@nugger @societyoutcasts @EvilSandmich @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff Also people take "collapse" for granted and they also take for granted that the current elites will be displaced. America +100 years is more likely to be ruled by drug cartels than by White nationalists. As for the near future the current power structure is likely to remain in power, but with diminished scope.
A circulation of elites doesn't happen as a matter of course, it only happens when a more competent, better organized group of elites deliberately displace the old elites.
We are fucked
@nugger @societyoutcasts @EvilSandmich @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff I would say it slowly dissolved more than fell.
Rome faded away until Europe sprang from ts bones.
The History of Civilization in Europe by Francois Guizot is where I got this idea from

Not a lot of people seem to remember that. 2008 had high gas prices supposedly caused by Russian hackers or something. Eventually it did come down. I remember that gas was cheap at the beginning of the "global pandemic". Real cheap

@Ottovonshitpost @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @teknomunk @nugger @jeffcliff

Yes, but again that has happened before and people discovered new resources to use, or made improvements in technology to get existing resources cheaper

@nugger @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff

That depends on what type you're referring to. Cloth was made from different materials. Different foods come from different areas.

@EvilSandmich @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @nugger @jeffcliff

That's not happening where I am. Eggs from local sources are still 2-3x the price of store bought

@monsterislandcolonizer @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @nugger @jeffcliff
And very true. Prices around here for "local grass-fed raised with love" ground beef costs around $14/lb.

US Immigration History

As part of the aggressive effort to rewrite history, we often hear that America is 'a nation of immigrants'..

Rarely mentioned is that these immigrants were all from a relatively singular culture, until the end of WW2. What's happened since is completely unprecedented, unnatural.

@spiritsplice@pieville.net you expect me to believe any of that shit

@Terry I see. Just like every other "shortage" I hear about.

@nugger @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff

Trading and commerce between different regions and nations was the driving force behind ALL THOSE COUNTRIES THROUGH HUMAN HISTORY in achieving a higher standard and advancing technology
