Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?

  The rest of the world isn’t coming to help as long as we only hurt those within our borders. No one stood up to the Nazis until they started moving on other countries, even though they were already known to be committing atrocities. The rest of the world is just going to cut us off and let us burn, most of the world hates the U.S. and only plays nice for economic and military reasons.

    That’s true, but some of your dystopian ideas require the entire planet to fall into collapse and ruin. Eventually the odds are pretty good that the rest of the world (assuming we’re in decent shape ourselves) will start to provide humanitarian aide to the US.

    And stating that “most of the world hates the U.S.” is definitely a sign that you don’t quite understand how we feel about the US.

      I guess I’ve just given up and assume everyone would just cut us off. I’ve really only seen negativity twords the US, so that colors my view. There’s also my buddy from Japan who advised me to say I was Canadian when traveling internationally due to the negativity he’s seen directed at the US when he’s traveling Asia and Europe.
