America is dead. I don't care if we colonize Mars and discover new life in outer space. We're all hamsters running on a wheel in a petstore. Occasionally they'll take one of us out to feed the snake. Occasionally one will be a pet. We're not free people and we never will be.

The thing is, America has been dead for 30 years. Depending on how you look at it, its been dead since JFK was killed by the CIA. Everyone is upset now because we spent the last 4 years thinking we might have gotten a pulse back. So it feels like we're losing the country all over again.

We're probably not going to live to see America rise again given how pathetic the younger generations are today, but when those generations grow up and turn America into a third world shithole, the kids they raise will be strong and based.

We thought we could cheat the cycle and skip the weak men make hard times part, but it doesn't work that way. There are simply too many weak men for one Donald Trump to overcome.

The only reason freedom was allowed to exist in the first place is because there was an undiscovered country where you could hide and thrive in. There's nowhere left to run to. It WILL get bad and there won't be an alternative.

Best Korea actually sounds good.
