We have a lot of photography from Detroit but I personally think the decay is far too charismatic and place-y. I would recognize a Detroit Decay picture from a mile away.

No, I think collapse core evokes a placeness rust- all those towns in the middle of the country whose sole population will be dying out in the next ten years. Wallace Stegner's American Western Placelessness idea, which I think is no longer in the West but spreading from Idaho, skipping Utah and Colorado, and hitting everywhere up to the new england southern coastal states.

Yea, this is why they are constantly trying to get out from under the US dollar as the global standard. Neat fact no one knows: China is the number lender of loans to nation states, all in US dollars. If the US dollar fails, China will fail. Our economies are currently inextricably linked.

It's sole saving grace is that its local elites aren't as divided aa the population and the federal states right now gain nothing from breaking the union, but it will change it the next 10-15 years.

Why do people think it will be an immediate collapse? The US will just slowly devolve into a 2nd world country minus all the values and drag the rest of the western world with it.

The US will die with the white majority. No other race is more productive, inventive, or charitable than white people. These are the only people in the world who care about the environment and the welfare of people who will not benefit them in any way. They will be replaced by the Chinese and the world will reflect that.

Oh but some cop killed a black guy so they deserve it. Let's get back at whitey in the meantime by burning down his business's.

Best ending: Hipster futurism
Bad ending: Techno dystopia

>>15479193
More importantly, Whites are the only race in the US that actually pay taxes. Literally everyone else is either too small to matter (Asians, Indians) or exists purely handouts from the government (Blacks, Hispanics).

>>15479134
The world needs the US to not starve. Most of the world's food is produced by US exports. The only other two countries with actual food security are Canada and the Netherlands.

>>15476119
A lot of it is planned. Here's how it works: take out a big fucking insurance policy on your unprofitable store, then give money to some Charitable Foundation like the SPLC, the ADL, etc etc etc, and oh look suddenly a horde of rampaging Negroes just burnt it down, good thing literally everything was insured for 2x its value! If people with power didn't want this sort of thing to happen, it wouldn't happen, which is why mostly Black owned businesses are the ones getting destroyed (those pictures with "Minority Owned Business plz don't burn" on the front door are in 99% White areas). That Target that got burnt down? 99% of its customers were Black.

The US is literally the most wasteful country in the world. I think its the only developed country where major political forces outright deny climate change.
For all the polluting that India and China do, they actually acknowledge that environmental degredation poses a threat. China is making a heavy push towards nuclear, and both India and China lead the world in reforrestation

These niggers think they're hitting whitey which is bad enough but everybody gets hurt by it. Insurance companies pay and justifiably raise their rates which then cause business to raise their prices. People buy less, businesses which usually operate on short margins end up going bankrupt, people lose their jobs. Black people are the most self destructive people in this country.

Lol seethe harder retard. The top 2 countries in terms of plastic pollution are China and Indonesia. The US literally exports trash to Indonesia for them to deal with. No surprise most of it ends up in the ocean. India actually banned all single use plastics recently. Could you imagine the US trying to implement that? People would turn it into a culture war issue and it would go nowhere.

I agree, the US elites are pretty much all in agreement on important issues and that's what's keeping it stable. They might fight each other to achieve power, but they don't actually want to change the system.
These retard riots don't really matter in the long run, they're just for venting.

>but it will change it the next 10-15 years.
I doubt it will happen so fast. People overestimate the impact of demographic changes. LA has become minority white in just a few decades and nobody seems to care.
As long as the economy is at least 2nd world tier not much will happen. People are too sedated, fat, lazy and individualistic.

what comes "after" burgerpunk is the sort of thing that obviates the need for a concept of an "after"
like if you asked "what happened after the sun went supernova" or "what happened after the asteroid hit" - sure, something happens, but whatever it is, it's only tangentially related to the original subject

The USA cannot be overthrown or balkanize you absolute idiots. The US military is more powerful than all the civilians in the world combined. Even if 200 million people took up arms, they would lose. Why? Because the US military has autonomous drones that can just mow people down from the sky without risking any loyalists. They have sonic cannons that can burns people to ashes from a distance. And those are just the things we know about. And because the USA is a nuclear power, no foreign entity can back up any sort of separatist or insurgent movement. It is de facto impossible for civilians to beat the US government, so what will happen is that it will just become more authoritarian in order to suppress protesters as it loses strength and slips into becoming a smaller power. Any sort of meaningful change in the USA will have to go through official democratic channels, which as you are probably aware are ultimately meaningless.

