Is America Dead, And We Just Don't Know It?

Looting (Valencia)
Carlos Saenz de Tejada

We have been invaded by what can only be described as Visigoths, sacking us like they sacked Rome in 410. Illegals are pouring across our undefended borders and taking whatever they can grab...welfare benefits, free cell phones, flights and bus rides to their preferred looting opportunities, food, clothing, education! Yes...even their kids are being sent to our schools.

But they take more than just the progressive handouts that are the lifeblood of the grand socialist experiment in 21st century America. Many are also criminals, in addition of course to their lawbreaking the second they stepped onto American soil. They rob and steal and kill each other and us. They bring a third-world esthetic to our shores that has no concept of our grand experiment in self-rule; that has no sense of history or responsibility or sense of pride in country and civilization and the common goal of our culture.

And even worse, if that is possible, a fair number of these invaders are single men of military age, very possibly dispatched by our enemies in preparation for violent action. Whether of the lone-wolf variety or a concerted effort to destroy infrastructure and technological capacity, or even along the lines of Israel's October 7th Pogrom remains to be seen.

And all of this is at our expense. We pay for those benefits, we suffer the additional crime, we suffer the degradation of our society. And all of this emanates from the first crime...illegally entering our country.

Yet America has done so very little to combat this existential issue. We have allowed the ratcheting down of our cultural expectations of immigrants. We have allowed the change in vernacular that used to differentiate between the welcomed legal immigrant and the gate-crashing, law-breaking illegal alien. And we have allowed our governments to open our borders and extend every bit of the welfare state -- and more -- to people who just a few generations ago would have been incarcerated and then deported. And they have created an entire subculture that is completely independent of traditional America, unlike the immigrant neighborhoods of the 19th and early 20th centuries that were steppingstones to integration into the larger American society.

And for what? Cheaper labor at the very bottom of the pay scale? Reliable Democrat voting bases in the inner cities? The destruction of traditional American culture even in the heartland? Massive shifts in spending away from taxpaying Americans?

That sounds like a country that has given up. That sounds like a country that has abandoned its traditions, its Judeo-Christian core, its unified cultural norms that have endured for centuries.

That sounds like a country that is dying...or already dead. And the armies crashing across our borders are simply looting the corpse.

***
PS. Yes, this is a dark and pessimistic view. I asked Buck Throckmorton to read this essay as a check on my dour and disheartened tone. His comment is more optimistic.

My sentiment is that this country is not yet dead, but our ruling class (who actively dislike the country they rule) has invited the invaders for the specific purpose of killing our country off as an outpost of western civilization.

I hope my supposition is incorrect, and America will come roaring back from the abyss. There are many wonderful things about this country that have provided the strength to overcome some significant challenges throughout our history. Can we draw strength from them and push back against the internal enemies that desire our destruction? That would mean that many more of us must take off the blinders and see the existential threat. That has happened recently, but it must become the default, rather than a local response to a particular issue.

Even if I am wrong, the country seems to be approaching a time when we will not have a choice to remain willfully unaware!

12 In a single word: Yes.

The country I grew up in is dead. The entity known as the United States is still in existence and will be I imagine for quite some time. But the difference between the electorate that voted for Reagan in 1980 and the current electorate is so vast as to make it a difference in kind, not degree.

An interesting question might be: When did it die? IMO sometime between Election Day 2020 and J6, the proximate cause being the covid op, but the root cause being a gradual infection of secularism starting in the early 1900s…

1. We let this happen. We saw it and ignored it, was told to accept it and/or was so beaten down over the years we just gave up.

2. It's not over... everywhere. Some places like the blue shit holes are in an inescapable dive. San Francisco is a prime example. It may never recover. Other places, perhaps tilted towards rural areas are nowhere near as bad.

In my opinion, what happens over the next year, or years will depend on whether people in comment 1 join with the people who populate the unaffected areas in comment 2.

32 This madness will end like all other utopian schemes have, in a vale of tears and rampant violence. Yes, the destruction is intentional and likely irreversible but those who have thrown the border open see a twisted version of the promised land we do not. These types are every bit as delusional as the Marxist-Leninists and National Socialists who preceded them. The only glue that even now holds together this sad, diminished empire is its relative economic prosperity. When that goes, and it is well on the way, the United States will collapse in a nanosecond. Is that also by design? Probably. We need to think now in terms of what comes afterwards.

