This has been the most accurate 30 minute video displaying my understanding (been researching this for a long time too) of what is bound to happen in China. Saving it in case I ever come into a conversation about the situation that China is facing. While Americans here are also going to have a Rocky few years ahead, I’m at least grateful we are actively separating our markets from the Chinese cause that is where the most tension will be.

My dad too foresaw this, he is roughly the same age as your dad too. I’ve noticed the careless boomers tend to be in the earlier years, while those farther back didn’t follow the rest of the boomer trends yet are categorized as one just because they were still part of the population boom of the time. Had an ex friend boomer that just kept taking advantage of the system, she’s in her 60’s, like she’ll have to pay for the debt she contributes and takes advantage of. 😣

This video certainly would explain why I never really considered myself as ‘one of the girls.’ Was raised to be more open to the masculine aspects as a tomboy but honestly liked the idea of being feminine yet had to deal with the ridicule of certain feminine behavior. The funny thing was as a kid I excelled at certain things like sports, at least in the top 3-5 athletic girls and maybe 5 guys were faster than me, that changed when puberty hit 🙃 I remember as a kid wanting to have a different life that was more traditional but my mom would always say, “Well you better marry someone rich,” and was put through a lot of pressure to please others. Only for society to light itself on fire and be gaslit that this anarchy is what I wanted, yeah, big turn off for wanting to create a family.

The war of Vietnam certainly shifted because the graphic facts of war were demonstrated, too many boomers jumped in retaliation. Looking back, they just seem so pampered to not think twice about war. Meanwhile my generation grew up with the war of terrorism. The boomers don’t understand how lucky they really were how much their parents made their society healthy and happy, and they complain it was a system that needed to change 😩

What do I want? The respect of individualism and balance to create a prosperous society that brings harmony. Perhaps it’s too much to ask for these days.

The part that sucks the most is the world thinks us Americans are out to get the world when really we are just a crutch trying to get these countries back on their feet. Honestly I have more hope with the Pacific Asian countries than I do for most Western Europe. My respect for Asian countries goes higher as they are stepping up and working with us to strengthen their countries so they don’t act like leaches and they have a chance to participate in the global stage, helping stabilizing peace in the rise of conflict happening because of China’s desperation. Whereas my respect for Europeans has gotten lower and lower, the entitlement is astronomical. There’s some except toons but the ones in control of the EU is certainly not helping anyone, especially the stability of Europe’s future. It’s heartbreaking in the last decade I have begun to question things about what us the fucking point, we had men die on those beaches and it was all for nothing in the end! Our men, American men, died to give Europeans the chance to have their countries back, and they sold it in shame. On top of that, the ones who are aloud the mics speak with disrespect acting like Americans want to top them. I think that is the part that hurts the most, it shows they know very little about the American mindset, we’re not perfect but our intentions whenever we get involved is to help bring stability, and it’s ALWAYS twisted into some anti American rhetoric of us bullying other countries. Many of these Europeans lack foresight how this attitude is going to be their downfall if they don’t get their act together. Personally I propose to perhaps give Switzerland the baton to help tensions in Europe, they are rational and clear minded. They gave zero biased allegiance, and they know and work with Europeans more that Americans do. Many Europeans are perplexed whenever we do say what’s on our mind, heart on the sleeve, yet they automatically assume we are thinking something different. Now I think once the Brits get their act together, there can be a chance for the continent. I think the Polish is a possible stable force in East Europe and they certainly are more practical than many of the other countries imo. And I do believe that the EU needs to break up and get Europeans to wake up and understand they need to start their concerns LOCALLY and then work together, not be dominated by bureaucrats. That said, Americans are not and never are interested in being a crutch again! We’ll help those who do what they can to improve their situation, but we’re tired of trying to help those who spite us in return. We want to collaborate, however when it’s most of our resources used, of course we’ll get the final say how things go, we are paying the bill. If anyone wants to say otherwise, FORK IT UP.

