them? It's all these evil countries which just kick them out because they are successful?
Groups of people are generally not hated/kicked out of every place they go, especially over a thousand years.

No they haven't, that's a recent myth used to validate Israel's excuse of their warcrimes and resettlement programs.
More importantly, Americans always come together in the hardest times and take care of each other. Even if they continually argue and fuss, Americans always stick together. We have a greater desire to hang together than to break apart. That's because we have no single sub-culture, religious sub-culture, foreign heritage, or foreign traditions that are greater than those we have created for ourselves.
America today is nothing like the America of 30, 40, 50 years ago.

We do have social classes. And as previously, America today is not the America of WW2. We were then united by race and culture. No more. The past 30 years has seen a demographic upset which has led to a fragmenting of language, culture and people.
Anyone that thinks so is kidding themselves.

Can't agree anymore with the above statement.
Also - our financial industry, which dominates, creates and produces nothing but leeches wealth out of the country and send it to the pockets of the very few at the very top.

The Amish would probably thrive because they still practice that old family farming and they'd find plenty of customers.
There is no "probably" about it. They will thrive. They know how to can, make their own clothing, butcher a hog, milk a cow, grow a vegetable from a seed. I mentioned them because they have the tools and knowledge to survive. They have a mutually supporting community and church at their base.
I find it mildly amusing that many people talk about the "coming collapse" but have left themselves totally incapable of doing anything for themselves the minute they find out there isn't an app for that. Meanwhile a culture that has been in this country since the 18th century will be just fine.

Why is it the whole doomsday prepper movement seems to attract so many die hard white supremists? It's sad and more than a little pathetic.

Times are different. If the US collapses, there will still be an economy. It's not going to be a total collapse, but I can see the lack of Government going way.
Even if the economy itself totally collapses, there are too many natural resources still around for corporations to take advantage of - even if they have to use slave labor (impoverished Americas,) to extract them.
