Title. It seems like the US is becoming desperate for power and generally decaying; citizens are becoming more class conscious, leftism seems to be rising, etc.
But at the same time I constantly see people defending the US to no end and tons of propaganda, especially on Reddit’s front page. It seems like people still indulge in russophobia (especially recently) and especially sinophobia and believe all state talking points. People are defending Biden not doing what he promised, defending being exploited and lied to. I could go on.
Overall, I see more people that are still defending the US and bootlicking daily (especially during this war) compared to people who gain class consciousness. What do you think?
u/greenslime300 - originally from r/GenZhouA lot of this is speculative. The downward trend of prosperity, international relations, and domestic support has been very obvious, but the question of what the “end” looks like is up for debate. Could happen via civil war in a few years, could be a slow falling away over the course of 30 years. Could be a great depression worse than the 1930s that they simply can’t bounce back from economically.
