When you look down at others instead of helping lift other up nobodt cares when you implode. I'm VERY sad for the regular non crazy american, you guys are the real victims.

Oooh what ballet/music will be played nationally when the us collapses?
It was swan lake for the USSR right?
I'm kinda hoping it's green day's American Idiot but that may be a bit on the nose
It'll more likely be a Kid Rock or Ted Nugent concert. Or simply five hours of topless Putin riding on a horse.
Recession, have you all not been paying attention?
What's that from?
Love death and robots
Can't fuckin wait for the next season next month. Apparently one of them will be a prequel to how humanity killed itself and
Tap for spoiler
how cats rule the earth.
First I'm hearing about a new season, thanks for sharing!
Those who do not learn to love one another will die.
What happened to the super rich people from USSR when it collapsed?
There weren't really many super rich people in the USSR. There were people with a lot of influence and power, who had nicer houses, better food, clothes, etc. but very few had a tons of money stashed away. You have to remember that Stalin and many of his followers viewed capitalism as the root of all evil and would imprison or kill rich people.
And many of those influential people used that power after the fall to become super rich by snapping up former state assets. Which is seemingly part of their current goal in the US: Isolate the country and destroy government assets to privatize them. Literally trying to recreate the situation that created the 90s Russian oligarchs.
They literally bought the country from everybody else for scraps.
Probably took extended vacations to Montenegro or similar.
Permanent vacations 6ft under.
The over-reliance on "entrepreneurism" is what got us here, and the harping on it in this article irks me; other than that, it's a good read.
What comes next is Trump will go nuts and start walking around naked and MAGAts will celebrate by doing the same.
A 21st century retelling of "The emperors new clothes", where the emperor is also an influencer and sends people who warns about his nakedness to a dungeon in another kingdom.
