Does anyone deny that we are on a societal decline?




It get more and more obvious every year. Starting around 2003, when Biden and Bush lied us into Iraq, we have been on a decline as a society.

Open air drug markets in every major city. College education only affordable by the elites. The smallest of Emergency Room visits taking 6+ hours and being tens of thousands of dollars. Entire neighborhoods of cities where crime is rampant and nobody speaks English. The courts being used to go after political opponents while the border faces what is possibly the largest invasion in human history. Heck, our government is so dysfunctional that it can't operate a space program and relies on private companies.

Simply put, we are not in a functioning society. How long are we going to pretend that we are and what will be the outcome?

This was unimaginable 20 years ago. Even the lack of culture compared to 20 years ago is depressing as there is no longer "art for art's sake", but everything is about "the message" which is apparently a destructive one judging by our culture.

It started with 911.

They want America gone.

reply

So in effect, the terrorist on 911 accomplished the long-game they wanted. It’s a hard pill to swallow that the terrorist won.

reply

Who is "they" supposed to be here exactly?

reply

If you don't like the society your ancestors immigrated to, then go back home to Europe.

reply

What a stupid fucking response!

reply

Indeed: it is intended as parody; I have had two or three on this board in conversation with me who tell immigrants to go home if they don't like America.

reply

So immigrants that come to America and then complain about America find it offensive that someone would say if you don’t like it here why did you come and feel free to go back??

I’m not following your logic filmflan.

reply

Seems pretty analogous to me.

reply

Since everyone is an immigrant, or the descendant of one, then excepting native Americans the same logic can apply: go back home if you don't like it here.

reply

They need to go home regardless of whether they like America or not.

reply

Back you go then, - unless you are Native American, of course....

reply

I'm White, America belongs to me. Native savages are not entitled to shit.

reply

You're an immigrant. Go back to Europe!

reply

America is for White Europeans. I can't be any clearer than that. What about this do you not understand?

reply

Europe is where you belong. You're an unwanted immigrant, go home. Understand that, America for true Americans only!

reply

Still not getting it, I see. I am White, which is the very definition of true American. Savages only exist here because of our generosity and compassion. We chose to show mercy instead of exterminating them all. They occupy our country, a land we conquered; it belongs to us.

reply

You are an immigrant, just go home. We all know that crime, whether it is drugs, child prostitution and pet eating is common to immigrants, you all need to be sent back, forcibly if necessary. Being white only confirms your illegitimate status as unwanted and of the European race. The only true American is a Native American! It was always their country not yours. Leave.

reply

I see you're more interested in being obtuse on purpose. Have at it Hoss.

reply

Just go home. It is hardly obtuse to spell out such a clear message to all immigrants with strong and compelling reasons to see the back of them ALL. If you don't agree look at all the similar sentiments on this board by others with all the carefully researched reasons they offer. Immigrants are just not wanted here, including all those Europeans; immigrants are dirty, commit crimes and are of low intelligence. You are of an immigrant race, so start packing. Trump will shut the borders so you lot won't try and get back in.

reply

That's pretty much the definition of non-indigenous.

reply

Europe is where you belong and you admit it is where you came from. You're an unwanted immigrant or of immigrant stock, so go home. The logical is impeccable. Understand that? America for true Americans only!

reply

Add a loss of purchasing power and you're pretty much spot on. Good post.

reply

Based on the country's public and natural wealth, big population, geopolitical position, policies (they don't waste trillions of $ on wars; they use them to build their cities and the most impressive public works). Also, their cultural influence is getting bigger and bigger. It's just not important in the West yet.

reply

The population that is projected to crash by 2100?

>Also, their cultural influence is getting bigger and bigger. It's just not important in the West yet.

It's probably grown since the 1970s, to be sure, but it's got nothing on South Korea, Japan which is honestly utterly pathetic given the size and prosperity of their country.

reply

> The population that is projected to crash by 2100?
It will be much finer than the West's. Don’t pay attention to the spiteful projections of jealous mainstream media that can't stand seeing the West losing the number one spot. I'm not Chinese or Asian in the slightest, but I don't mind China becoming the dominant power. Time for a change. It will be of benefit to both parties.

> It's probably grown since the 1970s, to be sure, but it's got nothing on South Korea,
Korea and Japan are westernized. I guess it will take decades for Chinese cinema and arts to surpass American cinema and arts in those countries and in any Western land.

