    Default Will Civilization Collapse?

    @Kathianne : Title is a bit misleading. The video is more about the reasons for civilizations collapsing, not learning from history being primary. Otherwise, the steps civilizations go through prior to collapse look at LOT like us.

    Well worth watching. Yes, it is pretty well known how civilizations collapse, but this sums it up nicely. Yes, we are on the path, imo.

    The biggest shame to me is we have the knowledge yet keep right on down the drain. A united people could stop this. I'd say they're in the ambivalent drone stage.

    Yet, no one wants to address the ignorance of the people-from adults to those in school now. As I mentioned in that other thread, education in this country really was based on a citizenry educated on founding and why. Today, the schools are all about social justice, not American History, much less Western Civ.

    I know of no one thing that would solve the problems which are based on more than one issue and answer.

    As Kathianne, alludes, education is key. An uneducated populace is a herd of sheep looking for a shepherd. It is fortuitous or unfortunate, depending on one's point of view and status, that we have just the power-crazy people in government willing to take on the latter role.

    what do the people need to be taught?

    high priestess of intelligence?

    is more money for education really the best we can come up with on a righty forum?

    really?

    let talk about something we can do tomorrow that can at least slow the circling down the drain.

    You all know I think it's massive tariffs, at least for americans.

    we have everything, now if we just don't let our money be siphoned away with globalist dum dum we will be fine.

    just great actually.

    do you people hate GREAT?

    maybe you people are all just too old and can't accept an obvious thing you've been brainwashed against your entire adult lives.
