America today, Europe today, New Zealand today, or wherever today, is not a bad place to live. The life expectancy is 78 years. No doubt it will go up via medical breakthroughs by the time we actually reach that age.
The per capita GDP is $60,000. That's per person. So in a family of four that's $240,000 a year. And yet it's easily possible to have all modern conveniences with just $6,000 a year. Even the poorest Americans are making more than enough to own a computer, internet, phone, tv, car, air conditioning, heating, a bathroom, a bedroom, healthy tasty food, clean water, etc, etc, etc. There is absolutely nothing lacking in our material lives.
If people are unhealthy it's only because they've made themselves so. The air and water are actually cleaner than ever. North America has more trees now than when we landed at Plymouth Rock. Or at the very least, more than there were in 1900. But I honestly think it's the most ever due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere. Either way, the environment is currently thriving.
Crime is on a slight downtick from the previous couple years, which were a slight uptick from the years before then. But overall crime is way down from where it was in recent memory. It's extremely unlikely that anyone who has their life together will ever be a victim of a serious crime. It's right up there with getting struck by lightning.
Drug overdoses are consensual. Just don't take drugs and you won't overdose. That's hardly an 'epidemic.'
It's becoming extremely difficult for men to land nice, devoted, pretty girls into a fulfilling relationship and have kids. You pretty much need to be a rock star to expect anything from girls anymore. Lawyer, doctor, professor, whatever. That's indeed a shame. But it's not a big deal. For one, the planet is overpopulated to begin with. We're nearing 8 billion now. In 1970 it was half that, and no one felt like the world was empty. There was nothing wrong with the America or Europe that harbored half the population it has now.
Even if we don't reproduce nothing bad will come of it. Actually I predict our descendants would thank us for not overcrowding their living space with endless additional useless mouths to feed. Automation will soon render most humans obsolete anyway, so the idea that we need 16 billion people on Earth so everyone needs to be humping like rabbits is sheer folly. A closer ideal would be 100 million.
Marriage isn't nearly as great as it's been made out to be. Being free to live life the way you want is far more enjoyable. Spend the money on the things you enjoy. Spend your time doing the things you enjoy. Isn't it great being an autonomous individual who can put yourself first? How does shackling yourself down to someone else's needs help you any to begin with?
Plus, the substitutes for sex and romance are manifold. Between a 3d girl and a 2d harem of endless new romances to be found in manga, anime, visual novels, video games, etc, which is really superior? Is there anything a 3d girl can provide better than a 2d girl other than kids? And do we really need kids in a world of 8 billion people and rising?
You can say that a 3d girl has a more varied routine and is thus more intriguing to be around -- but she can't possibly match the output of the thousands of writers, animators and voice actors who create a varied assemblage of 2d girls every day. Once you finish a route with Yuuri just move on to the Shirone route -- there's infinite variation even without consulting a 3d girl.
Plus the 2d girls are more loving and better looking -- so really what's the point? I don't see the 'loss' or 'pain' that comes from avoiding girls. It seems to me that all the loss and pain comes from pursuing girls and being emotionally wrecked by them when they let you down. The more people who avoid 3d girls, the more people who take up visual novel waifus in their stead, the happier we'd all become.
I don't think virtual reality or androids are even necessary to satisfy men, the tools we already have work fine, but both can be expected to, in the near future, completely replace all functions 3d wives serve. Even artificial wombs don't seem like a stretch. After all, scientists have already created artificial hearts, so how hard can it be from here? Girls are a rapidly depreciating commodity.
Nor is the political scene currently disadvantageous. Republicans control the Presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court. The House is the weakest branch of government and basically has no say in anything. I predict Trump will easily cruise to reelection in 2020 and for that matter we'll hold the Senate too. The economy is roaring at 3% growth, the Mueller report just exonerated Trump of all crimes, and the Democrats running against him are utterly unattractive circus freaks. Gays, old geezers on their deathbeds, black women, fake Indians, I mean, come on. This is going to be a walk in the park. Mainstream America is going to watch these people during the debates and say, "why isn't there anything even resembling us on this stage to choose between?"
But let's presume the unthinkable and they do win the Senate and the Presidency. Since they won't have a filibuster proof majority none of it matters. They'll still have to win the approval of the Republican senators for any bill they pass. As for the Supreme Court all the Republican justices are still young and healthy so we'll maintain our majority there even with a loss.
So long as Republicans have any political say at all, they'll protect all the things I mentioned above. Crime will stay low, life expectancy will stay high, the economy will stay ridiculously rich, etc. There is no reason why you can't be happy in today's world and there's no threat to it ending in the near future.