They drink beer and bar b q, and it is normal. They do not see how even 10 years ago it was 80% of Americans doing this. They do not realize there are fewer and fewer places to live this American dream. They don't see how the cities have failed and even smaller ones are failing. In that time the homeless camps have become part of the landscape so they just turn away.

The American workers that lose their jobs to the colonizers don't just disappear. Yes some kill themselves either directly or through drugs, but most just go on government assistance.

So instead of paying more for a head of lettuce you get steep increases in your taxes and a group of Americans that have fewer opportunities.

46 I don't think America is dead. I think we have been asleep at the wheel for decades and allowed the left to infiltrate our institutions and they are now attempting the final phase of a complete takeover and a transformation of the US into a socialist/communist tyrannical country.

Many of us have been warning about this for years. We were called kookie conspiracy theorists. Now many are waking up to the reality that the conspiracy theorists were right.

The borders aren't open for cheap labor. They are open to help breakdown our society which is always what communists do to help implement their plans. You can't Build Back Better until it's broke. We can beat them but we need to unite and put aside petty differences. The enemy is that way. We are smarter and tougher and there are more of us. And many of us will never give in to them.

51 First, of course the current wave of illegal immigration is intentonally destructive and must be stopped. There is not a politically correct way to say this, but based on personal experience with Spanish speaking immigrants (and I don't know which were legal and which were not) overall, they are far easier to deal with and be around than the ghetto residents of just about every major city.
Point is that there are a whole lot of "natural born" Americans that are even more destructive of this country than the illegals are. To put it another way, we could stop all of the immigration, but none of our problems will go away.

Exactly.
There were also quotas and at times immigration/entry was cut off due to these quotas. If you read ships' logs from those years, they show that the newly arrived had to have an address they were heading to plus someone to 'claim' them...AND we were building an industrialized nation.

I spent all of 2020 thinking there's no way they allow this senile, feeble old fart stand for the Presidency. They'll do something to replace him before election day.

They had another plan, and it worked.

I'm not inclined to guess at what the plan is this year, but needless to say, it seems like madness to leave that demented old nursing home patient as the chief executive, even if in name only.

Whether of the lone-wolf variety or a concerted effort to destroy infrastructure and technological capacity, or even along the lines of Israel's October 7th Pogrom remains to be seen..."

Not to say there isn't a problem with the small minority of colonizers that have come here to work but the welfare state makes ANY immigration a crime against the citizens.

The dole in the US pays better then working in the third world so why wouldn't the colonizers come and steal from the citizens?

Get rid of the welfare state and actually throw gang bangers in jail for a long time and some (though by no means all) of this problem goes away

Also we need to get 'sticky' with employers and landlords that employ or give housing to illegal aliens. NGOs? tar and feather and a sharp rail.

We are also twenty five years into a massive information revolution which is very, very disruptive. I think we're seeing all the rot and corruption that was covered up or ignored by the information gatekeepers. All the disinfo is a last ditch op.

I think interesting things are bubbling up around the world, where other people are being exposed to the good ideas like never before. We have an Argentine President citing Milton Friedman.

There is a possibility we've seen peak Lefty. I get the feeling the kids are just over it and are jumping through hoops to get by. They believe none of it. I think this stuff is miles wide and millimeters deep. Once it starts to crack, it's going to fall away fast. Of course, then we'll get gaslighted and told it was never really that bad.

154 You all don't get my point. This type of Democrat doesn't care about logic, cogent arguments, reality. They believe what they believe. Trying to have a discussion is futile. You will never convince them that they are wrong. My sister insisted that no hospital was performing trans surgeries on teenage girls even after they admitted to doing it. Instead I got a lecture about how dare I voice a conservative opinion in a household of liberal democrats and I better not bring this up in front of any other family member. how dare I think that cutting off teenage girl breasts was wrong. When I brought up how this seemed like social pressure similar to the anorexia social contagion, I was told that now teens felt it was okay to voice their true feelings.
This is why I just don;t talk about anything other than innocuous topics. It is just a waste of time to expect them t o change.

I happen to think it's part of the op, to have in 2024, the people who perpetrated this fraud, admitting it was a fraud.