And how is this ever going to happen? Chinese cinema is creatively generic. Endless xianxia slop and heavy state censorship throttles its growth capacity.

reply

That doesn't somehow mean they have good birth rates. Plenty of European countries are homogenous but don't have good birth rates either.

>It will benefit the West because it will make it reconsider past decisions, rectify mistakes.

What past decisions? What mistakes would these be?

Still want to know how Chinese media presence is going to spread with their heavy state censorship.

reply

China is in a much better state than all European lands and America.

> What past decisions? What mistakes would these be?
Too many to mention. One for example, tons of taxpayer money spent on wars especially by the USA. Also, not enough protectionist policies. After decades of Made in China and Made in [insert other Asian country], it is time that we pay the price and foot the bill. After constant outsourcing, our industries are gone. Slavery has been replaced by the West's hiring of low-wage Asians.

reply

>China is in a much better state than all European lands and America.

You've given no actual data to bacxk this claim up.

No conflict is the same. You'd have to be more specific.

I thought China was brilliant, yet now you tell me that they have a wage-slave cheap economy that work their people to death? I rather agree. Hardly a point in their favour though.

China is safer and people don’t live under the spectrum of a war, whereas in Europe a war is under way and others are very likely to take place and the Ukraine war may lead to WWIII. Also, China faces no energy problem. Cheap energy for its people, while in Greece and Germany and elsewhere, electricity bills are very high.

> No conflict is the same. You'd have to be more specific.
Trillions of $ on Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Billions for Ukraine and Israel.

English people may not be fond of Chinese movies, does that mean Asians think in the same way? No, they are of different mentality. They don't want to see gays and lesbians having sex in their movies.

reply

>China is safer and people don’t live under the spectrum of a war, whereas in Europe a war is under way and others are very likely to take place and the Ukraine war may lead to WWIII.

None of this has anything to do with the declining birth rates in China. China can't become the global power if their birth rates are as they are, and remain so.

And only one country in Europe is at war.

So where is your evidence for China somehow recovering its birth rates?

>Trillions of $ on Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Billions for Ukraine and Israel.

I doubt Iraq and Afghanistan will be major issues of thought in 40 years time, for instance. I know your real position on Israel is that you're a bloodthirsty genocidal piece of shit and salivate over the prospect of all Jews there being slaughtered because you're a nazi piece of shit.

>English people may not be fond of Chinese movies, does that mean Asians think in the same way?

China has some soft power in its immediate region of East Asia and parts of South Asia. But it has very poor soft power in Europe, North America, South America, Africa. That's the point. It's not a cultural or media hegemon. It's nowhere close. People all over the world consume American, British, Korean, Japanese content. It's not comparable.

>No, they are of different mentality. They don't want to see gays and lesbians having sex in their movies.

Are you a fucking idiot?

Thailand and Japan make tons of LGBT gay romance TV shows.

Also, since when did every single TV show and film from the USA/west contain nothing but gay sex, as you imply?

reply

>None of this has anything to do with the declining birth rates in China.
China doesn’t worry. More declining birth rates in the West.

>And only one country in Europe is at war.
Not really. NATO is at war and the war may expand to other countries (first in the Baltic lands). Greek PM and a minister have said that Greece IS AT WAR with Russia. The conflict is affecting us directly.

> I doubt Iraq and Afghanistan will be major issues of thought in 40 years time, for instance.
Why? The USA's public debt amounts to tens of trillions. China's debt is VERY LOW compared to that of USA.

> But it has very poor soft power in Europe, North America, South America.
It has a HUGE power in the field of technology products and many other products too. Cheap Chinese stores here and there and Chinese restaurants everywhere. When it comes to culture, it may spread to Europe too, we may see in the future their movies at the cinemas or on TV. In fact, I can't speak for all European lands: some may even project Chinese movies.

> Thailand and Japan make tons of LGBT gay romance TV shows.
Thailand and Japan are more liberal. Most Asians think differently and are much more conservative than Westerners.

reply

>China doesn’t worry. More declining birth rates in the West.

More? Still waiting for evidence.

>Not really. NATO is at war and the war may expand to other countries (first in the Baltic lands). Greek PM and a minister have said that Greece IS AT WAR with Russia. The conflict is affecting us directly.

