We're doomed

Let's face it guys, between the constant bigotry, the fluctuating economies, the fact that America has a lunatic and a criminal running for President, and last but not least, the fact that we're living in a secret plutocracy... yeah, we're doomed. There's no way for us to recover from this kind of madness. We've got to face facts, humanity, as well as Earth, is utterly doomed.

say the united states ok when you mean the US.

because 'america' spans MOST of the western hemisphere.

know that geography!

In my school you had a choice between history and geography, and I took history. And from that I learned an immortal quote from George Santayana: those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it
I don't know where I am on a map, but I know for a fact we're facing a revolution, or extinction.

There are so many opinions from different calibre of people,but things are changing be it for the good or bad is indifferent to the ordinary person on the street,politics and politisions have always imposed their will on the people,the United States of America has a constitution based on mass murder of the native Americans in the name of progress,the British had an empire based on greed and so on through out history.so for those of us who have seen wars first hand n experienced it's horrors,lets no pass judgement on mr trump after all if he does build a wall around America to keep foreigners out n Americans in,so be it,we in the free world can turn it into a giant swimming pool n rid the world of one race of interfering self opinionated tossers,the United Kingdom has it's brexit from Europe due to the influx of foreigners who were forced on it by the UN and European political demands back by the German n French powers,yet we choose to bitch n moan but do nothing,so if change comes we overcome adapt n cope,regardless of our choices our government are ruled by back handers n brown envelopes,we are only the workers in life's ant colony
We'll be fine. We always are
He got this far because the majority of the eligible voters didn't vote. Same with Hillary
Same with the Brexit

I agree. Nobody took Brexit seriously as a possibility, and even afterwards most who voted for Brexit admitted that they did it as a joke, like morons. But again, this is the state we got to because nobdoy was taking it seriously.
I am so sorry you've only just come to this realization.
We were doomed from the start.
But that does not mean some good can come out of what is left. Just keep your head about you and do what is right.

I've attempted to be hopeful about it, but looking around, no, there's no hope.
If Hilary is elected, she wont be the first criminal to take office.
Politically our country is pretty screwed. No one gives a damn unless it pays them a buck.

You need to find something to put your hope in.
Pro tip: It's not bureaucracy.

if the wall is built around the US maybe the rest of us will be okay

Give me a single example in history where mankind has benefitted from racism, sexism, or any other kind of bigotry. And I don't mean putting criminals in jail, I mean a country breaking in two over different ideas.
Call it too strong a word, but bigotry is what makes people build fences and walls around their homes. It's a deep-seated subconscious desires to protect their land from anyone else, it's the kind of thing we needed when we were cavemen, but don't need at all nowadays.
But we continue to do it, building walls, fences, and even entire buildings to keep certain people in certain places. Without even realising it we're enforcing to ourselves, and to our children, that people DESERVE to be separated.

My point was people want to build more walls, shut people out / in, and keep everyone seperate. Feminists call for women-only locations, BLM wants black-only locations, etc... without seeing how this is harming everybody
Borders are still a problem because they act as barriers and keep everybody locked in their own area, rather than being able to embrace each other. It's not about what we can share, it's about why we shouldn't share anything.
You think the human species is doomed because of American politics?
I have never said this before but that is a typical American narcissistic view of global affairs. Despite what you have been taught, the world does not revolve around the U.S.A.
twofacetoo · 26-30, M
I'm Scottish. I couldn't care less if America erupted into fire and vanished forever in a mysterious unexplained 'X-Files'-esque event.
That was ONE example. Get your head out of your arse and look around, the entire world is falling apart.
