How America will collapse (by 2025)

[Shell B]

I appreciate your interpretation that I'm being perhaps a little fatalistic

I get the sense that you don't appreciate it at all, but you have to admit that your assessment is rather linear.

however, after watching Americans sit back through one crisis after another with outrage lasting no longer than the next news cycle, I seem to have lost confidence that change will transpire.

That's a blanket statement. I assure you that once something has outraged me, it never ceases to do so.

Who do you feel will step up and start to initiate actions that will lead to the majority of the country following in order to change things?

I actually never said that I felt that would happen. I merely pointed out all of the possibilities that you overlooked in your doomsaying.

You can't expect me to say who would start a revolution when the need for a full-scale revolution has not arisen. Now, if action were absolutely necessary, there is only the hope that a group would emerge.

History shows us that things do not always turn out the way one expects. You can never predict the rise or fall of a country until it is upon you. As I mentioned before, the United States has boosted its economy during a war before. In fact, it was World War II and the Great Depression had just occurred. Crops were fucking ravaged, the economy tanked and Americans persevered. You just never know what will happen.
