The Suicide of America
Zuby, who is a very smart guy, made note of something that is actually built into the name of this website (Culturcidal – our culture is committing suicide).
It’s nice to see another very smart person acknowledging this, but it’s worth exploring why and how this is happening, although there are truly no definitive answers.
First of all, there have always been a lot of liberals who want to see our current system leveled to the ground. Some of them do truly hate this country, but a lot of them are just extremely naïve and believe that if they can get rid of our system and gain total control, they could build some beautiful socialist utopia on the other side of it.
Of course, not only has this never happened anywhere in all of history, but in many of the places the Left has total control, things are getting worse, not better. Places like California and New York have been gifted with enormous advantages over other cities and states and if anything, they’re going backward, not forward. If liberals can’t make places like New York and San Francisco into a paradise, they sure as hell aren’t going to be able to do it with the rest of the country.
Getting beyond that, at least to a degree, we are victims of our own success. We all know the stereotype of the spoiled rich kid, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who has a huge ego despite having a bad attitude and generally not being all that good at anything. Unfortunately, that describes a big chunk of America’s population now.
It’s true that these people don’t have Kardashian money, but they did grow up soft, in a not particularly challenging environment and now they’re entitled, self-centered people who don’t care about much of anything except impressing people on Instagram and going along with the crowd. They’re not thoughtful people. They’re not patriotic. They do very much want to conspicuously APPEAR TO CARE about other people, but they put no thought into the real impact of what they support. Most of them don’t even want to know if the policies they support work or not because their goal is to do what they believe is popular, not what’s right or what actually makes people’s lives better.
These are the sort of people who talk about the importance of not “ruining the lives” of criminals by being too hard on them while they live in gated communities or who fight like hell to stop voucher programs but send their kids to private schools.
There’s also a large contingent of relatively influential people who could best be described as short-sighted and selfish. They like to hire illegal aliens or want their votes, so they lobby politicians to make sure illegals can get in. They think gay and trans kids are more likely to vote Democrat, so they want schools to push that on kids. They oppose a merit-based immigration system because they want poor, ignorant socialists who are more likely to vote liberal to come into America. They’d like to get rid of the Constitution solely because it’s stopping them from doing things they want to do.
Of course, there’s also always a group of people who are just self-absorbed with their own issues and don’t care about any of this stuff one way or the other. If the country succeeds, fails, whatever, they don’t want to get involved.
Last but not least, there are multiple foreign countries including Russia and China among others spending enormous amounts of money to create chaos, dissension, immorality and hatred in America via social media. Sure, they want to press their own interests, but they also want to weaken us either by turning us into degenerates or setting us at each other’s throats. With enough resources, it’s not even all that hard to shape opinions on social media. Companies do it all the time and so do nations. Countries like China and Russia want us to hate each other. Social media helps them achieve that aim.
So, if those are the people that are putting America’s head in the noose, what’s the noose?
There are so many facets to it.
Not just the debt, which we will never pay off, but the rapidly increasing deficit.
Not just our refusal to secure our border, but our government’s efforts to bring in and keep as many illegal aliens here as possible, including bad people no nation in the world should want. Our non-merit-based immigration policies bring people from radically different cultures and religions here, many of whom end up on welfare as they lobby to change our country to something more like the region they fled from.
Are we maintaining law and order (not very well)? How much effort is being put into making our military a better fighting force (not much) and how much is being put into making it woke (a lot)? What are we doing to improve the morals of the country (almost nothing)? In fact, weird gender ideas and degenerates are deliberately being pushed on children. America has one of the fattest populations in the world and the government is doing almost nothing to find out why, clean up the food supply, and increase the availability of healthy food despite the massive increases in healthcare costs it’s driving. We’re increasingly reliant on non-friendly nations for rare metals and key parts of our supply chain.
The Democrats are proposing radical, destabilizing ideas like getting rid of the Senate filibuster for legislation and stacking the Supreme Court that would likely lead to the end of America as a Republic with very little pushback on the Left.
We can go on and on with this, but it’s clear that we’re a nation embroiled in a rapid decline economically, culturally, religiously, and morally and there are very few people in power trying to pull us out of the free fall.
Our neck is in the noose, we’re beginning to step off the chair, and… now what?
It’s hard to say exactly when, but my guess is that we’re going to hang. The chances of it happening are nearly 100% unless our country radically shifts course – and that doesn’t just mean, “Elect the Republicans this time and everything will be okay.”
The reality is that even if it isn’t going to happen tomorrow, our country is on track to die and every politician, activist, and citizen should be starting with that same assumption when they come up with policies, ideas, and proposals. If anyone is not treating it with that level of seriousness, they’re out of touch with reality and that needs to change.
Thanks for writing this difficult to read column. I hardly think you're wrong. Even people who say things like; "well things look bad now, but America has always risen to the occasion," are living in the past. The people have changed. Programming instead of educating, spending- oops, I mean investing- in everything except balancing the budget. Is there one person who can dispute Ben Franklin's prediction when he said that our democracy will last until people figure out they can vote to raid the treasury? Esp now, with idiots in states like CA making it "ILLEGAL to ask if a person is a citizen of the United States." Why would someone on welfare not vote to raid the treasury since they're not paying Federal income tax? John, I have to agree with you, I believe this nation will implode, either through economic catastrophy or civil war. Our military won't even be powerful enough for a strong man to threaten much, except Canada and Mexico, and what would be the use in that?
Seeing the writing on the wall is pretty clear; however, it's your closing paragraph that rings the bell.
"The reality is that even if it isn’t going to happen tomorrow, our country is on track to die and every politician, activist, and citizen should be starting with that same assumption when they come up with policies, ideas, and proposals. If anyone is not treating it with that level of seriousness, they’re out of touch with reality and that needs to change."