Taking radical action right now is completely insane. The American people are perfectly content with the status quo -- and why shouldn't they be? Trump has made our lives better than ever before. This is the best America's ever been.
Admittedly, if the country is overrun with immigrants then things could quickly turn for the worse. But look at reality. California is already overrun with immigrants -- for that matter so is Texas -- but are we doing poorly? No, we're both thriving. Crime is still low, the economy is still booming, there's no real corruption. If the country becomes majority Hispanic just like California and Texas, we'll barely even notice. Things will continue just like they are right now in California and Texas -- just fine. Hispanics are not locust swarms. They'll leave the high value, high power, high influence jobs to their betters -- the whites, Jews and Asians, just like they do in California today. And with whites in charge things will run just as smoothly as before.
No, the only way things make a dramatic turn for the worse is if the country is overrun with Muslim or African immigrants. And neither of those things are going to happen in the near term. First off, there's no way a Republican senate would not filibuster letting in billions of Muslims or Africans. So the democrats would at least need 60 Senators before they could implement this plan. And second off, the American people would not stand for such low quality immigration to just flow in like an open sewage line. They would immediately overturn such a crazy democratic policy and put Republicans back in charge again if they attempted it. Even the hispanics, should they become the majority of Americans, would never condone such an awful policy. If anything, since they couldn't be accused of racism, they'd be even more likely to stop African immigration than we are.
Most Americans, right now, favor lowering the amount of immigration allowed into the country and prefer only high skilled immigrants who can pay their own way. The idea that we're going to get billions of Somalis flooding in any day now while living under a democracy is silly. The people wouldn't stand for it. We haven't even passed amnesty after all these decades for the illegal Mexicans living here. Even though they've assimilated perfectly into California and Texas, even they aren't being given a free pass. Just imagine if a bunch of Somalis and Pakistanis tried their luck.
The idea that action must be taken *now* *now* *now* to save the world is nonsense. I've been listening to this collapse chorus crap for decades now. There's no urgency. Nothing bad is going to happen. This frenetic sense of doom is no different from the AOC global warming ending the world in 12 years crap.
Gays do not sneak into your home at night and anally rape you as part of their pride parades. No one is forcing you to be gay. So what does it matter what LGBT's are doing? Just ignore them and live your own life. If you're worried about what impact a permissive culture will have on your kids -- just don't have any kids. Problem solved. The world already has more than enough kids.
Nothing happening today -- or within the next ten years -- is going to have any negative effect on your life. Anything bad that does happen to you will be the result of your own bad decisions -- making yourself vulnerable by trying to have a wife or kids you can't in the end control -- overdosing on drugs you yourself took -- not taking care of your body when there are cheap and effective ways to do so -- making even less than the minimum wage which is already more than enough to live in luxury -- etc.
Which means there is no reason for the American people to want anything to change. Anyone suffering today only has themselves to blame. All the successful people have no problem with the way the country is currently structured. Which means every position of wealth, power and influence has no interest in a violent revolution. And if you have no people of wealth, power or influence on your side, guess what, you're not going to win a violent revolution. Almost every revolution has come with massive support from the people and most importantly from the elites. Look at the American Revolution, the Texan Revolution or the Confederacy. These movements were led by the greatest, most prestigious, wealthiest and most popular people of their locales. It was a mass movement with well respected people who had succeeded in the previous system leading the way.
Until you see that, there's nothing to do. Only that type of revolution has any chance of success. Only that type of revolution will ever get anywhere.
And that type of revolution is never going to occur so long as America is healthy, wealthy and safe. It's madness to think it would. What would people be revolting over?
"Our crime is too low! We're too rich! We live too long! We're just so tired of winning!"
That's the slogan we're going to run with? It rings a little hollow compared to "Land, Bread, Peace." Or "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer." Or "liberty, equality, fraternity."
A revolution requires, at the very least, an economic depression, a humiliating recently lost war, or a tyrant who tramples over traditionally allowed freedoms suddenly being stolen away. Usually it requires all three.
We aren't experiencing anything that would make anyone want to rise up and fight. We won't experience anything like that at least for the next ten years. It's politically impossible that anything that bad could happen in the next ten years. In fact, I predict Trump will win in 2020 and America will be in the midst of a golden age.
So just shelve the machetes already and give it a rest. When America truly is teetering on the brink of collapse not just you, but everyone, the elites and the people together, will see it and will desire change organically. Just wait patiently and all your arguments about the negative impact of Muslim/African immigration will be accepted by the public as a whole, because it will be obvious to everyone. Then and only then can any useful action be taken about it -- and it won't come at the hands of lone wolf terrorists, but well respected political and media leaders rallying the entire people together to do something -- legally, with the police and the military -- about it.