It's funny seeing many California's here agree with your assessment of a lack of cultural identity, the main things people think of what California offers is Hollywood, tech, and now political discourse. I live in a resident that is isolated from California, down to being neglected, for years growing up I've heard many people complain about the lack of culture, as the brightest youths are forced to move someplace to find a job and our stupid country decided to invest in being a retirement community. Lately that has changed, my life I have experienced different waves of people flooding in with different reasons to move where I live, that was for a long time a last resort to many people. The thing is there is this merge of people who couldn't afford their homes in the liberal elite areas, mixed with a long resentment of the state that a new culture is forming here unintentionally. For over 75 years this area has tried and failed to get separated from the state, however with this new flood of residents, we'll have to see.

Recently there was a study that compared the mental welfare of children who were raised in families that the parents were liberal to conservative parents. The stud showed a stark difference that the conservative households the children had a higher chance of strong mental health compared to children raised by liberals. Looking back at the techniques, liberal parents tend to focus on raising their child to be activists and they have a lot of depressing viewpoints. Good example is the climate change agenda that has been used over and over to scare the future generations. Whereas the conservative families have the opposite affect AND ironically they tend to end up being closer. The focus most conservative families tend to focus on is teaching their child structure to success for the future. There is a balance of discipline that is firm but fair, children need to start off with stability and structure plays a huge role in that. The parents over time is focused on teaching their children the tools to succeed anything they need or potentially want to advance, discipline plays a role in becoming determined, a person needs to have the discipline to focus their eye on the goal that they become resilient. On top of that, conservative families tend to honor traditional beliefs of different religions or at least respect the structures. Religion is how a society is able to both get along with each other and provide clarity and nurture the soul. To put belief in something beyond oneself can help assist tensions from building up, and in some cases it helps guide a person to find a purpose in their life that they become happier to having some meaning in their life. Worst yet, for 50 years the American education has been infiltrated with the late left, doing any part to degrade the contrary beliefs of the conservatives. To the point they have brainwashed generations, and hysteria is largely attributed to how these schools teaches them little of success as instead are more focused on indoctrinating. So yeah, we are going to find a lot of people are going to have a lot of struggle in the next decade I’d predict.

Is it possible if bringing countries to break off globalism and focus more on strengthening their manufacturing at their home could help alleviate this potential crisis crash? As much as you laughed at some who think they could avoid this potential crisis, I’m one of the ones who is open to what options we have that could make it at least more manageable. With that, I think it’s necessary to bring back our manufacturing back closer to home, we need our economy to not be reliant on others as much as possible, same could be said of other nations.

The way how things are going, looks like Xi plans to change that before it’s too late. Many outside of China had high hopes for the country.

Your experience with LA is similar to mine when I was there from 2016-2019, I can’t tell you the amount of times I tried to convince others how out of touch they were with the average American, dare say, the average Californian not living on the coast! That said, I think more and more people are finally waking up to how much the elites are responsible for the decline of our country at our expense. More people are vocally condemning the Democrat elites, the corrupted GOP’s are being brought to awareness of their involvement with the establishment. Idk if you plan to do a more recent update seeing how the tide is turning now that strong Democratic elite snob cities like NYC and Chicago are getting a good dose of reality now they only had a FRACTION is illegals taking up their resources, I think this tactic that governor Abbott has done has FINALLY kicked every of these incompetent people to see exactly how little the party cares for them. Especially with the blacks, they are finally talking about facts and there’s more of a push to reject the diversity force that their faces was used for the longest time. Women thanks to Barbie are recognizing they were robbed to value the qualities of being feminine, not feminists, but appreciate beauty and the positive qualities of tradition. We’re also robbed of a happy life because potential partners are at the ultimate low that men barely want to interact with women. I think it would be great if you could cover this as part of an update, though idk how likely you’ll see this post.

