The US is a country of problems

Whether youre in California or California or Florida, the United States just seems to be brewing even more and more problems these days, so being the intelligent people that we are, I thought we could discuss upon them and how to solve them and yes, they problems could be as outlandish as they may seem. Get creative with this. Think of intuitive solutions, but why is it that America has so many problems and why do the politicians we elect, just addicted to creating more problems? Whether its banning math, wanting to relocate grizzly bears to Colorado, or declining infrastructure, do you think its at all possible to actually solve all the problems and how? So, lets band together and fix this. Another revolution anyone?

I think world issues will resolve exactly as planned since the beginning of time.

The aliens will come, enslaving us—making us toil for centuries in accordance with the blueprints of their master plan. They’ll have us destroy all evidence of modernity. Cities will be torn down, and in their place will be erected monuments, temples, and massive mosaics that will be visible from space. Eventually, when satisfied with the fruits of our labors, the pyramids will rise from the ground, exposing themselves as the spaceships they’ve always been; the mother ship will break loose from the Antarctic ice. A select measure of humanity will be loaded onto these ships and stored in cryogenic tubes that will allow for ageless sleep over billions of light years of travel.

The destination is uncertain, but it will most probably be beyond the farthest edge of the known universe; beyond the Cosmic Microwave Background and it’s closest frontier.

The reason for this travel will be the preservation of humanity through the transition from the corporeal to the ethereal; it will be our salvation from death; our physical bodies, upon leaving the material universe, will be dissolved, rendering us eternal spirits.

To us this new ethereal realm will seem Heaven, but it will simply be the interdimensional mecca that’s been shared peacefully by enlightened entities for an incalculable duration; an everlasting period that has always been and always will be; free from the confines of time’s framework, and far greater than eternity’s semantic denotation.

There, in that ageless realm, we will meet our creator; and it will tell us without words, in a way that surpasses all known methods of communication, the knowledge and truth of all things. Upon hearing this truth, we’ll recognize it as so. It will be something so simple—so familiar—yet so unexpectedly obvious. I’m speaking of course, of the meaning of creation; of life.

This is, and always has been, the plan and final destination for humanity: Our reconciliation with the truth, and our return to our spiritual, origin realm.

i feel like florida, cali and texas all get a bad rep because of the 1% of wackos in the state, meanwhile these 3 states make up over a quarter of the US population. there are cool places and good people everywhere.

Yeah most likely. I just think for California, the biggest problem facing the state is infrastructure and the homeless. Cant finish a project for shit and believes giving the homeless more drugs is the answer when that money could go towards quality rehab centers like what is implemented in Portugal. They have drugs legal, but the rehab system in that country is insanely developed and well thought out. Also, I really don't understand the talking point that California is offering healthcare to illegal immigrants. I say talking point because I didn't take the time to do my due diligence and research, but from the outside, it doesn't seem like a good use of tax dollars even when the state government gets more than plenty.

I honestly dont get why we in the United States care so much for problems abroad when there are copious amounts of problems at home. Lahiana in Hawaii is still a burn pit. Our inner cities are on the brink of collapse. Produce and grocery prices are sky high compared to other countries around the world. I get it can be an important matter, but conflict in the middle east has been going on for thousands of years. Same with Africa, but having other countries draw up new borders will obviously not help in the slightest.

Not saying it isnt. As a landscape photographer on the side, id be lying if I didn't say most of my trips were to be planned in the state. From the redwoods, Yosemite, death valley, and the coast(big sur/la jolla etc) it sure is a cool state. Just wish those at the top saw the same.

I already ended this thread with my explanation.

Inflation, diversity politics, war, hunger—who cares. Aliens are coming to wreck our shit anyways, all of our struggles are sort of hilarious in the grand scheme of things.

The best we can hope for is a fascist transvestite state, where sex change operations will be mandatory from birth. Our school curriculums will be strictly gender politics, and the rainbow flag will replace the American flag.

It’ll be sweet, because all of this will be happening in the country with the most powerful military and largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. Our president will be a tranny identifying with Zi/Zyr pronouns, and Zi will be really sensitive about it. So in the event that Putin incorrectly uses Zi’s pronouns, Zi will nuke the shit out of Russia and there will be world peace. North Korea, Iran, and other rogue, nuclearized states will back down out of fear.


So whether it’s by aliens, or a totalitarian tranny world regime, peace and security are coming.

God’s plan is sometimes hard to understand, but his good will always triumphs in the end.

I think a good place to start would be reversing citizens united, reforming campaign finance law to limit corporate donations, and shortening the length you can campaign to 6 months. Kinda crazy that we have blatant legal corruption in politics thats just branded as "lobbying."

Yeah, apart from citizens united, I think there is a lot going on today that was passed in the 80s that were just now seeing the impacts such as being faced currently with a politically divided media landscape because certain laws no longer require the media to focus on all perspectives when bringing up an issue. Instead the media landscape today requires we either delve into multiple sources to get a grasp of the actual situation, or simply get trapped by a so called media induced echo chamber which only works to cause more harm to how people perceive the world of politics. Nowadays it just seems as though more people than ever(excluding the civil rights movement and civil war) have their hands and fists aimed at each other simply because they like or dislike one thing or another that the other disagrees with them on.
