  4. Im an English author on psychology living in Bulgaria now and to me its incredibly obvious why the USA has this problem: 1) Pathetic level of education 2) Abandonment by the political class for decades 3) Car culture - no one ever walks anywhere, talks to people, interacts with others - everyone is totally isolated 4) Consumerism - defining your lives by what you buy. Its ultimately nihilistic even for those with the money TO buy plastic crap from China 5) Hyper individualism; if you are a failure its YOUR FAULT 6) Pandemic 7) and not least - Facebook The USA is a place of isolated disaffected people who NEVER socially interact with a cross-section of society; if anyone. So people are utterly desperate for meaning in their lives and community. "Everyone worships, and the reason to worship some kind of God or spiritual force is pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive"

  10. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP EDUCATING YOUR POPULATION I read a Fox News comments section yesterday - it was like a portal into h3ll for this European. NEVER been so happy to pay my taxes for free universities in my life.

  12. Im an author on this subject... This is the list of contributing factors to societal collapse: Plague / disease Y Environmental change Y Massive wealth inequality Y Loss of the administrative class Y The government stops governing Y Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Y Loss of faith in the political system Y Economic collapse Y Exposed obvious corruption Y Crumbling infrastructure Y Mismanagement of a crisis Y Societal division Y Loss of belief in the unity of the society Y Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Y Increased isolationism Y Rising internal violence Y Excessive spending on military / arms race Y Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / hyper inflation Y If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end.

  15. IM A EUROPEAN and I 100% agree they are capitalist horror stories. Last year I watched the Idaho "secret santa" videos and they were UTTERLY HORRIFIC. Yes a guy was helping people - but NONE of those people should have been in those situations in the first place...

  20. IM AN AUTHOR on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - I no longer talk the truth about US or the UK economy, I am aware my comments may push desperate people over the edge. Things are so BAD, the future is next to non-existent in any positive or meaningful way. Life will be significantly worse for the majority of people. Its the end of high living standards.

  21. LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW about the right wing in America...

  22. I'm a British author on the collapse of civilisations - Reagan was the worst president you have had in modern times. The 2nd worst is Obama, he promised so much and delivered nothing, he was the last hope for meaningful change in America and his betrayal of that promise caused 50 million people to give up on politics. THAT led to Trump and everything you have going on today.

  23.  @Clusterboy  - YEP - We wrote dozens of increasingly desperate letters to the US congress explaining what would happen - and it did, exactly as we predicted. Not that it was hard to predict...

  25. Im 54, Im British - the writing on the wall was there for Britain 15 years ago so I got out. Moved to Bulgaria cos it reminded me of the UK in the 70's when neighbours still cared about each other. It was a poor country then. Its absolutely booming now. Which ironically is bad for me as I earn my money in $USD or £GBP and it buys a heck of a lot less than it did 15 years ago LOL. You thnk you guys have inflation problems. when I moved here the average wage in my city was 400 leva - its now 2,200. Thats great for the people here but it does lead to inflation.

  27.  @arellatikvah  I listened to an incredibly podcast on "Novara Media" Episode "ACFM Tripo 35: The Internet" I would absolutely recommend it. One of the guests said "we are to blame, the public, its our fault. We were so used to the hatred of minorities and the neoliberal hyper-capitalism of Thatcher and Reagan that when Blair and Clinton and Obama came about and they said 'its cool to be gay and its cool to be brown' WE all thought they were 100% on our side. They weren't, they were still neoliberal capitalists, they just donned a cool attitude and gave us a few crumbs of economics, but meanwhile, they were still privatising everything, still transferring wealth to the top 1%" "Obama was one of the most intelligent and articulate of presidents the USA has ever had." YES - and he used it to con the nation into thinking he was 100% there for you. Which is why in my book - he is the 2nd worst. Trumpp can NOT be better, he is totally incapable, but Obama could have transformed the USA and it would be genuinely world leading today - instead, he transferred wealth to the 1% and he handed the country to Trump.

  28.  @georgefurman4371  - I could not agree more; to be honest I think the USA is in for a very hard time. BUT I think it will emerge from it a better more equal nation. According ot the book "the 4th turning" America is entering the 4th turning - the collapse phase. But every collapse is followed by a rebirth in an 80 - 100 year cycle. And Gen Z are amazing; they are so creative, they are so organised, they are so far left it really will terrify the establishment. They are a very different people. Technology is not magic to them like it is to us. consumerism is not new and special to them like it was to us. I have literally seen teens the last week playing with the medieval cup and ball game. they will be the ones that rebuild - and they will do a good job of it. But there are some tough times ahead for the UK and the USA.

  29. IM REALLY GOOD AT STATISTICAL MATHS Im autistic and this is my 'thing" - I built a large company on Amzn JUST by analysing statistical data i can not get the maths to add up I said before the election "there is almost zero mathematical possibility of a Trump victory - only a very low turn out can help him and postal voting is up 22%, early voting up 50%, he is ******" OH what do you know - no one voted on the afternoon of election day [the morning was a record]. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist - but something went ver wrong after 12 on election day.

  31. My sister bought a very expensive house that she could not actually afford but really wanted for the land for her horses when she was about 23. So this would be the early 1990's. She took it on a 30-year mortgage to afford it and it was a variable rate at base rate +0.5%. Which was standard in the UK back then cos the interest rate was like 9.5%. She has been laughing the last few years - she pays basically NO interest.

  32.  @tamarabartolo9185  - it is one of those weird dichotomies. The stock market is not tied to the economy, but the economy is tied to the stock market - its a one way steet in a bad way.

