Nah, not true.

All Wars are Bankers Wars, an excellent book that will explain how it really works in simple terms. It will change your perspective on modern wars completey.

We were forced to pretend diversity was a good thing.

People should have stayed in their countries. There's a reason China is on the rise. 0 diversity wrecking their way of life over there. Look at Europe. Leading the charge in promoting diversity and it's in shambles.

There's tons of research that shows groups work better when homogenous. The more heterogeneity among a group, the more problems it faces, the less accomplished, and the more inferior quality of what is accomplished.

Heterogeneity always creates additional, unnecessary barriers to overcome. If you're putting together a team to work on a project/goal, the more homogenous you can make it the more fluid things will run. This is why politics is a sh*t show. There's way too much diversity in this country and everyone has their own vision of what's in their best interest. Of course that sh*t isn't going to align. So what happens is people don't get their way and it turns ugly.

Imagine how much easier it would be for this country to progress if we all shared the same vision and direction to get there. Instead we just have competing interests and things never go anywhere. You can't have it. Diversity has gotta go. Split back up and each group will prosper better than they would trying to stay as one.



Edit:


And you're shamed into being a racist if you point out the flaws of diversity

So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Nope.

Equal rights had nothing to do with it. Liberal:Conservative are just opposite sides of the political spectrum and both have merit when a balance is found and we don't go to extremes. Cultural degeneracy stems from more than hip hop and is more a symptom than a cause.

Lousy monetary policy and wasteful (arguably overdone) spending on government control certainly haven't helped except to kick the can down the road and provide some employment funded via government spending/lots of debt.

There is no American exceptionalismand the 50s were an anomaly, not the standard.

Feminism and leftist politics don't help but the primary reason for America's decline is simply that the rest of the world finally caught up. You can't make America great again if the stimulus for America being great in the first place was pure chance.
Disagree.

Yes, the US had a huge competitive advantage post WWII. The rest of the world "catching up" shouldn't equate to the US failing.

I believe in American exceptionalism. And it isn't anything to do with race IMO.

East asian countries are doing well cause they're pretty much united, it's not the homogeneous societies they have, it's that they aren't fighting each other within their countries.
Here you are really on to something.

What makes America different from the Old World?

The American story is a story of doers. People with the grit to take action and not just settle for whatever life situation they were born into. I believe that is why America has had such a longstanding history of innovation compared to other countries; though that has been changing as things like democratic elections and universal education have become widespread.

This is part of why I'm not bothered by an increased Hispanic population or an influx of Indian professionals. We want the go-getters. We want the people who are willing to pull up stakes and jump in to a foreign land for the opportunity to improve their lives and the lives of their children via hard work and investment.

Dreamers aren't enemies of mine.

My problem is with the members of the ownership class that leverage legislation to keep wages stagnant, labor powerless, and their own share of profits out-sized in relation to the value of investment. Companies that employ illegal labor so that they can operate with substandard working conditions. Companies that import captive foreign labor claiming that there isn't sufficient existing labor.

I'm not anti-capitalist. No problem with people who risk more, invest more, create more, reaping larger rewards. Strictly speaking of the moneyed interests that use their influence to corrupt legislation and rig the game.

OP: People smarter than me have pegged the origin of our present situation to the end of growth. Maybe I will get around to posting up an interview w/more details.

Things were lost before the 50's. As people have already mentioned, we did back the wrong side in WW2, but the decline and embrace of modernism started back in the 20's/30's.

We needed a true family man like Obama or Joe Biden in the White House.

The rise of neoliberalism and corporatism in the 70s/80s, mixed with a steady diet of propaganda re: American exceptionalism, means you effectively have a two-tier society, made up of the haves and the have-nots. The steady diet of propaganda continues to make sure the "left/right" divide grows ever deeper, while all of the little people on both sides continue to get arse-fcked by the big end of town.

Feminism and allowing women to do what they want. I mean, there are professors in most state universities literally teaching students that it's empowering for women to have sex with multiple men.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

OP posted pics of a traditional nuclear family. During the 60s, most women got married between the ages of 18 and 22. As a society, we shamed women for having multiple sexual partners. Nowadays, most women spend their 20s, and sometimes even 30s, riding the cock carousel. These mentally unstable sluts are not capable of being loving and committed mothers. Women also initiate the majority of divorce cases which results in them having the rights to half of their husband's income and assets. No wonder the divorce rate is so high.

How do you know people back in the 50s were legitimately happier and were not just living some gigantic delusional cope of an existence? Men slaving away for dollars an hour, women trapped in the house, kids being called "sport" incessantly. Grass is always greener. We live in arguably the greatest time in human history. There's so much potential. Don't think about it through a negative lens.

It's called consumerism. Parents and kids didn't have TVs, cell phones, and computers where they could post on BB forums all day. So, there was more social interaction and time spent with family. Likewise, new houses were much smaller back then - under 1,000 sq ft as opposed to 2,350 sq ft today, requiring more interaction with the family as well because people didn't need their space to jack off to internet porn.

You could live pretty well in the 1950s, so long as you can do without air conditioning, internet, high def TVs, cell phones, computers, etc.

I find it bizarre that young American men hark back to the 1950s as a time when life in the US was great, despite being born 30 or 40 years later. Most of your parents weren't even born then, or were kids at best. Where is the info coming from? Old photos and adverts? I don't get it.

We know a lot about the French Revolution too even though we weren't around then.
