Make America Great Again seems to be the premise of too many recent elections. It's simply the new electoral strategy game people come up with. 'We have lost what is ours, vote for me I'll get it back'. Honestly, it's usually used as an overarching theme when you don't actually have any specifics in policy people like. Obama used a similar theme in 2008 and Romney in 2016.

America, without a doubt, is probably the ultimate success story for any young nation wanting to get in the big leagues. But all empires fall and all nations eventually fall from greatness. If they survive the plunge, usually in a couple hundred years they will find their way to relevance again. It's the course history takes.

America will be the rationalist Jew empire that destroys Europe and then itself and the West will fade into history. Inhabitants of America in 500 years might call themselves "American" like the Arab people who inhabit Egypt today call themselves "Egyptian" but there is no continuity between the different cultures that ruled over those lands.

enough agriculture has almost every country. enough natural resources to be nearly self-sufficient is a pretty stupid assumption.

You can have gripes about Americas past actions and Policies but to denies it's greatness as far as to imply it was never great is absurd.

Let me ask you so proud american patriots: when was America great? Was it when you wrecked up the middle east under Bush I and II? When you put in place dictatorships all over the world to assert your dominance? Was it when you trowed napalm at kids in Hanoi 1972? When you burned black students in the sixties because of unfounded hatred of the other? When you throwed away two nuclear bombs in a country that had already lost the war by every single indicator? When you created concentration camps for japanese descendents in WW2? When you turned away boats full of jews coming from nazi germany? When you killed yourselves in a bloody civil war because of a terrible institution such as slavery? Was it when your already big country invaded Mexico in order to get even bigger? Maybe it was when you were killing indians so you could civilize the land?

There is no such thing as a "good" or "evil" organization as large as a nation. Only superior and inferior.

Also a group that flagellates itself over its collective "crimes" has surrendered to the enemy. The moment a culture doubts its superiority it has fallen.

>bombing sandpeople

seems alright even by moralist standards; these are the same people who advocate for the destruction of Western White people through demographic genocide. At least Western White people freed their slaves willingly. If you believe the muh collective guilt meme then surely you want to hold more than just white people accountable.

when will idiots like ranek just admit that they're masochists who want to destroy western civilization

>increasing power without affirming faith

it doesn't matter if you have piles of WMDs, if your leadership and people don't have the will to power to use them then they will simply fall into enemy hands.

also there's no point in defending a culture that has lost its content and become rationalized, albeit for material reasons.

>cultures have ups and downs

cultures rise and fall. there are no historical examples of a culture "coming back" after dying.
