America Has Peaked

March 12, 2010 278 Comments

I read somewhere that an obesity epidemic is an indication that an empire, or dominant country or whatever you want to call it, is on a decline.

That got me thinking, wow, there are a ton of fat Americans nowadays. Does this mean that the US is on its way down, too?

There seems to be a lot of evidence that America has seen its peak. I hope it hasn’t. Because, you know, I’m an American and all. What do you think?

    [..YouTube..] P.S. If you don’t like what you hear, then all I can suggest is to go and do some thorough research. A good place to start is Naomi Klein and her documentary ‘Shock Doctrine’. That would be one of the best places to start.

    [..YouTube..] America was founded on genocide and slavery. The leaders – big politics and big business — have carried on this trend to the present day. America is the largest consumer of most resources. America has committed the worst acts of terrorism this world has seen. The Iraq war being the biggest. Also, plundering of many other nations, particularly Latin and South America. No, they don’t tell you about this in school — it’s all “we are the best” and “we pledge allegiance to the war/death machine”.

    [..YouTube..] America peaked a long time ago, in real terms. But the last decade or so of debt spending has given the illusion that we are still on top of things. WAKE UP people, we lost it a long time ago. Most definitely after we plundered and pillaged Iraq. But likely as far back as Franklin D. Roosevelt. After him it was downhill. But big banks and business give us the illusion being okay.

    [..YouTube..] @TheTcorps Good day to you too, person who fits every stereotype about Americans except being fat because I have no way of knowing that.

  5. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] @OttarErOsom I know you are but what am I?Hey we agree on one thing. Freddie rocked!Have a good day arrogant Icelandic guy.

  6. OttarErOsom says:

    [..YouTube..] @TheTcorps Remember that history is written by the victorious. If Hitler had won you’d be saying something like this: “Wenn es nicht für die Tapferkeit der deutschen Soldaten das du sein möchtest Russisch sprechen und die Juden würden alle Ihr Geld haben”. Americans barely did anything in WW2, you killed only around 100.000 soldiers while the Russians killed them in millions and the British did way more on the Western Front.Also, I’m inside on my computer because in this timezone it’s 23:04.

  7. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] @OttarErOsom You’d be speaking German and saluting a statue of Adolf Hitler were it not for the bravery of American soldiers in WWII. And you sound pretty envious to me.Go get some fresh air. You fucking live in Iceland and you are inside on the computer? Typical European.

  8. OttarErOsom says:

    [..YouTube..] @TheTcorps Typical idiotic American, we let people in because they are in need of help. You stereotype like an American, you are ignorant like an American, you talk about things you don’t know about like an American and you also think America is the best place in the world because of the simple fact that you were born there. I’m Icelandic and I’m willing to admit that life in Sweden is better. I’m a realist and I see this world for what it is, not what I want it to be.

  9. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] @OttarErOsom Typical, liberal, isolationist, European cowardly statement. Just remember were it not for “stupid Americans” your countries would have fallen into the hands of dictators long ago. You are politically correct, apologist buffoons to let militant Islamists in your countries. They don’t respect your culture.And I am a proud and free AMERICAN!

  10. OttarErOsom says:

    [..YouTube..] @TheTcorps I can not describe the facepalm that I’m witnessing.I said that black people came to America through slavery.Arabs aren’t causing trouble only some few exceptions and unlike America, when they try as hard as they can to get in we let them. According to international studies Scandinavia is currently the best place to live and no, they DON’T want to go to America because they,unlike so many Americans,know how horrible life is there.You are either just a stupid American or just a troll.

  11. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] @OttarErOsom Slavery was outlawed 147 years ago. Black people do in fact reproduce. And if what you are telling me is true then without the wars, your countries would in fact be all white still.From what I hear the Arabs who are coming are doing so to colonize and cause problems. After all nobody is breaking the door down to get to Sweden! They want to come HERE.Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a racist.

  12. OttarErOsom says:

    [..YouTube..] @TheTcorps WTF? Only white people in Scandinavia? That sort of stereotyping would indeed make you quite the racist. We don’t have as many black people because we didn’t go on special trips to Africa to get slaves but black people aren’t the only possible immigrants are they? We have huge amounts Arabians and Persians that have come here do to the war in the Middle East as well as Asians that came here during the Cold war. Go educate yourself.Also, Japan has the highest suicide rate.

  13. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] I don’t think you have any idea what built America. I think you went to fine schools and had everything handed to you and are just pandering now to those who feel victimized by a system that while not being perfect, has clearly given you a pretty good life. Well why don’t you educate yourself and then use your intelligence and personality to spread the truth instead of propogating fear and nonsense?

  14. TheTcorps says:

    [..YouTube..] @OttarErOsom Doesn’t Sweden have the highest suicide rate in the world? Aren’t there only white people in the Scandinavian countries? So are you saying that the whitest countries in the world are also the best? Wouldn’t that make you a …racist?

  15. OttarErOsom says:

    [..YouTube..] @bolshevikML Switzerland is indeed better than America but not No.1. In my honest opinion it would be Sweden, a little bit of Socialism, a little bit of Capitalism and a little bit of Royalism.

Well, you probably won’t like it, but here I go.The drive everyone has to be the wealthiest person on the block, to have the biggest house, the nicest car, and so on ad infinitum has only served to create a culture where we don’t give a damn about the disenfranchised or are unwilling to actually PAY for the initiatives necessary to help the disenfranchised.YAY! We’re number one! The biggest military and the biggest economy! So fucking what? I don’t care anymore. I’m leaving.

  24. [..YouTube..] @USAdude30 There wouldn’t be an immigration problem if those who employ them were being heavily fined for each illegal they hire. But then we wouldn’t need that many border patrol and police enforcement now would we. Any way you look at it, this system relies upon creating a problem and turning it into a business opportunity; including 9/11.