A cold war if you want. NATO is not in direct conflict. NATO is not directly confronting Russia. If it was, Russia's offensive capacities would be devastated by now.

>Why? The USA's public debt amounts to tens of trillions. China's debt is VERY LOW compared to that of USA.

Why would they be? They'd be the equivalent of people talking about the Korean War in 2010. It makes no sense.

>It has a HUGE power in the field of technology products and many other products too.

Tech power isn't cultural/media power. But sure, they manufacture a lot - but their creative field is really bad for a country of that size.

>Cheap Chinese stores here and there and Chinese restaurants everywhere.

In the UK there's Indian, Italians too - with equal prominence. China food soft power is there, but it's not remotely unparalleled.

>When it comes to culture, it may spread to Europe too, we may see in the future their movies at the cinemas or on TV. In fact, I can't speak for all European lands: some may even project Chinese movies.

And based on what do you say this? How can Chinese media presence is going to spread with their heavy state censorship.

>Thailand and Japan are more liberal. Most Asians think differently and are much more conservative than Westerners.

So who are "most asians" here? Korea also has its share of LGBT gay romance series.

reply

> More? Still waiting for evidence.
Also, safer cities and happier people. Very low crime rates.

> A cold war if you want.
A war that has claimed the lives of many thousands but since most casualties are Slavic persons, you count it as a COLD WAR.

> Tech power isn't cultural/media power.
China's tech success is taking the world by storm, while Chinese language is rivaling English.

> In the UK there's Indian, Italians too
Chinese restaurants everywhere.

> How can Chinese media presence is going to spread with their heavy state censorship.
So, they have to be approved by Englishmen or Yankees in order to be successful? Nope!

> So who are "most asians" here?
The ones who are not approved enough by England: Chinese, Indonesians, Arabs, Pakistanis, Vietnamese etc.

reply

Not what I asked you. Birth rate evidence please.

>A war that has claimed the lives of many thousands but since most casualties are Slavic persons, you count it as a COLD WAR.

No, I count it as a cold war because its heightened tensions. NATO is not in conflict with Russia in a military sense. Ukraine and Russia are at war.

And like you give the slightest fuck about Slavic people.

>China's tech success is taking the world by storm, while Chinese language is rivaling English.

Is it? Based on what evidence? Its heavily concentrated in China and East Asia.

>Chinese restaurants everywhere.

Okay so?

>So, they have to be approved by Englishmen or Yankees in order to be successful? Nope!

I didn't say that. I pointed out their state censorship that throttles creativity. How can it spread when its heavily censored by the state?

>The ones who are not approved enough by England: Chinese, Indonesians, Arabs, Pakistanis, Vietnamese etc.

Pakistan likely doesn't watch much Chinese content. Not the Arabic world generally. The point is that Chinese media culture post-WW2 only has a decent impact in its region. Nowhere else.

Whereas people all across the globe consume US, UK, Korean and Japanese content.

Also, homogeneous population. This is very important to guarantee the unity of a people.

Nope, Chinese tech products in Europe and all over the world. European car industries are alarmed by Chinese competition. They should lower their prices and at the same time protectionist measures must be taken, because otherwise everything will be in the hands of Chinese.

Look at these restrictions here. They have much more sanitised content than the western world.

>They don't consume UK content all over the globe and if they do so, PROVIDE EVIDENCE!

Not to equal levels, sure. Someone in USA likely watches more UK content than someone in Brazil. The BBC has a global footprint. It was prominent, second to the USA, is the development of post-WW2 rock and pop music. Metal music comes from the UK. UK exports a ton of actors to perform in global TV shows and films and literature (TV shows and films with global reach). Punk mostly comes from the UK. UK TV/film brands/franchises like Doctor Who, James Bond, Mr. Bean, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Robin Hood, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie. Influential figures like George Orwell.

Your link is old and in Chinese! China has grown and changed a lot. The huge variety of movies attest the evolving culture. Moreover, the West represents a small percentage of the world population. Therefore, China's influence must be examined also from the outlook of all the others who aren't part of the West. To an Indonesian, the culture of Shanghai and Cantonese people may not seem very censored!

Provide evidence that NATO soldiers are actively fighting Russians.

You can already see Chinese TV shows on services like Netflix. It's just that, for the most part, the western world and most other parts of the world are not watching them. Why is this?

>Your link is old and in Chinese!

