2019

I won't lie. It would be fun to watch American Civil War 2.0.

None you fucking tard. As shitty of a country as it is, America is one of the biggest superpowers in the world and will never fall no matter how hard it gets hit

When will it finally erupt?

Libtards vs Trumptards.
I will pay for a front seat.

2020.

soon I hope

You haven't even existed for 250 years and you're already showing signs of collapsing

I live on the East Coast, not my problem.

It won't be a collapse, just a slow descent

Never, europoor nations and their socialist dystopias are much more likely to collapse

They said the same thing in 2000 and 1990 and 1980 and 1970 and so on. Every fucking year someone says we’re closer to tipping over the edge but here we are

Soon, they'll reach the weight limit in a few years

Another decade of mass shootings will suffice

about 200 years after the rest of the world does

We didn't collapse in the Civil War or the Great Depression or the late 1960s, so...

Will the mexicans accept the american refugees running from the affected areas?

Do you know how little time 50 years is in historical perspective? Of course you don't. Rome wasn't builded nor fell in one day

Yeah but what about when all three happen again at the same time?

>For 30 years, it has been fashionable to predict the imminent or ongoing decline of the USA. This is as wrong now as it was in the past. The planets most successful country is about to become self sufficient in energy, it remains the pre-eminent economic power and it spends more on research and and development for its military then the overall budget of all the other NATO countries combined. its population isnt ageing as in Japan, China or Europe.And a 2013 Gallup study showed that 25% of all people hoping to emigrate put the US as their first choice. In the same year, Shanghai University listed the top twenty universities of the world, seventeen were in the USA.

>The Prussian Statesman Otto Van Bismarck, in a double edged remark, said more than a century ago that "God takes special care of drunks, children and the United States of America".

The United States will never lose its superpower status so long as we can afford to pay the best wages for scientists and engineers.

>god
stopped reading right there. Can’t believe people in the modern era still support the idea of a god. It made sense in the ancient times when people needed explanations for how the world worked, but now that everything is explained by science, believing in god is just silly

I think we're the most divided we've ever been in a lot of ways. So many different views on what she would become and how to look at our past. It's bad politically but thankfully the economy isn't doing too bad so most people don't give a shit as long as they're living comfortably.

>I think we're the most divided we've ever been in a lot of ways. So many different views on what she would become and how to look at our past.

Compared to 1861 when half the country literally went to war with the other half? Not even close.

(You)

We're not as divided as we've been before but we're starting to get up there

Oh grow up already. The idea of a fictional character being the explanation of things makes sense. It’s like when you’re a kid and you think Santa really brings presents or the tooth fairy really takes your teeth. It’s just a simple coping mechanic to help grasp the situation that you can’t understand. However once a proper explantation has been provided, continuing to believe in the fictional character is just sad and pointless. You don’t still believe In Santa or the Tooth Fairy, do you?

Replace God with The Universe in that quote and shut your autistic ass up.

When this happens. They survived a civil war and emerged as the most powerful country in the world since ancient/medieval China.

Any day now.

That’s equally as stupid because it implies that the universe is a sentient force whom chooses who to protect

Never :3

I actually really like Malaysia, I hope they never collapse

How long until South Korea gets swallowed whole by North Korea?

>The idea of a fictional character being the explanation of things makes sense
Just like how the magic of observation via the scientific method explains literally everything ever and is never wrong or contradictory

Science is as much a faith as any religion bud

soon I hope

>thankfully the economy isn't doing too bad

China

america will never collapse in this 100 years atleast

when the memes get too real

>Science is as much a faith as any religion bud
science has alot of proof tho and is actually useful in the material aspect

A
FUCKING
CHOCOLATE BAR

>the current United States government/constituition has been in place for over 200 years and we still remain a superpower and have major influence over the world
>meanwhile the goverment of an average european country is lucky to be 100+ years old
its fucking pathetic really. if you guys weren't constantly infighting maybe you'd actually calm down and organize a real instituition that is a threat to America's dominence, but no. its always pride over practicality. oh well, at least you have your high brow culture while America's low brow culture continues to dominate and make obscene amounts of money. were OK with being rich and powerful while pencil neck cucks in the UN rank us #7 or whatever in Adjusted Quality Of Living To Make Small Countries Look Better Against The USA

you’re right. Science has proven wrong multiple times in the past. Regardless, it has proven right multiple times and when it does, it is always supported with proof.
The theory of God has never proven right and is never supported by proof

>meanwhile the goverment of an average european country is lucky to be 100+ years old
why do americans insist on showing off their ignorance everywhere they go?

>people in the modern era

>Otto Van Bismarck, born 1815

Cant tell you definitely didnt go to one of those top 17 universities in the world.

how is he wrong , the french modern government is 59 years old while and the estado novo of portugal is 44 years old

modern era starts in the 16th century

>the most powerful country in the world since ancient/medieval China

>he actually believes that ancient China was more powerful than Rome or any of the top 5 European powers during the 19th cent.

top meme

>comparing ancient China to 19th century empires
Are you retarded or something?

Your an idiot. If we didn't collapse in the upheaval of the 60s and early 70s we won't for a long time.

um sweaty we've been a republic for 106 years ok

>Your
*You're
FML

*inhales*

You're talking about relative power. You were claiming that relative to the technology at the time, ancient/medieval China was more powerful than the British Empire or the Roman Empire. This is obviously retarded.