People who were paying attention knew it was a fraud in early 2020, but we had to talk amongst ourselves. We weren't allowed to say these things out loud. So if they say them out loud now, they're basically saying to us "your voice didn't matter then, it doesn't matter now. We're still in control."

And they are.

Which is why losing Twitter and hopefully even more control with the SC rules on the Missouri case in the Spring is so important. They have far less control now than they did even 2 years ago. And while some leftists will never admit they were wrong their numbers aren't all that big.

Independents still makeup the largest voting block in the country and they can be persuaded. And not many of them liked the tyrannical and unscientific rules forced on us either.

The PEOPLE allowed the RULING CLASS to get too much power. This took decades, but once they had power their only interest was self enrichment.

The open border allows them to funnel tax dollars to benefit themselves, with no check. They do not care that it destroys the country because they are stupid, craven, and greedy. This was all inevitable once they had the power.

They are doing it because the people in their bubble are getting wealthy off the invasions. Some (I think FJB is in this group) think that the US is indestructible and will survive. Some (Kerry) think he is a world citizen so he does not care. Some (O'shitwad) want to destroy the USA.

If you ever watch nature shows, when the apex predators take down their prey, there's always a hierarchy of who gets to eat first. Sometimes there's a fight between the apex predators (like when a smaller group of lions is overwhelmed by a much larger group of hyaenas), but that's just a math equation.

Otherwise, once the apex predators are done feeding, in come the bottom feeders, the smaller predators, the vultures, and I assume eventually, the insects and the bacteria.

Nothing is left. It all gets consumed. America has been brought down, large chunks of meat and bone are being devoured, and on the periphery, the blood is being lapped up, the scraps are being ripped off, but if you squint, it kinda still looks like a whole animal.

225 218 The six feet bullshit didn’t just sort of appear

They argued over far apart people really needed to be to reduce transmission with any degree of significance and TWELVE FEET was the consensus (or close to it)

They realized that was comically unrealistic but rather than abandon the rule for being unworkable they reduced it to six feet just because

226 Schlichter's book "Attack" depicts an event like Israel's 10/6, happening here in late September this year.

It's on an almost unimaginable level, with 175K killed in a two day murder spree that begins at noon on day one, with mass killings at public places, and absolutely country-wide. The killers are muslim jihadis willing to die, and die they do.

Day two is a second wave, and it also begins at noon. A shelter in place order has gone out nationwide, and the new round of killers goes into neighborhoods house to house committing mass murder again. Everything the killers do, they record on go-pros, and upload to the web.

Of course they run into households with guns, but they have full auto AKs and are able to murder many.

Day three is the last part, with jihadis trained and armed with truck bombs, RPGs, and more, to go after infrastructure, and serious damage to grids and refineries occur.

Schlichter imagines a good aftermath, though. Biden and Harris respond not at all but hide in bunkers, and are forced to resign, and a deal gets made with the R Speaker to serve only until next Jan 20, after which the newly elected pres takes over.

Whether we have actually already lost or not, part of the disinfo used against us is to make us think it's over so we stop pushing back.

While the Lefties were busy winning they lost Roe v Wade. The most popular talk show host is Joe Rogan. The most popular late night show is Gutfeld. Dave Chappelle is still telling trans jokes and Elon owns Twitter. I'm not conceding a damn thing. "They" can't beat us. But they might be able to get us to beat ourselves.

The United States however is..... Let's call the situation "complicated". Most of the country is made up of good people who just want to live their lives and make a better life for the next generation. They aren't shouting or burning and looting and they aren't shooting people. But a very loud minority is shrieking relentlessly that the country is evil, conservatives are evil, anyone who disagrees with them is evil, and the planet is dying. Their voices are being amplified and all the other voices are being silenced.
What cannot continue, will not continue. A reckoning is coming. And only God Almighty knows how it will end.

There was one Icelandic town some years back that used bulldozers and backhoes to create a channel AROUND the village and used concrete road dividers as additional support. I believe they re-routed the lava to the ocean that way.

240 I suppose I disagree with what seems to be the prevailing attitude here.

I love my family and my family loves me.

