And done. Given the echo chamber, lies, liabilities, suppression of ideals and much
More.

It’s done, move on. Wasted time.

Nah, we’ll be fine mike. Older folks thought we were all fucked when you were in your 20’s too.

The future generation got this. They just need to grow up first. Not fair to expect teenagers to act like reasoned adults with decades of life experience.

LOL.

Despite the bullshit some of us like being Americans. Feel free to call us when you need help in a war again though.

It's not just age. The world is different, worse. The next presidential election will be interesting. I don't think the outcomes will ever be good again. This one wasn't but it was never going to be a good one.

nah, this country survived 1968. The shit we've seen over the last 5 years is nothing compared to that

That’s just not true. The world is better and safer than it has ever been before. History suggest that trend will continue.

Schools are a disaster. Most of society is a disaster.

I don’t know about schools. Haven’t been there since 2005. My guess would be they haven’t changed significantly since then though.

Society is fine. Same as it ever was.

It isn't the same.

It's a terminal decline and it's not just contained to the USA, but it is worst in the USA. I am very proud of my citizenship and being an American, I would never in a million years want to be anything else, but you've gotta be realistic. Continental Europe offers a comparable quality of life without all this toxicity. Australia and New Zealand the same. There's no reason to stay and watch the United States crumble.

Yeah Europe isn't crumbling. STRONG as ever!

Of course it's not strong as ever. But at least they are proud of who they are and where they come from. Tell a French person that France and the French way of life is inherently evil and must be "reformed"...you won't get far. Same applies to the Spaniards and Italians. Even the Germans! They just are much more careful about how they express it.

It's all doomed eventually. The United States is going to turn its nuclear stockpile against the rest of the western world eventually and there's nothing anyone can do to prevent it. You see how these people tolerate dissent. But until that day comes there is an alternative out there if you are willing to try it.

Same applies to Americans, amigo. The French are arrogant no doubt, but they simply can’t compete with us when it comes to telling people to fuck off who don’t like us. It’s a big reason why even gun control advocates despise that weirdo fuck Piers Morgan

Right because when most historically literate people list the points in this country's history that were true threats to the existence to the United States as a sovereign democratic republic that respects the civil rights of all men, the top thing on the list is "1968".

You know some people grow out of being know it all dipshits with all the wrong answers at the age of 23, it just looks like Ogie is 10 years or so behind the curve.

You are such a snowflake.

We're doing fine. Some things need work but overall America (the country not the poster) isn't going anywhere.

You have the Sun of Righteousness overhead from the Book of Malachi, Ch. 4, but even if you recognized the profundity of this, you have no answer to what is required of you. You don't even know where to begin.

Judgment has fallen even on the Jews now. They would know the answer, if they only looked to the teaching of their forefathers. Christ taught the correct wisdom, but was rejected or not understood. Catholics do not know the wisdom of Christ, because they substituted their own man-made teaching, founded on idolatry of the Church and Pope, for his. So they, too, are lost.

Oh god.
