Oh the irony.
I have seen now quite a number of these upstart "news", or rather "views", videos mostly by small independent companaies, and they are all of low production quality and questionable purpose. The first of these though, giving Chris Hedges' opinions on his own country, is a bit better but...
Who made it and and why?
The text undermines its own credibility by occasional bad language; but similarly, who wrote it, and why?
A tiny detail on the interview video's front page reveals all: funded by the government of the People's Republic of China. I suspect similarly with the text.
The irony is that it describes the United States of America as "imperialist" - well, yes I would agree and that brief clip of President Trump announcing he wants Cuba insuch an aggressive way, sums it up. As Mr. Hedges says, Trumpp lays bare US imperialism.
However, this material is funded by Chian that is itself at least as imperilaist, if not more.
True, less by land and sea seizures than by political and economic control, but imperialists nonetheless. For example, Hedges says the USA tried to take control of Chile for its copper reserves. China now holds most of the world's reserves of the ore; and copper is perhaps second to iron in being the world's most valuable (not expensive, Cu is much costlier than Fe, but valuable) elemental metal. ]
The text is also deeply ironical.
On one hand it implicitly promotes the hard Right-Wing idea popular in America that a nation should not provide health and welfare services for its citizens, that people should sink or swim by their own poverty or wealth.
Yet it accompanies a video by CGTN America, which admits being a tool of the People's Republic of China.
The irony? China is left-wing; though to the extreme. Nations to the left of hard-Right America; from the lightly-socialist democracies around Europe to the extremism of Communist China, do indeed provide such services. (China also uses them as a tool of control - but such abuse is not socialism.)
The PRC calls the USA "imperialist" (I agree!); yet is exactly imperialist herself.
Not by blundering around hurling high-explosives at people, which is the only way America seems to know; and only partly by land-seizure (Tibet) and seizing nearby islands to extend her territorial waters. China's main methods world-wide are by far stealthier political and economic means.
Really, the whole posts suggests having been made by or for the Beijing government.

@ArishMell That's partially my point. This isn't a surprise, and it isn't new. So why should this be the moment that brings it all down, when the financial crises of 2020, 2008, 2001, and 1991 didn't?

@SumKindaMunster It likely depended on enough people with the skill to prevent the situation going that far. We might ask if so, why did they let it happen, but I think many such crashes come rapidly and with little warning, stirred up by very many money-trader spivs around the world all acting in one go in a very short time.

The. Outlook is bleak. Best to aim for self reliance food water shelter. Stop foreign entanglements cease funding other countries’ wars. Set a retirement age for political office and enforce it. Offshore retirement platforms agricultural production paired with desalination. Simple solutions. Build up not out

@SumKindaMunster I did wonder if she had quoted it from somewhere, just as she had re-posted the videos.
Might not even be a lady in some cosy home somewhere in Middle America, either, as her fulsome profile and professionally-made photographs seem to describe her. She may be, but she seems trying too hard.
It could be quite revealing if instead of relying on users posting their country, which is voluntary anyway, SW automatically displays the country of origin of the messages.