Recently had this realization that even though we are going to face a tumousulous period, in the end I know we are going to be fine. It think it’s best to face the direction we are heading, many tried to steer the course to a more peaceful transition but unfortunately the radicals are the ones in control. This ultimately means we have to accept that they had the chance to compromise when there was a chance and that they doomed their, our, fate to a hard turn. The key is to get thing to balance and recourse ourselves to find unity again. In the end, we’ll be fine, we were fine as an isolated country, and one of the big factors of how the US got ahead of the world is because there is a strong encouragement to foster adaptability. Our whole history is full of Americans in different periods adapting, in turn we ended up shaping influence unintentionally to the rest of the world. The thing is that many seem to have neglected to understand about the foundation of this country is that it was built by men way ahead of their time, an experiment to create a nation that would have checks and balances to keep the country out of the hands of authoritarians. If this regime continues, there is bound to be conflict to correct it, after the fight, people will look to find a reminder of what was the purpose of this country. Chances are people will look to religion to guide them through these conflicting times, but I think dusting off the history books and actually study the true intentions that the founding fathers and many leaders after had intended to create a union to have a country put the interests of locals first but unified to protect their interests. Flawed as they may be, but there is an understanding that these flawed men had template for one of the most prosperous ways a country can exists, down to having an opening for the future to be able to change the rules to fit the needs that they were not able to accomplish, the 13th Amendment comes to mind. Perhaps that is too optimistic for many to see when things seem bleak, I guess that is the difference between faith and hope. Hope is believing when you have that light at the end of the tunnel knowing there is a better outcome. Faith requires strength in believes of little evidence yet knowing there is still light somewhere and will not stop searching for it. With a rise of interest in religion, believing in a higher being that is beyond one’s comprehension, it will further teach people to not lose sight and have faith. It’s our optimism I believe we need to find again, and hold it close, it is going to be our greatest assets that will help guide us through this dark path we are going to go. It is futile to ignore it, as it is better to accept it, find peace, and be open to find a resolve if possible. It is best to prepare than to do nothing, and to be honest, the irony is that the nation was intended to not be a part of the world’s problems, yet here we are, we are probably going to go through pain, but I think in some ways Americans are more looking forward to not having to deal with the rest of the world. In the end, I believe we’ll be fine, we’re due for this growing pain. I can’t have the same confidence for other parts of the world though.

I live in a unique area of the Ecotopia but rejects much of it along with the States of California and Oregon (think areas like about where Sacramento is at, and it’s on point how you described everyone west of the Klamath mountains to a T, however the further East it’s a mixture more of the The Empty Quarter with a sprinkle of Hippies in different regions. There’s a reason why these areas have wanted session from the two dominating states, culturally we tend to be more on the mindset of how you described the Empty Quarter, the left are not as radical and the right is more practical. We do have a cycle of waves of people, in our region, coming in from the SF Bay Area. The last ones were entitled brats who complain how much we’re far behind not understanding the policies they helped enforced while living innSF are why our areas are held back. The irony is that recently we have a small boom, not sure how long it will last, and we’re getting a different waves of people who actually appreciate our region. The locals do worry that this next wave won’t learn the lessons and will create the same cycle of mistakes they made when living in these liberal dystopia cities. It’s going to be an interesting decade, especially when there us still a spirit to separate from the state to create our own state.

What gets me is that their parents were real outstanding people with civil qualities, flaws of their own, but Baby Boomers encouraged the worst from society. I know of so many who scam the system because they are not the ones who have to pay for it.

Personally the one that has the potential to be successful and possibly become a superpower is India, I have a feeling that it will likely happen if they were officially attacked by China and they left BRICS. Brazil could skate by if they play their cards right, not going to be an economic power though, but if they actually play their cards right too, the damage they’ll go through won’t be that much of a blow. China and Russia are in for a lot of hurt. South Africa is already going through hurt.

I think they mainly grouped countries that were the alternative to the capitalist/democratic republic countries that went down their own avenue and people wanted to have a back up in case they did succeed. The thing is some of these countries do have a history between them, specifically China and Russia. The issue is that no matter how much these leaders put on a nice presentation, they do have a serious misdirect of where to take this merge of different countries, especially when one of them (China!) has ulterior motives that doesn’t think about the welfare of the other countries in bolted. People like to think that China and Russia are getting close again, however this is not going to last for various different reasons, but one of the big key issues this alliance has is dealing with the Manchuria peninsula permanently. Russia took it and now relies on the region, China wants it back and from what it sounds like it is not up for debate. Then there’s the issues China has caused for India that likely will chase India away to ally itself with the US, Japan, and Australia. In the meantime it is ironic that the countries that did have economic prosperities were neighboring countries or countries that could be seen as cousins culturally many of these BRICS, with the exception of India. India is the only one playing the long game and not doing stupid shit and it’s paying off for them.
