False. Literally all of your articles say different variants of the same thing - they employ fear in the same way used by the far right. You just reach different conclusions. America is not without problems, but the largest companies by market cap are mostly American - which employ millions of Americans. Economic inequality is an issue, social programs need enhancement, and far right extremism must be addressed, but none of that means “collapse.”

America has always had problems. You ran through history but didn’t mention times where America was in far worse shape than it is now, arguably. The civil war and everything that happened around 1968. In both eras America was in chaos but it found a way to move forward.

What you discount is innate optimism and drive, qualitative factors you ignore in any of your writing. You also ignore many empirical economic ones, including the one I mentioned here at the outset. What you’re saying has kernels of truth, but it’s quite a hyperbolic leap to say that will lead to “collapse.”
