[quote=CONCHO]Hahahahahaha I love it! Multiple wars with no end in sight, the largest debt accumulated in the history of the earth, infrastructure rotting across the country, record unemployment, jobs flying overseas faster than ever, a drug war raging out of control on the border, a healthcare system that is broken beyond repair, and probably about 1000 other things that I can’t be bothered to name here.
And what are we talking about? Divisive “values issues” like abortion, gay marriage, “don’t-ask-don’t tell” etc…, just like we were talking about in 2007, just like we were talking about in 2003, in 1999, in 1995, in 1991, in 1986…[/quote]
Yeah, no kidding.
The US Empire is entering late-stage capitalist imperialism and all that entails: export the proletariat for cheap labor, constant resource wars, more and more militarization of the economy and society, rapid growth of a bloated and corrupt financial capitalist over-class with associated growing wealth disparity(beyond what was seen in the Robber Barren days) and maintenance of a ever-growing police state and underclass( a police state is a huge industry btw) with constant economic crisis and constant monetary injections to keep asset prices up and the consumer economy goosed(which is driven by the top 20% – the bottom 80% can wither up and die as far as anybody is concerned).
Eventually the system will alienate the majority of the population under it’s current logic, one way or another. Or just implode.
This is not a rational society.
I forgot to add the dramatic mental and physical health deterioration that has been going on for decades that is now at epidemic levels and worsening.
