Could there ever be a chance our nation will rally behind a common goal and achieve amazing feats again or are we just too divided and weak? Are we doomed to stagnate in this post-modern hellscape?
 
Take a look around you. I bet you can see at least a couple things that would blow the mind of someone from 20 years ago. Shit's advancing like it always has, but bad news sells. And bad news makes people feel better about wasting their potential: "I could better myself but the world's fucked so what's the point".

Everything is just as shitty as it's always been. You're just hearing more about it now.

This is a clip from a movie from 1976:
Nothing ever changes.

I guess. I've been reading a lot of myths recently and have been enamored by the idea of a empire fully united by one man for one goal. That just feels impossible now a days.
 
If an outside threat that is capable of destroying the human race and views us all as equal in that destruction, forcing us all to come together despite our differences to prevent our total obliteration, then maybe but only temporarily.

So yeah, Independence Day, but I was thinking more like Enders Game(the book at least)
 
We weren't even completely united in the Revolutionary War. There were loads of people who wanted us to just shut up and do what the Crown told us to do. We had a U.S. Nazi party in WW2, we had overt Communist parties in the 60s and 70s, we splintered in half during the Civil War, and the list just goes on and on like this. The myth is that America was ever completely unified to begin with. This is just our natural state and we've succeeded in spite of this.

Welcome to the party, pal. Pick a hat and start punching.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

It's close enough, I suppose.