You forgot to mention how they're also always spying on people. If people got together for a genuine militia group, they would be immediately suppressed.

It all comes down to food, water, steel and information. The US could barely sustain a fight against a bunch of rice farmers after dropping more bombs on them than all that were dropped on Europe in WW2, all because they didn’t have support at home. It doesn’t matter if you can nuke New York City 10x over, once your population tips you lose. The government is the spirit of the people as much as the feds try and separates themselves from that. The Chinese understand this well, they don’t let their population reach threshold, and they control the information given

negro if you think that rome failing didn't immediately constitute the end of western civilization as it was then known, resulting in an extremely touch-and-go period known as the Dark Ages where we almost became another caliphate or horse-nigger wasteland, read your history again.

The rest of these are more debatable, but in all seriousness, the fall of the French empire was a huge fucking deal and the West as we know it looks very different on either side of that event. The same goes for the fall of the British empire - in an indirect way, WWI and WWII would never have even happened if the British had truly been at their height; instead the Germans thought they could actually challenge the powers of Western Europe (and they were right, of course).

The fall of the USSR similarly is something that any fuck who wasn't alive prior to 1991 doesn't really understand. History looks absolutely, stunningly different - and in large parts of the world, this really did result in the breakdown of basic rule of law.

It's not something that tore the entire world down, true, but then the big difference between all of the above is that in every case, the entire world wasn't ultimately basing their financial policy off the strength of the USD.

>>15476147
>>15476173
>>15476174
>>15476200
China's elite most likely have all their wealth in America. Probably a fair amount in USD too. The fact is the world economy is basically centralised on America, when damage happens to it the American economy other economies tank it until the world falls apart. China will take the world, slowly, but destroying America is the worst thing they could do.

>>15481465
regardless of what you think of the cultural worth of the Dark Ages in the West, please understand that the actual people in that period were scared shitless about what I've spoken about, and understood it to be the great existential crisis of their time.

Lmao china got no resources. They are dependent on exporting cheap shit. Even their chromium for their steel industry comes from south africa and the moment the niggers and the Boer start fighting that supply dries up.

you seem to me to be implying that the end of US hegemony would not have devastating consequences for the rest of the world, by comparing the threat of that to past incidents which were also heralded as "end-of-the-world"-type scenarios that we have survived. I believe the point you thought you were making was that since we have survived these, we should not be as worried about the potential for the USA to also fail.

My point contra yours is that it IS worth worrying about and it would be catastrophic. Not something we as a civilization wouldn't survive, mind you, but that's a lot at stake.

>>15481991
At this point, without the infrastructure in-country to make many parts of the US military supply chain, our forces would be quite brittle against any enemy coalition that broad. We could win against the first few invasion attempts, perhaps, but eventually we'd run out of whatever unobtanium they could keep from us and the war machine would run into a very bad spot before industry could be brought back online in-country to save it.

what does 12 mean

>>15482885

It's a clear reference to the police, in any event. After a short search it appears to refer to the alphanumeric "AB" (=12) of "ACAB", All Cops Are Bastards. So if read literally, it becomes "Fuck Are Bastards", itself an incoherent statement but they're not concerned about that (coherence). The alphanumeric 12 can also be read like gang signs (MS-13), sports jersey numbers, and I initially thought it might have to do with the specific officer's badge number but apparently not. In a word: nigger culture.
