Crumbling infrastructure, failing schools, a student population held to ransom with loan debt, staggering unemployment, out-of-control health care costs, a failed democracy, ruled by an oligarchical elite.
Wars in foreign countries with no end, bleeding lives and money out of the economy.

In the last 2'000 days there have been almost as many mass shootings. Are these the throes of an empire imploding?

What went wrong America?

On the other hand, if you listen to North Korea's news, you will hear the paradise ever existed under the great leader. Go figure.

greed, the wealthy making money by killing people...in recent days the American government murdered a number of people near an international airport in another country, because the president and a fat slob wanted to kill someone.
What is so complicated about that?

Yes America is imploding, today on our TV news story about jewish people in New York on mass arming themselves with automatic weapons. Government hasn't sorted $US75 trillion derivatives floating about nor the $US23 trillion debit it owes, whole country don't understand that violence leads to more violence.
Religion is always problematic just as it is in other countries and that has great deal to do with its internal woes America's church shootings: At least 91 killed since 1999


List of mass shootings in the United States


And like you mentioned war after war, idiots right around the glob supporting violence, most of it lead by America. But not all religion, hatred and greed driven by self interests been round since adam was a cowboy

"Go Talk Crap to someone else"......Larry, that's a rather knee-jerk emotional reaction.
What was 'crap' about the OP? I never made any mention of population numbers, but
rather all those things related to income disparity. Poverty of the working poor.
Let's talk about that?

America is standing strong? You have an opioid crisis, a homelessness crisis, the income disparity is the highest in the world, and you've lost every war you have fought since WW2. The United States has the largest external debt in the world, something like $24 trillion. The moment the US dollar ceases to be the world currency, which is a certainty, the country will plunge into chaos.

Yes, I have done a bit of homework.

This issue has been percolating for generations.

By the 1970's America had shifted from an empire of production, to an empire of consumption. Ie you began to borrow to maintain a lifestyle that you could no longer afford. Sheldon Wolin (Politics and Vision) probably America's greatest economic philosopher of the 20th century, refers to the current system as, not a democracy, but as 'inverted totalitarianism.
By that he means the corporations have taken over control of the country, in fact, the world. In this dystopia, everything, including people, is considered a commodity, including the environment.

Desperately copying/pasting Larry? You haven't addressed a single issue in my original post. Ok, I know you googled 'nihilism' good for you. But you misunderstood the context in which it was used.
But hey, if you want to bury your head in the sand, and think everything USA is fine n' dandy, go ahead. laugh

Depends on where you get your news.....

Congress needs to step up and deal with some brewing issues - how the NRA controls gun legislation, that corporations are considered individuals, and universal healthcare.....

Also, what should be on the agenda, addressing technology and social media, protections and security...

America is not a failed democracy, it is a very much working democracy. To generalize is to perish.

I agree with you. We are what we read. Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and Robert Reich seem to believe that corporations thru their Super Pacs own and dictate to the US goverment. That may or not be true, but as leading luminaries on America, you may be more swayed by their arguments than mine. laugh
