Watching the Decline/End of America as a Superpower in Realtime ...

The problem is that the leftists are out of touch with reality and live in a World whereby Biden will be tough on the Chinese (even they deep down understand that China is the core issue here). They will believe whatever those who take polls and write for Old Joe will ask them to believe. Losers want to win, at any cost. That's America. Beyond that, we have a generation where darn near all of our male children have no clue what is going on because their truth is Fortnite and Minecraft. Enter AOC. It seems inevitable that capitalism will collapse because it takes a driven entrepreneurial spirit to keep it alive. We have two core groups that lack that fundamental value. Trump is literally the only capable person standing in the way and that is the seed of their hatred for him.

You seem particularly dim.

Conflict of interest means Trump will roll over and show his belly again.

Patriots hate this.

That’s power that a military can’t beat... They own America’s paper GDP, especially considering China’s power goes towards its people much more than America.. They have universal healthcare. They crushed covid19. They have less homeless and less incarcerated. It’s an actual society. Oh, they video their citizens like America but they want to make a better society. It’s all so terrible! America would never try to make their society better. They can’t even admit they track their people.

And how did covid19 work out for America

People vote with their feet. If you claim China is better, yet you are in America, you are a hypocrite.

YES! Good bye Murica! Hello China!! Soi bois go home devastated!!!!

Mind-blowing! ?

You need to educate yourself boy.

You need to stop being a racist fu*k.

Hello, news flash, we are in fact a nation of immigrants. You are a dupe and a mark, Trump is a con artist and you still don't realize you've had your brain washed at Trump University.

The Ones tearing down the Statues are some FAR LEFT Losers, The Overwhelming Majority Of Americans Love our Country and are EXTREMELY PROUD of our History. Remember we have 330 Million People, so there is bound to be some Troublemakers, just because the numbers are so huge.

We're already getting out BOOTSTRAPS ready for the future ahead of us.

Seriously what are you talking about? Since 50,000 people have died (more coming) in the US for the Coronavirus that is it? Because China lied about its numbers they are now superior to the US?

China's numbers are low, but I'm not convinced that they lied about them. China obviously didn't count the deaths before they had a test developed, so deaths before January 23rd were not counted. They adjusted upward their numbers Feb. 11th and April 17th, something that you wouldn't do if you were hiding cases/deaths. They openly said that their case counts don't include asymptomatic people. The US isn't even testing asymptomatic people.

Canova said earlier this week when Italy was at about 20,000 deaths that an expert looking into the deaths said the real number was about 70,000 there. Similarly, the US is generally not counting people dying at home. Dying at home is a common thing with the coronavirus. People are fine and then they suddenly crash. The first confirmed death in the US, which they discovered a couple days ago looking back to early Feb. in California, was a woman that died at home. Almost all countries are "lying" about their numbers if undercounts are your standard for that.

I can imagine the Alan35, Fake Facts Matter, Wigins Bad, Giles Corey, Hungry, Violent Mob morans of China were screaming in protest when China adjusted upward their numbers. How dare they include people dying with COVID-19!

I agree with you, i think china would be the next in the race.

Maybe you should listen to your Facebook friend a bit more.

This can’t be serious. Each region in China was heavily incentivised to record 0 deaths after the initial outbreak.

haven't read the whole thread but here's my quick take.

US: Yes, on the decline

China: On the rise, but glass ceiling of Communism on the way

Next True Superpower: AI, possible ASI (artificial super intelligence)

No nation as we currently know them will become a superpower ever again.

Are you aware of how hard they locked down? How is the virus spread going to spread when people are stuck in their homes with the gates closed, food brought to them by local officials? There are videos of the lockdown on youtube.

El Keniano has certainly asked a relevant question here.

Currently USA is in a steep decline with trump & zero healthcare system & lack of immigration/new blood. These will change soon, I think. If not, the possibility is very real.

Let's be real. The entire world is in a technological arms race. Whoever gets to ASI first has control, until the ASI controls them too. I don't trust Xi Jinping's based upon his facial expressions, so it pains me to say that China has a high chance of creating ASI first.

To be sure though, the poorest nation in the world could create ASI due to some resident genius and they would soon control the world if they so wished.

Any being with an IQ orders of magnitude higher than humans will easily rule the world.

The fact that the elected leader of the usa suggests to inject disinfectant to fight pandemic is a clear sign that ... well, that the superpowers best days are behind.

Yeah, China is going to overtake the USA because the communist party lets in millions of illegal Third World immigrants every year.

More like a few thousand Africans as virtual slave labor, who they treat worse than dogs (well,ok, they don't cook them alive like they do dogs).

The clues continue to mount.

We now know that El K is middle-aged, identifies as Kenyan, both as a man and a woman, has a white British father who he/she hates, likely has some kind of Spanish connection...
