If this was 10 years ago I would agree, but take a look outside now, the cost of living is high everywhere and most people can only dream of owning a house even in rural areas due to boomers and blackrock.
America will still be around no matter what but in what form, currently its where the elites on both sides are constantly screwing over the people of their wealth, liberty and happiness. I don't disagree that we will still exist but its naive to think that this broken system is gonna last much longer given that we've gone past the point where people could co-exist, that is without mentioning immigration and the constant and daily anti-natalist preaching by the left. I stand by what I said before that a civil war will eventually happen but no matter who wins, america will still be around, either as one united state or with states somehow being able to force dc to let them secede
Take a look at the plethora of other shithole countries far worse than America. Notice they haven't gone into anarchy or revolution for a long time. Cope harder.
IMO there will be no collapse where the American people cease to exist barring a catastrophic nuclear world war, but in a situation where we start to see moves towards bi-/multi-polarity (it's definitely stirring after the US weaponized the financial system against Russia) + gridlock/bureaucractic inertia/lack of faith in Washington, the US could start to see a higher structural inflation due to a growing inability to export its inflation to the rest of the world + limits to its ability to resist entropy through access to cheap energy and resources.
China hasn't been a country for that long. China itself has a very, very turbulent history of dynasties and empires. To call it stable is laughable.
The 60's never ended, and almost all of today's ills can be traced back to it. If anything kills America you can point to that era.
Unstable for sure, but it still remained through all that instability. Same thing's happened with several fucking european countries and a LOT of other countries around the world. In the end though, someone's usually willing to keep things going during those dissonant and trying times. I'm less talking about a single empire or dynasty here and more just society itself. It'd be extremely hard to pull off a complete collapse scenario without glassing the planet.
We have 330+ million people in our metropole and thanks to immigration from all over the world it won't stop for the foreseeable future.
And even then, a typical dynasty that succeeded at centralizing power lasted about 250 years anyways, sometimes hitting 500. Chinese culture managed to survive the Cultural Revolution because of how ethnically chauvinistic they are about the subject. That's the frustrating part of studying Chinese History; it's very repetitive for the most part until the British show up. I'm not convinced American values will transmit after the fall of the American Empire because no one believes in the sanctity of the Constitution and all the Enlightenment values that go with it. Today, the population only cares about their own finances, which is understandable, but it doesn't create civic duty.
This is what I think Boomers miss. The US's ability to project influence is weakening and Afghanistan is the first indicator of that, which why it's called the Graveyard of Empires. Europe is weakening from the Russia-Ukraine War, Russia and China are trying to develop their own system of finance that does not require the US dollar, and neutral countries have to weigh whether allegiance to the Rules based Liberal Order is really worth it. The US itself will probably turn into a rump North American state. The biggest fish when compared to any other American power like Brazil, Guatemala, or Mexico, but it won't be a superpower like in the 20th, which I will refer to as the US's Golden Age.
America dies when the American people are replaced with mexigoblins though. And those are out-breeding every other demographic.
Every single Kiwi will suddenly declare their love for Joe Biden and pledge their allegience, their lives, your lives, and your children's lives to the same government that they've declared illiegitimate for the past 3 years the moment they declare war on China.
It's more like when the next presidential administration starts enacting covid-style lockdowns for ideological reasons Kiwifarms will comply with whatever happens. Probably just minor questioning and being detained in their mom's house while Null is declared a white supremacist terrorist despite doing everything his fed handlers have ever asked of him.
People stubbornly refuse to understand this, no matter how many times you point to the evidence. "BUT MUH BASED TRADCATH HISPANICS!" they cry, as the fucking border fleas create mexican cartel branches on US soil. They are incapable of accepting that racial differences are real and it will be their undoing as America becomes nothing better than a particular large gathering of 'hispanic' scum.