*exhales*

we'll just switch from lbs to kg so that the numbers will be smaller.

not the same republic , not the same constitution. You had in that peridod the democratic Ditadura Nacional. the dictatorishp estado novo , short military rule and then a new democratic republic while america in this whole period and even 150 years before was consistent (even in civil war the united states did not fall or change its constitution or regime)

America would be democrat forever

The Roman Empire didn't fall in a year, so we're in for a long wild ride of decadence

uhh no that’s not how it works sweetie

Proof being repeated observation and simply changing the answer in the event something different happens, and if something needs to be changed in the truth of the matter it is debated incessantly by the scientific community who they themselves will choose whether to believe the new truth or not

And it is useful, just as religion is useful for the keeping of community and general happiness of the individual

The issue isn't that it's supported with proofs for it's truth
The issue is that it is Empiricist and relies on the senses and repeated observation to form a "objective truth" despite this objective truth in itself not being guaranteed to be true, and thus you must invest faith in the truths of science

It's the metaphysics of truth that keeps science from being "more true" than the belief one may have in the existence of a God

>The theory of God has never proven right and is never supported by proof
Your lack of faith in the matter is what makes it so, and there is no proof because Gods, in their nature, exist outside of human perception and cannot be subjected to empiricist methods of experience UNLESS you believe in them and then experience faith in God, which is itself all the proof you'd need

You can't objectively prove God in the same way you can't objectively prove any scientific observation, or observation, or experience, or anything is real.

They we're just as if not more technologically advanced than the rest of the world for a long time and always had the highest population. I remember reading somewhere that their GDP was approximately half of the world's total.

He's actually right.

As long as we stick to murica's ass just like our former president said it will never happen :3

It's because of idiots like you that we don't teach important shit like the Peace of Westphalia

>you can’t objectively prove that anything is real
American education, everybody

Hope it'll be soon enough for me to see it while I'm still alive

>constitution or regime


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution

Objectively prove yourself right.

so this is the power of portugese education

he right tho, you can never tell if reality is real, you just have to roll with it because you don't have a choice

>gese
got me good fatty

Next recession will be the worst but at least we'll pull the world down with us

>you can't objectively prove any scientific observation, or observation, or experience, or anything is real.
not really I can measure the acceleration of free fall and find it to be 9.81 m/s2 , the experience is the proof. Stop it with this meme that we can't prove science.

>Porto-potty-geese

and those are ratifications? All countries do that , I'm talking about changing the whole constitution and regime

THIS

>modern era starts in the 16th century
*Early* modern era starts at the 16th century,
which also includes the renaissance, the reformation, colonialism and multiple revolutions all of which were largely propelled by religion.

Should people in the modern era not believe in a god now or nah and we should all just go back to the stone age

>Porto
strike 2 shartypants

are you high

i think it's rubbing off on me just from reading the way you write

That's empiricist proof, not objective proof
I'm not saying you can't "prove" science, I'm saying because the proof is based on experience and people are capable of experiencing reality differently that it isn't a universal truth, which is what I think you're implying

>Portus Calle Calle

I'm very tired

>calle
not a portuguese word
strike 3 animeshitter

Portuguese pomegranates and bananas!

Collapsing would be a blessing for America. In reality it's like Iran, living conditions are going to become worse and worse and any attempt at change brutally supressed by the conservatives.

Safety. Resonable healthcare. Democracy. These are things that are forever lost to America.

This is so fucking dumb. Reality may not be real because it can not be proven but all things in the world function and apply to a world in which our reality is considered real.
It’s like a video game. Is it real? No. But everything within it acts as if it were and only acts under those circumstances. If you took the characters and props from Mario and placed them into our world, exposing their world as a game, would they act the same in our world as they do in their game? The answer is no.
The same applies to our world. Our facts and our objectivity applies to our understanding of reality and only to our understanding of reality. If our reality were proven false, everything we’ve defined to work under our reality would be rendered null.
Considering that, any thing we consider proof, fact, or objective applies to our reality, false or not. You can objectively prove that your foot has 5 toes because you’re applying that objectivity to this reality. Maybe you’re really an amputee and this is just a fever dream? Who knows? Who cares? It doesn’t fucking matter because HERE you have 5 toes and you can prove that

safety is increasing tho

How about the East India Company alone controlling over half the world's trade by itself? And the Roman Empire controlled something between 20 and 30% of the world's population. I think you're swallowing the chinapill a little too hard

Retards like this are why everyone says our country is so dumb

Collapse of what? the union, Anglo ruling class, fed independence...

The East India Company isn't as old as China as a civilization.

people say our country is dumb because of the bible belt

looks like someone watches rick and morty

The Persian empire had like half the world's population. The Mongolians would too if they didn't slaughter fucking everyone.

China was far more powerful than any European nation, just look at Taiping and the Qing invasions in general. Europe would be crushed like an ant if not for two reasons -
Their navy was absolute shit-tier, like "getting their shit slapped by pirates in sailboats" tier, and by the opium wars the west's military tactics had advanced to the point where they couldn't compete despite their overwhelming numbers.

The second reason is the big one - Taxes. European nations were built for constant war and had four tmes the Qing tax rate. When shit got real, Qing couldn't just suddenly start mobilize an army because they had no money.

We're not talking about age though. The EIC alone had more relative power over the world than ancient or medieval China ever did, to say nothing of the British Empire as a whole.
