The Biggest Reason The USA Is Failing

We aren't building infrastructure. We outsource our money/debt to other nations. All for politicians to take more money from the piggy bank and take a little off the top from small absurd projects and grants that are unnecessary. The US has allowed the politicians to utilize the government as an extension of the bank and fund only their interests against their own countrymen.

What do we get? Immigration, inflation, degradation of infrastructure, crime, pride in sin, dirty cities, etc. A mixing pot of different cultures that value different things at the expense of our society.

Meanwhile China is doing major projects all over the world. Building infrastructure. Slowly climbing upwards into a better military country with better infrastructure with a giant population pool to utilize.



Meanwhile in Russia, which is in a war with Ukraine pushed by the UN/EU, is building things like this church below and pushing strong values aligned with religion. This church is to honor past military that died, and the floors are built by melted German tanks from WW2. "But but but I thought they're a commie chithole!"



Thankfully our politicians are getting into the real issues at hand.
-Kamala is barking like the blacks out in Atlanta giving them free concerts for rappers talking about pussy
-Trump is just making fun of Kamala and barely hitting any real topics of interest for the country.

What about inflation? What about failed Fed financial planning? What about out rising debt? What about the border? What about crime? What about taxes? What about where our country is headed?

Our main competitors, rivals, enemies, etc are all on an upward trajectory while we are on a downward trajectory.

Want a sign of real downfall? Look at what our architecture looks like nowadays. Look where our money is going.

Well South Africa, like the continent of Africa, is slowly being colonized by China.

Because in 100 years the USA will be like 25% white and will have a median wealth similar to that of Spain, Turkey or Greece, but far uglier of course because everyone will be obese and brown. The USA ranking in school scores will be that of Mexico and other south American nations. Already is that low in some black/hispanic majority school districts.

Thank god I'll be dead by then.

I notice that places become far less attractive the less white they become. My college used to be 65% white, but now its 50% white a few year after graduation. I noticed that Indian and Mexican women are on average WAY less attractive than white college girls. Most Hispanic college women are also overweight or obese and most Asian women are rather plain looking. I miss seeing those cute, smiley, blonde women when I walk around campus. Used to see them everywhere when I was in still in college.

Most Hispanic Americans/Mexicans( legal residents from Mexico who reside in the USA w/o full citizenship) are not dangerous or violent, but they are physically unattractive and generally unskilled. They tend to be extremely short and fat. Esp. the women who have incredibly high obesity rates (2nd highest in the world outside of black American women) and sadly , relatively high rates of dwarfism. Their accents (usually think Mexican accents despite being American) are also ugly.


We should take in more Russians and Ukrainians imo. They are far better looking, intelligent, will easily assimilate, are taler and much thinner than Mexicans or South Americans on average. 25% of the immigrants should be eastern European imo. People naturally like living around whites.

That's one small piece of a much larger picture. Actually assuming that alone is the the issue is pretty retarded.

There was a $1.5T infrastructure bill passed like 3.5 years ago, and there hasn't been any evidence of that money being spent so far.

This country is trash. Taxed to death, horrific women, strict high punishment legal system. Like yeah I understand we make good money here but at the same time 67% of people living paycheck to paycheck is really saying that we aren't.

Fool.

You should read 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' by John Perkins. I read it over 15 years ago and it blew my mind. That's what China is doing right now. The US used to do it a lot. Create debt upon 3rd world countries with highly exaggerated promises of benefits from massive infrastructure projects, coming from "experts" at large engineering firms, working on behalf of the federal government. The details are mind blowing over hundreds of pages of the book. But the gist is creating debt they can't pay back and in exchange for the debt you get political sway over the indebted country, boss them around, get them to say sir yes sir!!!

We do have weak infrastructure but that's not the heart of our issues. You hit one mention that is it. Multiculturalism, the opposite of a melting pot. Multiculturalism sounds nice until you realize it's just purposeful division, not expecting assimilation, catering to complainers. It's never worked, and it isn't skin color, it's in the name culture. See: India, the Middle East for 5000 years. The conflicts in their infancy in Western Europe today. Northern Ireland for decades. Ever drank an Irish Car Bomb? That name exists for a reason. And they were all the same ethnicity.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

Why did South America fall?
Hint: demographics.

Same will happen to the USA, but it will probably be like 100 years. White Americans are very affluent and well educated, some of the best educated and most affluent in the world, Asian Americans are also incredibly well educated and affluent. Combined these groups make up around 67% of the population (whites 60% and Asians/Arabs/Eurasians around 7%) and are holding up the USA. Once the white and Asian American population combined falls below 40%, USA won't be successful as a nation. It can't.

Who is going to make up the other 60%? A lot of hispanics are white. Blacks in the US have been a stagnant share of the US population for decades.

But whites being a mere plurality instead of a majority isn't good for the US. No majority ethnicity, just a plurality existing in a country never works. Add in a big helping of young Americans being taught to hate their own country for a couple of generations (most of it doesn't stick, some does) and problems accumulate like plaque accumulating in arterial walls.

There are not " a lot of Hispanic whites." Only like 10% of Hispanic Americans are white (mostly Spaniards) . Mexico and South America itself is only like 5-20% white. Vast majority of Hispanic Americans are mixed race.

98% of the ones coming across our border illegally or through the CBP one app are non-white people.Mind you the other 2% aren't usually white Hispanics, they are mostly Russians/Ukrainians.

Patriotic mericans are waking up to the fact that every major institution is filthily, gratuitously corrupt and incompetent…the military, justice dept., police, courts, regulators, secret service, diplomats…

But the people get the Govt they deserve because we’re a dishonest, corrupt, narcissistic, deranged, selfish people…well maybe not op

China has a much bigger population size. You're not going to be able to compete with that in terms of infrastructure building. For their population, the struggle comes mostly from a lower qualitee of life - each individual owns less tings.

India also has the potential for great infrasture but because they're so messy and disorganized, its hard for them to build things properly and catch up to China. But the potential is there.

USA ranks 15th in median wealth.
Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...alth_per_adult. USA also ranks 3rd in average wealth.

And the USA is 33% black, hispanic and native Americans, and most of those groups save nothing and spend all their money on fast food,drugs and cars, so the fact that the country ranks so high is noteworthy. White and Asian Americans are the richest and best educated in the world.

Not saying that the USA is the best nation for everyone, but its still a very desirable nation to live in when compared to eastern Europe. Plus all the politics, world news , economics, new inventions etc. happen in the USA.

And yet people are fleeing from Russia and China to the USA, not the other way around.

The real issue is the US has gotten lazy and decadent. We work 40 hour weeks and people are pushing for 32. Meanwhile China works 9/9/6 (12 hours per day, 6 days per week)

The typical child's dream in the US is to be a Youtube/TikTok star. They typical child's dream in China is to be an astronaut.

The typical adult's dream in the US is to become a landlord/investor and live on passive income. The typical adult's dream in China is to build a business.

We are, as a society, lazy and decadent.

I wish people from Russia are fleeing to the USA.

Wouldn't mind taking some nice-looking European immigrants in for once instead of only obese people from Mexico and South America