  33. AS A EUROPEAN sorry I agree - Trump IS Am3ric4. No European was shocked when you elected him a 2nd time. Everyone I know said "Well what do you expect, Am3ric4ns..." I know this is not all of you, by a long way - but it IS you as a nation. As a Nation you deserve Trump. The way YOU look at Trump is the way the world looks at Am3ric4. In the 1980's you made money your God and this is where it got you.

  34. I AM LITERALLY JUST READING THIS BOOK NOW its very good, a little bit slow, could get to the point a bit quicker... But I 100% recommend it. BTW - its called "The Fourth Turning"

  35.  @Combatwhombat  YES I agree - In fact I believe some economists are saying that we have NEVER seen wealth inequality like this in human history. EVEN feudal peasants had the security of home and food as long as there was no famine. The modern homeless person is the equivalent of an "outlaw" - a person thrown out of society and outside the protection of the law for a crime...

  36. IN 1994 MY BASIC SALARY WAS £17K I was 24 years old - for a person to have the same standard of living today as that bought in 1994 they would need to earn £44,500 = $57k This was basically a tellesale job for a 24 year old. MY actual pay [cos I was good] was £27k = £70.7k or $90,000 WHAT 24 YEAR OLD EARNS $90K TODAY...??? I had just bought a 3 bedroomed stone built house, I had a Toyota Supra twin turbo, and I was out clubbing 3 nights a week...! Which you COULS do if you earned $90k

  37. Very few. Very very few. Im an author on psychology - narcissism is my speciality. They don't have the object permanence or long term goal setting to become CEO's usually. It's way more likely they are sociopaths or even psychopaths. Narcissists more often tear down what others have created than build anything themselves.

  39.  @arellatikvah  - Im just listening to "the rest is politics" podcast and Alister Campbell says the French President Macron's [who he knows] greatest fear is that his legacy will be the same as Obamas, that he was elected on such high hopes, failed the people so badly that he directly led to Trump - and Macron fears he has let the people down so badly his legacy will be LaPen the French fascist. I find this interesting cos as far as I knew I was almost a lone voice saying this for the last 5 years.

  40.  @georgefurman4371  - You are most welcome. Change has to start at the top; the bottom is fragmented and despondent. The government HAS to get money out of politics and to start working for the PEOPLE of America. Why would you believe in government if government has done nothing for you in your lifetime...??? ID object to paying taxis if I saw nothing for it. But instead, I have a brand new entirely FREE hospital being built literally 400 yeards from me, and brand new roads and great subsidised public transport... I have a REASON to believe in the unity of society and in government - as imperfect as ours is.

  41. IM 54 - BRITISH Ive never bought a car on finance in my life, maybe a small bank loan. Bought my first house at 24 for 2.5 X my salary as a telesales person - THAT WAS NORMAL I do NOT come from a rich family, I come from a very poor family, I bought my parents a car...!!! Not the other way around.

  42. Here in Bulgaria tax is 10% of EVERYTHING. Flat rate. Income tax 10%. Capital gains tax 10%. Director of a charity 10%. Gifts 10%. Company car 10%. You work part time at a shop on Sundays 10%. No deductions, no loopholes. Costs almost nothing to enforce or collect and you can't worm your way out of it. This is why OTHER forms of corruption are so high, cos the rich ALWAYS want to make more money and they cant do it on the tax system...

  43.  @scottpreston5074  - Yeah. I mean our standard of living is nothing like Denmark. But its amazing what you can have on JUST 10% flat rate tax. I had to go to the hospital yesterday, its brand new and I get terrific care, no waiting time, back on Friday for a check up.

  44.  @henrygustav7948  - I literally had a guy swearing at me yesterday saying "You must be one of those **** **** **** lefties that doesn't understand things have to be paid for by taxes"

  45. AM3RIC4 LIKES TO THINK IT OVERTOOK BRITAIN it did NOT - Am3ric4 is still 30 years behind the UK - only now that 30 years is in mass layoffs and collapse...!!! If you want to know your future - LOOK AT THE UK...!!!

  46. That is essentially what they did in the UK. Cos my sister had lower outgoings but maintained he income despite being in lockdown for a year - she is buying a new car, an EV. People have money and they are about to spend it and boost the economy.

  47.  @GoldenRetrievers4President  - I absolutely agree. The entire thing is about doing NOTHING while giving the illusion to voters on either side that a huge battle is going on...

  48.  @patrickvanmeter2922  - agreed.

  49. THE AVERAGE IQ IN AM3RIC4 IS 97.4 that is why you guys have PRESIDENT Trump. For context NORTH Korea - 98.8 You have ALWAYS needed to steal other countries' intelligent people.

  50. IM AN AUTHOR ON PSYCHOLOGY I jotted this down yesterday about the right-wing... The left wing project onto the right wing things that are not there. Emotions, motivations, moralities, many things... I no longer believe being “right wing” is an ideology. I now think it is pure SELFISHNESS Itts ME ME ME ME and ME... They don’t want to pay taxes, they don’t want to educate YOUR child they don’t want to p[ay for YOUR healthcare Its not an Ideology - its a SELFISHOLOGY The idea that they BELIEVE in something is the left wings PROJECTION onto them. In psychology, we call this "veneering". All evidence suggests they don’t believe in ANYTHING except themselves and their desires. They HATE society - cos society forces them to be nice to people and pay taxes That is why they are so happy to see it burn to the ground - they HATE being forced to care about other people And the reason they HATE the left so much and with such visceral passion is the left make them FEEL BAD about themselves. THEY KNOW they are selfish c***s who don’t care about others and when the left DO, it points out to them how horrible they are This is why they love Trump - he gave them PERMISSION to be the horrible people they are...
