The United States of America is going down. For the last century we have bled our nation dry in order to aid countries both for our benefit and in the
name of democratic monopolization. Yet as we give and take from the world, internally everything has been seized and taken away so that soon there
will be nothing left, there will be no country left.
This nation fights wars, invades countries, and generally tends to make a mess of things in the name of capitalism, profit, and prosperity for
everyone, so long as it fills the wallet. We cannot be expected to survive this way forever. As tyranny grips nations abroad, naturally we intend to
destroy such tyranny, yet at the same time tyranny has taken root within our own country, living and thriving in broad daylight, hiding under the
banner of the “amended constitution”. There is nothing that we can do, our system of living will always lead to this, will always compel us to
aid, and at the same time ignore our own blemishes, and until eventually they become one in the same.
We are a broken country that needs refreshment, needs to leave the world alone and regain our own health, needs to fix our own problems, and needs to
stop worrying about global power, money, and national influence. But how can that happen? It can’t. Not now that we have tasted the fruit of
outsourced labor, international trade, exploitation of natural resources abroad. When we strip the land of another nation, it is not our problem; it
is swept under the rug known as the media. How hard is it to change when our consumerism is so easily tolerated by a world that cannot push us into
submission?
We cannot change, we will not go quietly, and this country will go down in flames before we have to give up this lifestyle that we have gained. Yet
the world acts like it is the individual fault of every member of this country. Let me tell you this here now. Most people just want to be left alone
to pursue their own wishes. We do not want to make hard decisions, we do not want to exploit other nations, but guess what, it happens. Somewhere down
the line, someone has to make the hard choices, someone has to take action, and someone has to take the blame. Otherwise this lifestyle could not
exist, it could not sustain itself.
What do you expect? What empire on earth has ever peacefully fluttered out? The United Kingdom cannot judge us for hanging onto this crazy ideal, for
they do the same to this day. They know what it is like, what globalization feels like, and they know how hard the fall is. That empire is all but
gone, and yes, it went down in flames, flames that are still burning to this day. How could one assume that ours will not do the same in due time?
There is no alternative, there is no escape. The American empire is doomed, just the same as every empire that came before it was also doomed from the
beginning.
We ride the wave, for there is nothing else that can be done.
