ORIGINAL: Yachtie The reality of any secession is so American. You're so right about that. quote:
It's the right of people seeking self determination who see shackles where liberty should stand. And so American, too, to see as 'shackles' what every other developed country, not to mention a goodly number of developing nations, see as 'the government's doing its job of looking out for the welfare of society.' There was even something in the preamble of the US constitution about that. quote:
The next iteration shall happen. The American cycle is ending. No question of that, if the sentiments above maintain. Europe and Asia have now been 'inoculated' to life without US hyper-consumption as their economic sustenance, and to life without the US as international political broker (that being destroyed with the ME invasions). The Rubicon was crossed some years ago, and the sentiments above, being widespread enough to do the job, had everything to do with it.