Use google translation genius.

> China has grown and changed a lot. The huge variety of movies attest the evolving culture.

Based on what? Can Chinese people make TV shows and films that depict LGBT people? Can they make TV shows and films that negatively characterise and potray the CCP or PRC? Can they criticise Chinese social customs? Can they make fun of their politicians? Can they produce gore and violence and nudity in movies and TV series like the western world? Can they make 'gritty' content in the same way as the USA and the western world?

You do realise censorship tends to be more nefarious than just banning fantasy or sci-fi, right?

>Moreover, the West represents a small percentage of the world population.

There's no good evidence that most of the world consumes much Chinese content. It's heavily concentrated in East Asia.

>From where does paper come from? From where come most android smartphones? UK's influence was no doubt big, but it is declining now. Sorry mate!

Yes, UK influence is declining. I never claimed otherwise. But it's still big.

Low birth rates in the West and at the same time in many lands shrinking of its native population and increase of outlanders-migrants. Chinese are homogeneous, more united and disciplined. I consider the average China man smarter than the average European or American.

>Why is this?
Not enough promotion. I've never seen a commercial about Chinese movie in Greece or the West. Greeks won’t reject Chinese movies: non-English series have an important share in the TV market. The other major reason is that people from Latvia to Portugal and Brazil to Mexico identify more easily with Hollywood content: they remain in the Western sphere.

>Use google translation genius.
Old link, and not always accurate translation and besides assessment of a degree of censorship is arbitrary. Some may consider the UK to be a land where the State censors much or that doesn’t respect one's freedom. Censorship is a subjective matter.

The world doesn’t revolve around London and Washington. You prefer what your fellow men produce, Chinese and many others prefer what Chinese produce. Western culture is more dominant in most regions of the world; we'll see the results of the rivalry in the next years. I repeat it will take decades for Chinese culture to become number one in the West and most probably will never become. In any case, we are heading towards a multipolar world.

>The world doesn’t revolve around London and Washington. You prefer what your fellow men produce, Chinese and many others prefer what Chinese produce.

I didn't say they couldn't. But that that Chinese filmmakers, directors, screenwriters literally cannot broach certain topics by law. This is not the case in most western countries.

Not unbreakable. Don’t forget that the USA is becoming more Asianized and less Anglo-Saxon every year. Hollywood's presence may decline in lands that prefer Anglo-Saxon or European culture.

I repeat censorship is arbitrary. Someone from the USA or elsewhere may consider the UK a land of censorship. Why? Ask them!

China will be number one, the most powerful country. It doesn't have to be popular at the movies or on our TVs to become number one power. you focus on movies because it is your strong point, but there are many other aspects to be taken into account: public debt, population (the USA is home to 330 million and acts as world policeman, why can't China with more than 1 billion and a very strong army act likewise?), alliances (BRICS getting bigger and threatening the SWIFT system), natural resources etc.

Dude, you are a habitual liar. You lie about everything. You make shit up. I instinctively think you're bullshitting about almost everything. You lied about Norway being pro-Nazi. You lied about Denmark being pro-Nazi.

The war that Russia started? Any reason you fall for fake news nonsense?

>Because South Korea is a major USA ally. That's a very important factor to consider, while China is a rival that must be stopped.

So is Taiwan a major US ally, yet its cultural content isn't prominent in the same way. Chinese content is just as accessible to western audiences as Korean, or Japanese, or many other countries.

>Don’t forget that the USA is becoming more Asianized and less Anglo-Saxon every year.

Any evidence for this?

>Hollywood's presence may decline in lands that prefer Anglo-Saxon or European culture.

Hollywoods presence is declining because it is competing more and more with more capable entertainment industries from Europe, South America, India and Korea and Japan. To an extent China too, but its only one of many players there.

>I repeat censorship is arbitrary. Someone from the USA or elsewhere may consider the UK a land of censorship. Why? Ask them!

So you can't. As usual. You're just playing the old "its all the same" Russian-style propaganda nonsense they use to excuse their own censorship. The USA does have more civil liberties than the UK in many areas. You can actually compare these things.

>China will be number one, the most powerful country. It doesn't have to be popular at the movies or on our TVs to become number one power. you focus on movies because it is your strong point, but there are many other aspects to be taken into account: public debt, population (the USA is home to 330 million and acts as world policeman, why can't China with more than 1 billion and a very strong army act likewise?)

