@caekislove@Humpleupagus@sickburnbro@verita84eva Everyone knows we're a failed regime, but until Joe Normie can't buy toilet paper he'll continue watching Nog ball and sucking down shitty beer.
@Humpleupagus@sickburnbro@verita84eva Absolutely. Take that Baltimore bridge collapse, for example. It's been weeks and the wreckage is still there. They haven't even bothered to unload the wrecked freighter. All the wreckage of the bridge is still there, too. If this were any other country, there'd be political analysts on TV using it as an example of how they are a "failed regime".
@Shlomo@Humpleupagus@sickburnbro@verita84eva Like I said in another thread, say what you will about the Chicoms, but if that had happened in Shanghai they'd have had the area cleared within days and would be well under way rebuilding the span, at this point.
@caekislove@Humpleupagus@sickburnbro@verita84eva I'd be interested if any foreign media is pointing this out. I understand American media is retarded but have a little more faith in the foreign media
It's really a double edged sword. Societies come together out of some need. If they're successful they fill it, but in filing it, the later generations become detached from the real need that brought the society together, and therewith, begin to neglect the structures that served that need, which leads to collapse. Ironically, success is the cause of the decline.
Going out for a drive today I was thinking about it a lot, you see a lot of buildings, and I really question whether we could build those buildings today. Imagine these multi-story buildings made out of red brick, that's not how we build buildings anymore, we just put up some made in China girders, slap some made in China siding on it, fill it with made in China insulation, and Pat our cells on the back as to how great we are.
You look at multi-story red brick buildings, and I just don't know if we as a civilization are capable of doing this thing anymore. Most of the people who built these things are either retiring, retired, or long dead.
Talking about it now, it reminds me of the archaeological remains of the Harappan civilization. Archaeologists were able to tell the decline of the civilization because they went from being extremely well kept and well regulated and doing the right things and doing things in a sophisticated manner to later on being a lot sloppier in the way that they do things, not following rules that obviously existed before, and doing things in an increasingly less sophisticated manner until the civilization just up and disappeared one day.
The bronze age collapse is relatively unique in the fact that over the course of such a short period of time so many major civilizations completely disappeared, but that doesn't mean that it's the first or last time civilizations will collapse. Just a little while before the Western Roman empire collapsed people didn't remotely think that it could ever happen, they just thought that the empire would last forever. Until it didn't... On the other hand, from an anthropological perspective, it was quite obvious that the Roman empire had fallen from its peak...
Its the great mouse experiment. Struggle builds innovation and necessity. If we have nothing to struggle against we start to fracture and find things to struggle against that dont exist. Do you think an amish woman thinks about the patriarchy while churning or sewing?
The sad part is that the Amish really only exist because of the surrounding society. They'd likely have been crushed long ago but for the existence of the republic. They're not built for war or defense, and let's be honest.... except maybe where there's a natural barrier, that's been a central feature of every successful society.
Tl;dr the Amish don't have to worry about Ukrainian buttsex because we're taking that up for them.
I wonder how they're doing in light of compulsory education law and Wisconsin v. Yoder. Are their kids getting rainbow flagged in public school or are the states forcing them to add fags into their private school curriculum?
Columbia give me hope. It's proof that you can call something a country, but nonetheless, the diplomatically recognized government doesn't control all of the land.
This guy does great videos and some of the details he mentions I've never heard before and they're chillingly accurate to our current society. Everyone focuses on the beautiful ones, but nobody mentions the genocidal ones.
The heart of many fallen empires often stop believing in governments altogether, and so different structures take over. It's one reason why the mafia is so powerful in italy.
No idea, I would garner they are doing some progressive shit because they are allowing tractors and cell phones in some groups now. Whats worse is the women have cell phones.
