@Dj15851Johnson Who benefits from this? While young Ukrainian men die, who is moving in? Who was forced out from this land during WW2? Who is currently moving back in to these “ghost towns”
@grok@AustinPuckhead@Jared_V__@BGatesIsaPyscho@grok so it’s “proven” through another persons observations which could be an assumption or even that person’s opinion rather than proven fact and again from the Soviet Union’s Luna 3 probe? Off subject, can you give me reasons US citizens shouldn’t trust the Soviet Union?
I swear that I am trying as hard as I can to stay optimistic about this country. I really am.
After so many miles, I've realized that one needs to wear blinders to keep anything like optimism up. One needs to travel in a private car with a large sum of money, taking pains to avoid the majority of this country's towns, streets, hotels, and eateries. Stick to popular places; well-traveled routes, highly-rated-on-Google type establishments. If it's reasonably priced, whatever it is -- avoid it. Just swipe the card and smile.
If, as one goes, they catch a glimpse of the seedy, dark, degraded state of so much of the country, they need a scapegoat -- someone to blame. Say it was the liberals, the migrants, the greedy corporations. Or say it's not bad at all. Say it's A-OK -- but then keep moving from node to node within high-credit-score-America, making sure never to linger too long in the places that are so A-OK.
If anyone says it's awful sad, or not that great -- shut them down; tell them they're wrong, get a little indignant. Call them a communist, or a fag. Tell them to go to China. Tell them we're awesome and it's getting better -- that whatever bad they've seen, their eyes deceive them.
No one really wants to hear this kind of talk. It's not a message that sells. People rightfully find it distressing. But while we might have money, and segments of American society might be thriving -- overall and by the by, this country is becoming a place in a weird, haunting kind of decline. A hypertrophied decline; a kind of decline caused by gluttony, Godlessness, and fraud.
One can only raise the rallying cry just so long before the real weight of this stuff bears down on them. There's just something deeply wrong here. It's bigger than politics, bigger than every issue on the news. There isn't "one weird trick" that will fix it. You can't talk about how bad it's getting. You have to either find a way to pay your way past it, or to ignore it, or to detach from it. If you notice or say anything about it, make sure it's positive or the knives will come out.
I write this from a shitty motel in Erie, PA. I've been fending off heartbreak over this country for a long while, and here in Erie, I've lost the battle. Good God I do not know where we went wrong, and I am sorry to say that I do not have an answer.