Chinas population is collapsing. I made this point to you many times and you have not adequately addressed it.

BRICs is a meme economic alliance where half of its members hate each other.

Demographic data. Many Asian (Indian, Chinese etc.) migrants. Less births among whites, less whites moving to the US: Italian community in NYC has shrunk, while the Chinatown is big and strong. Also, more and more Latinos, which explains the rise of soccer popularity.

Depends on the migrants country of origin, in addition they help offset the wests current birth rate problem.

Sending equipment and weapons isn't sending troops to die. Dude, you think the UK, USA etc could somehow cover up soldiers on the frontline? Thousands would have died by now, but you can't provide a single credible example of a single US, UK, French, German etc soldier who has died fighting for Ukraine under the NATO banner. You are full of shit.

This is why Chinese cultural and media power is so garbage. Censorship is toxic to art. It's why the USSR never had any impact culturally and the USA/west did.

Yes, it is inferior. There is absolutely no equality between nations.

Inequality was, is and will be the norm. Some are much more powerful than others and control them: UK more powerful and influential than Peru, Peru superior to Paraguay, etc.

Once influential and prosperous Hong Kong cinema has been slowly and systematically dropping off into the abyss of irrelevance since the handover in 1997. The malign influence of the autoritarian CCP at work. The once potentially great mainland directors like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou were again slowly, systematically ground down and forced to either retire or become grotesque propagandistic charicatures of themselves once their films got a little too critical of society and Chinese history for the CCP's liking.

None of this is evidence. The USA also has no interest in attacking China. And China is also not self-sufficient either. China most notably is much less self-sufficient in food.

Lgbt people are problematic and usually unfit for military service; no army should enlist them (perhaps two exceptions being recruitment of gays /lesbians /bisexuals in the healthcare corps or as signalers; as you can see I'm more open-minded than you think). They will harm the troops' cohesion and discipline and may divert attention to their mental issues. Gays living in barracks are bound to unleash their sexual urges and effeminate other soldiers weakening their combative abilities.

The army (especially Uncle Sam's politically correct army) will not publicize such an incident. The gay may be penalized and this will bring the issue to a private close.

They have the means and budget to compete with Hollywood. China's industry is more westernized than Bollywood and Nollywood and has more chances to cater to Western audiences. However, I don't claim it will dominate in the cinematic sector; that’s unlikely in the near and not so near future.

This is years before W was even office. Biden even argued to unilaterally invade Iraq, a position so extreme that W wasn't even for it.

And yes, intelligence is given to the committee he was chair of. At the time, the President had to get the vote of the Senate to go to war, and Biden was the one specifically who made sure the Iraq War happened. Who was in what party at the time is irrelevant....what is relevant is the crimes against humanity that each individual supported.

Personally, I was a Ron Paul fan who was calling out the war crimes by W, Biden, Powell, Clinton, Rice, Rumsfield, Kerry and others at the time. I regret nothing. In fact, I've never voted for a single candidate that ever cast a vote for the Iraq War.

You have a valid point. But GWB was the CinC, not Biden or any Senator, and Bush/Cheney pushed Tenet to certify the single-source (Curveball) bullshit as valid intel - I don't think Biden or anyone outside that loop had visibility into the extent of the fraud involved into the cooked intel on WMD.

That distinction might not mean anything to you, I don't know - but to me it is the distinction between an author and proof-reader w/o the access for ultimate fact-checking.

Ron Paul wasn't ever going to run anything, btw. Stay in the real world.

The intelligence agencies report to the Senate members on the head of the Foreign Relations committee. The fact Biden was begging to commit war crimes in Iraq years before W was in office proves that Biden came to the conclusion independently.

In fact, one could argue that given W's (ironic in hindsight) campaign based on anti nation building, 9/11 was what caused W to adopt the Iraq War that Biden was pushing for years. He definitely was in the inner circle and even coordinated with the W campaign as he handpicked every witness in the Senate since he was chair of the Foreign Relations committee. The fact we haven't tried him and W for the most egregious war crime of the 21st century is puzzling to me. There's no doubt that they are both guilty as sin and will burn in Hell.

And Ron Paul did run for something as he was congressman for years and I even voted for him for President in 2012. Maybe ease down on the Internet to prevent brain rot and you'd be able to remember that.
