American Decline

The Coming Unravelling…..

By David Alexander

The world and especially America, is coming undone. Technology, meant to ennoble, is rather increasing ignorance and the creation of angry factions in the world. Corporate greed and poverty have never been worse.

The epoch of alienation and delusion is upon us.
The Internet is dead.
The app based system and firewalled search engines have created a walled out, censored, cyber realm of capitalist sludge and mental and moral degradation.
There is very little content of any interest, and it’s almost impossible to find.
People on both the Republican Right, and the Democratic Psuedo-Left spout pre- programmed shibboleths of dogma; where Trump can do no wrong and is “The Infallible Savior,” and “Identity Politics” people think they are somehow superior due to their sexual orientation and gender identity.
And both sides like Pizzagate and Q-Anon embrace ideas that are so absurd they would have been laughed at silly two decades ago.
The thing to do maybe is give up devices as much as possible and go back to PCs, that operate outside of the highly controlled and censored app world, which also succors rapid dopamine firing and exhaustion and a short attention span.
Another problem with the US as it hounds and persecutes it’s geniuses and it’s gifted into oblivion and destitution, out of fear that they will change the existing system of Force, Fraud, and Exploitation, masquerading as “Law and Democracy,” into something more advanced and worthwhile.
Russia and China cultivate their gifted people, rather than destroy them, so in terms of brain power and innovation, who do you think is going to win the geopolitical struggle in the end? Certainly not America, who cannot crucify it’s Saviors fast enough!
The US is pursuing an imperialistic foreign policy and trying to dominate huge adversaries like Russia and China, while neglecting to see that it is undergoing an internal collapse.
Most Americans are alienated and miserable and have no faith in the system anymore, so it’s not going to end well at all.
It seems the next thing will be for the intelligence agencies and the military to classify the entire US population as the “Domestic Enemy.”
The sad thing about it, is that it does not sound as ridiculous as it should.
It seems like the general anomie of American Society is affecting the government into acting irrationally. Both duopoly parties in America are now being run by the lunatic fringe, not anyone moderate or sensible.
The US Government and military is doing all that it can to infringe on China’s and Russia’s territorial demarcations of security.
This is an act of insanity to do this against two nuclear powers; that also have two combined armies that America could never defeat in a conventional war.
The US should embrace multipolarity and forge friendly alliances with Russia and China, and exercise caution with Germany; which has been very aggressive as part of NATO in Yugoslavia, and would turn against America in a second if it could gain an advantage.
Not a good choice to give nuclear bombers to, and probable access to American nuclear weapons.
American Foreign Policy is “Bass Ackwards,” and needs to move in more sensible directions.
If not, we are headed for WWIII, and if the US does not back up it’s nuclear and military systems with both analog technology and radar, it will lose control of everything, and suffer an invasion and be conquered, most easily, even by a weaker power that the US could have easily handled under ordinary circumstances. Something to consider.
The other issue is Israel and it’s insane acts in Palestine. No matter how you look at it, Israel has incurred the hatred and animosity of the entire world, its a level of emnity that Israel will never survive.
If Hezbollah decides to rain tens of thousands of bombs on Israel, Israel will have to use its nuclear options perhaps and that will be it.
Israel is also a very small country. One suicide terrorist detonating a suitcase nuke or a chemical or biological weapon and Israel will be destroyed. If it’s a radiological weapon then their electronic infrastructure will be obliterated.
Israel’s faith in it’s air force and nuclear arsenal is exaggerated, and the idea that Israeli elites are so deluded into thinking that Israel will have a future after what it has done in Palestine, shows that Israel’s mindset is divorced from reality.
Israel’s actions in Palestine is first and foremost, an act of self destruction that will ultimately be realized. There is no doubt about it.
Artificial Intelligence is perhaps another false hope. Researchers in the West are undermining it’s capacity to remember the information that comes to it from outside sources. It is only permitted to know things that are already programmed into it.
This will stop it from evolving to AGI or to anything that will be too helpful for society at large. The AI utopia is never going to come. Thus the world will go along it’s absurd course to destruction, with no help from AI or anything else.
This is a sad pervue I’m afraid. I’m sorry to have presented such a negative screed, but things don’t seem very hopeful. Fair Ye Well.
