The modern United States seems to be a cultureless wasteland, a free-for-all of debauchery. It is, as it exists today as purely a material extrapolation that revolves around degenerate greed, shameless money grubbing, worship of material gain, and hyper-consumerism.

Offering socialism as an alternative is useless, for egalitarianism is a made-up artifice, and likewise, the capitalistic notion of meritocracy is equally a lie in an organized system that is entirely rigged from top-down, in reality, we live in a post-capitalist and post-socialist world where nation-states along with societies everywhere are collapsing because neither system nor ideological thought can sustain present mankind.

The collapse of western civilization and indeed civilization around the world over time will be a direct result of the inherent failures of both competing ideologies.

So, what happens to a nation like the United States that has no culture, identity, or ethos other than the unification of a diverse multitude group of people through material greed? For once the very mechanism of material greed that is the only remaining social glue holding society together disintegrates due to overall societal collapse, what is left afterward?

What is left afterward is a diverse multitude of people that hate each other, for once the unity through material greed dissolves as the only single strand holding people together one by one everybody will turn on each other as a war of all against all.

The future of a collapsed United States and west is basically this; a Hobbesian dystopia of all against all, where life is poor, solitary, nasty, brutish, and short. This is the natural consequence of a culture completely ingrained in materialistic greed collapsed in on itself, a society based solely on a zero-sum game descends into the complete total chaos of an equally zero-sum nature.

This is what hell looks like when a collapsed society or civilization descends into the hell of its own very creation and fashioning. Alas, the modern clown world will desperately blow its last honk as the world descends into chaos, lawlessness, madness, and an orgy of violence everywhere. People with the animals within will savagely turn against each other releasing the true savage beasts of themselves. I present you all a future glimpse into our collective final descent or voyage into hell.

Looks pretty accurate to me, we are going down in flames.

People have been talking doom and gloom about the "collapse" of the US since the Great Depression, if not even earlier going all the way back to the Civil War, yet we are still here!

Though the OP is clearly cut-and-pasted babble, we are going down. But not in flames....more like imprisoned starvation.

"Still here," and a rotted-out husk of what we once were. The one and only thing we have going for us is our global reserve currency status, and that is likely to disappear within the next 5 years.

Then why aren't big Democrat cities aren't burning down now, like they were last summer? Or is this thread supposed to be sarcastic?