They kiddos vote, if they bother to vote, Democrat. As do a lot of the 'young folk". However, they know my positions and I know their positions, but even then political discussions get acrimonious, and-

we can only come together face to face at holidays, so a good time is more important to me. No political discussions. Everyone behave themselves for the few days we're together. And that's that.

If they really[]/i] want to have a political discussion, I've told them that Milton Friedman's book, "Free to Choose" and the PBS series were the most important sources of my political thinking. ( He, literally, turned my thinking around 180*.)

So, they need to read "Free to Choose" and then be able to answer the question:

"Where do we find these angels?"

and then we'll discuss anything they want.

So far, no one's taken me up on my offer. But, the offer's out there.

You're not wrong, but I think human societies are more complex. Our trick has been to keep any one group from getting to much power and we failed at that. Now one class has power and they are pillaging.

The question is, can we recover. I don't think so without going through massive hardship. By massive, I mean war and lots of dead within our borders. I don't see any other way to get people to understand why we need to keep the gov. from having too much power. Right now the young think a lot of things that are nonsense and they have to suffer to unlearn that crap.

242 "And for what? Cheaper labor at the very bottom of the pay scale? Reliable Democrat voting bases in the inner cities? The destruction of traditional American culture even in the heartland? Massive shifts in spending away from taxpaying Americans?"

Seat apportionment is the big one. They don't even need to vote, considering that the actual vote total doesn't really matter in most places anymore. #2 is importing a population of replacement peasants that are easier to please and easier to lord over.

The republic is toast. I have been saying this for years. What comes after is unknown, but I suspect the progs are likely to overstep, and overestimate their own competence on account of institutional destruction being a double-edged sword. Things are going to get really unpleasant, and a lot of communities hanging on in blue areas will cease to exist entirely in the next 10-20 years even in the most peaceful, slow decline.

We're *finally* wrapping up a multi-year plan to GTFO from where we are, with the new location (and Plan B to leave the country entirely) chosen based on a potential Spanish Civil War or 1917 type shitshow.

246 It doesn't matter much what "we" (the commenters and bloggers on this site) think about the end of America.

It's more about what the public at large thinks. A large percentage of which we criticize at length for being out of touch, ignorant and just plain stupid. "They" have the potential to make a huge difference.... or not.

And while many of "us" engage with them the fact is that many of the unwitting public needs to feel the proverbial boot on their neck before they'll give a shit one way or the other.

264 They should not be described as Visigoths.
The Visigoths wanted to become Romans. They were willing to fight for Rome and did so.
They only sacked Rome when they were persecuted for their non-conforming religious beliefs, sold rotten food at disaster prices, were forced to surrender their children to sexual degenerates, and otherwise abused and betrayed.

Conservatives are closer to Visigoths these days. The Democratic-Socialist establishment certainly talks about us as if we were Germanic migrants. Which, you know, as Anglosphere types most of us are, culturally if not genetically.

The illegals are like the Mongols or Islamist Arabs in their behavior. Of course, the Mongols eventually assimilated most everywhere, so perhaps they should not be lumped in with the Islamist Arabs.

268 The Republic is dead. The country...who knows? Historians many years from now can do a more accurate autopsy, but I'd point to two amendments that were turning points, perhaps the moment of death. At least they were two poison pills that eventually led to the death.

The 16th and 17th amendments. Beginning with the 16th amendment, the language of the amendments shifted from "Congress shall make no law..." to "Congress shall have the power..." 180 degree turn from the mindset of the Founding Fathers.

The 17th amendment ended the States' representation in the federal government as direct election of Senators guaranteed we'd have the level of pork and corruption we're seeing today.

On top of those two events, the general population no longer holds to the founding philosophy of the nation. Freedom of speech, assembly, religion, and the press are no longer revered. "Shut up...because" is now the logic and argument of the left.

I work international oilfield construction, and our projects are multi-year things in 3rd world countries. We live with, we eat with, we work with, we hang out with the locals to a degree and to a level that the academics can never see on their guided sabbaticals. We see and we know the shopkeepers, and the sales clerks, and the local services techs, and all manner of "deplorables" -- not only of the local variety, but from multiple nations, since our projects truly are international in scope and character.

Nowhere among any of these other nationalities have I seen anything like the American sense of self-reliance and self-independent thought/activity. The ruling class never see this. They are not educated enough to know what it is they are destroying.
