What's the best way to destroy America?

There's so much talk these days about politicians destroying America, mostly blaming President Obama and the democrats, but a lot of the blame is placed, justifiably, on the Bush adminstration as well. I think maybe the way we should go about figuring out who to blame is to figure out what would be the most effective methods of "destroying" our country, and then follow the trail to who is following those agendas.

If I were going to create a plan to destroy America, here's what I would do:

1. Make Americans complacent through fluffy feel-good media programming and ample, cheesy and unecessary cheap consumer items, such as junk food, toys, video games, movies and music.

2. Make Americans stupid by by following step 1, dumbing down the educational system, rewarding mediocrity, and allowing the "undesirable elements" of society to increase greatly in population, which leads to:

3. Create lots of uneducated sheeple by encouraging the young to have sex with pop culture while blocking sex education, birth control, and abortion as much as possible, and paying for their childbirth and child rearing with pregnancy medicaid and other government benefits.

4. Destroy quality, informative news and other media and replace them with irrational, emotional garbage like extremist talk radio, sports, and reality programming, so the people won't know how to analyze things rationally.

5. Once everyone's dumb and powerless, attack their freedoms and livelyhoods through recession, war, rise in cost of living, business scams, and taking away their government benefits.

Now, if we add up the tally of who's behind all the points of the masterplan, we can see who to blame/;

1. Business and the media (which is a business)

2. Democrats and Republicans

3. Democrats and Republicans

4. Business and Republicans

5. Business and Republicans

Well, it looks like Business and the GOP bear the lion's share of the blame, exactly as I thought.

 

How to destroy America?

Easy: Fill it full of idealistic, bleeding heart Liberals.

 

Hardly. Fill it with apathetic nonvoters - wait, we already have that problem. Probably why this country's going down the drain.

 

LOL. Here we go again. Don't you all know, for the last 40 elections cycles we just happened to pick democrats when the republican was the good guy, and republicans when the democrat was the good guy. Boy, we are an unlucky voting bunch of people. If only those who don't vote would have voted, we might have got the good one.

Tripe, smothered in malarkey, with bull (*)(*)(*)(*) for a garnish.

 

It would still be somewhat more acceptable if "we" meant 98% of the population and not sometimes as low as 30%.

 

I've voted in every election since 18. I see know difference in the lack of transparency, the lack of consistency, the lack of logic, the pro global and pro corporate stance of either party. I can only imagine where a paleo conservative baby boomer or great generation citizen would be at with voting. The majority of those who don't vote are extreme left, the minority, or paleo conservatives. Neither side is represented. The only people left would be those who really don't care about politics, and you don't want those types voting anyway. Everyone has something their brain just won't grasp. Mine is science. I'll admit it. Trying to learn biology might as well have been Mandarin.

 

Setting off Yellowstone would do the trick nicely.

 

The faults you cited are endemic to politics, period, and have always been so. They are necessary evils for large-scale government; it is the exceptional state indeed that has even a modicum of transparency. As for consistency, if you want consistent government then democratic republicanism is not the system for you.

 

That's the point. America was never intended to have "large scale government". Nor the "necessary evils" that come with it. Would you vote if your options were Hitler or Mao? An extreme example, but I'm sure you still get the point.

 

Even a state government is proportionately large scale - the other end of the spectrum being tribal society.

Yes, I would. Because it is my civic duty to vote, to pay my taxes, to attend jury duty, etc.

 

That's absurd. When you vote for the "lesser of two evils", you are making the statement that a rigged election cycle is genuine. The best thing that could happen in America is if zero people showed up to vote.

 

Again, even if it is "rigged" or both candidates are undesirable it remains your civic duty to vote. That duty is the foundation of a democratic republic, what differentiates it from dictatorships and monarchies. So if you care about the integrity of a civilized western republic, you better (*)(*)(*)(*) well vote and be gracious about it.

 

My God. I hope you are in on the great American robbery and not a working class person that delusional. Our country is having the nails hammered into its coffin because people have believed as you believe for a century. The best thing for our nation would be for no one to vote unless neither party was allowed on the ballet. No one pay income tax, let them try and function with all their workers and consumers in jail. No one buy a product unless it say "made in America" on the tag. It is the only way for nonviolent change. 300 mil moving as one. We are done with the games.

 

And watch the country collapse into anarchy, which will result in violence either way.

A much simpler way is simply to not vote for incumbents, or vote for write in candidates. This is why I always vote for third party candidates for the House.

 

You want to know what REALLY destroys a society? Coin clipping. Every major civilization all throughout history has been destroyed because they debased their currency. The US is right on track!

Read this thread, it might interest you. You're on the right track about government and media.

Really? Because it worked for India and Gandhi. Your "play the game or else" doesn't scare me. Doing what I'm told does. I've seen an America controlled by globalists, and I don't need to see what tomorrow will bring still under their control. The time to make a move is now.

 

What is wrong with globalisation exactly?

 

Here we go again. Nothing is wrong with it, if you're in the top 10%. The destruction of the American middle class, the US dollar falling through the floor, politicians trying to convince Americans they need to get use to being 2nd world, corporations trying to convince us if we worked for 3 dollars an hour the jobs would come home, all walking hand-in-hand with it is surely just a coincidence. God, this is getting old. You and your kind have nerve, I'll give you that.

 

The problem we face is not globalisation. It's the failure of society and business to adapt to globalisation.

 

The very political system and constitution that the country was founded on is also its weakness.

 

As opposed to an "unwritten constitution" that any aspiring tyrant with enough backing could take advantage of? The U.S. has many faults - its Constitution is not one of them.

 

Destroy America? Just keep on doing what you are doing. The process is almost complete. American Fascism is just around the corner.

 

I would say society has no choice, and business is making record gains. As much as I enjoy having the exact same debate as I have had dozens of times before, I have to be to work at 6am, so I can make the same wage as 10 years ago, while everything costs 3 times a much. Need to make sure I can buy my 10 millionth cup of noodles to make it to the next rigged election. You know, so I can ensure this great thing called "globalization" continues. Later.

 

Society does have no choice - technology makes globalisation inevitable.

Globalisation is a great thing; anyone can watch entertainment, enjoy food, and learn about cultures from all corners of the globe. Even the middle class can afford vacations abroad as well.

Add to that the political factor; countries which are economically interdependent are less likely to engage in conflict. This is why China is a non-issue for the time being.

 

1) Contradict yourself much?

2)You mean the middle class that is left, going to the few tourist spots that haven't closed their doors because there is no business? And P.S., globalization doesn't have the patent on nations and their people getting along with each other. You act as if no one knew the other guy existed before corporations started pimping both.

3) I noticed you said, "for the time being". I hope the profits a few Americans made off of betraying their own are worth knowing they paid for the jets and tanks that will kill Americans in the decades to come.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again: I hope you are a disingenuous globalist getting fat off your nation's demise, verses a naive citizen arguing for the nails in your nation's coffin.
