Why The System is Failing

Five key conditions are pushing the United States towards systematic collapse.These factors are Economic Decay, Systematic Corruption, Rejection of Objective Reality, Tribalized Internal Divisions, and Global Overstretch. Most unbiased and attentive observers, regardless of their varied cultures, geography, ideology, and political viewpoints, should be able to recognize most, if not all, the main factors inclining our country towards collapse. This section will define and explore each of these trends.

Unfortunately, the deliberate actions and the reflexive biases of our country’s elite have brought about the conditions that are driving our collective descent into systemic failure. Corruption benefits individuals entrenched within a corrupt system’s influential positions. Our rejection of common reality is largely the result of intentional government lies and self-serving mass media agendas. The two party system, along with divide-and-rule efforts by the economically privileged, have caused ideological differences to devolve into tribal dynamics. Economic decay is the inevitable result of the short-sighted and self-interested actions of powerful corporations and politicians who control the levers of real political power. Unending foreign interventions have directly benefited our politicians and attendant members of our politically and economically privileged. These elite interests, having lived their entire lives during a period of unprecedented American global dominance, cannot fathom the possibility of their power coming against real limits.

The powerful interests that control our economy and political process are either unwilling or unable to adequately address the failures of a system that continues to benefit them personally and institutionally. Therefore, these failures will continue, and likely accelerate, until the current elite lose their power or the system collapses. The elite are well-entrenched, short-sighted, and jealously defensive of their position, so systemic collapse is by far the most likely outcome.
