How volatile is the USA these days? - Amerifag opinions wanted!

[Croan Çhiollee]

I have a cousin who is married to an American and living in San Diego (lol commiefornia, I know), and they are considering moving to Australia because they feel the political situation in the US is going bad.
So, my American brethren; how is the situation there these days? Are they overreacting?
American dude is a fire-fighter, so he's probably not seeing the best of society either, but surely it's not time to start emigrating...

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

I myself don't think it's getting that bad. This country has been through a lot worse.

 

[The Pink Panther]

He's overreacting.

The nigga lives in San Diego, California, home of lefties that are all into sensationalized media with dramatizes everything and makes everything out to be scarier than it really is. Life is fine and most wouldn't really have it any other way.

Most people are reasonable. It's the loud retards that make the news. The firefighter guy doesn't know how good he has it. He is living in a country where he can profit from selling holocaust denial literature, smoke dank nugs and own guns. This dumb motherfucker wants to move to a former penal colony that banned small titted porn. It's only marginally less retarded than having a Libertarian move to Somalia so he can get away from all those pesky taxes and formalized governments.

Having seen the tail end of Communism in Eastern Europe; Americans are still too content to riot en masse. People have jobs and shit to lose and most won't riot over stupid shit. I wouldn't worry about any kind of serious political instability unless people start seriously starving. That's why they keep people so fat here. Gives the government some breathing room in case shit hits the fan.

 

[MG 620]

Good point. People like the Slatons and ALR, and many like them, are content as long as they get their processed food.

Politics is retarded everywhere in the world today.

Or maybe they're just natural suckers. During this decade or so, through rioting, people in the Arab world, Latin America and parts of Europe, achieve more in a few months than Americans did in many decades through voting.

The California virus has infected their brains, I'm sorry but there's only one thing to do.

Politics is exceptional everywhere in the world today.

And I'd argue that in a broad strokes manner your average American has more than any one of those people and has been in a better position then that at which any of these people have arrived at through rioting. Why would you risk your health and freedom when things are already good?

California spawned the Zodiac killer, niggers calling themselves the Zebra Killer that were literality killing whitey in the streets and a group of imbeciles following a crazy nigger around that killed a minor politician, kidnapped a rich publisher's daughter and made her rob banks with them. Then there was the crazy white dude who gathered a bunch of dumb niggers in Guyana, killed a congressman who went to investigate and made meme history by giving his followers kool aid spiked with cyanide. Later on a disgruntled former fireman killed the Mayor of SF and his gay best friend but was acquitted because he ate too many Twinkies.

All his happened in California in the 1970s before you were born but it's still there and people today act like those events didn't occur if they remember them at all. California has always been a place full of insane loons that go there from all over the country as if answering the call of Cthulhu; it's been this way for decades. There are plenty of places in the USA your cousin could move to if they just want to live in relative tranquility. California is one state out of fifty.

If they do move to Australia chances are they'll get attacked by an angry kangaroo or one of those venomous spiders that crawl into random homes while an emu destroys their lawn. No place is perfect.

In the US people might kill you politically while you're shopping at walmart, but in Australia you have to be careful and check every tree you walk under for dropbears.

Drop bears are less likely to attack people with Australian accents, according to experts at the University of Tasmania

Tell your friend to move to a nice rural area in America and tell them not to look at their phone too much and enjoy the outdoors. Prolonged use of smartphones is making people fuckin dumb and it doesn't help that the media sensationalize everything. Also freedom of speech still exists for now so, take advantage of that.

 

[Papa Adolfo's Take'n'Bake]

They're exceptionally exceptional. The only people really flipping out and thinking SHTF is here are bourgeois, sheltered suburbanites that think mean words are violence and that anyone is actually willing to let bullets fly over an election. The political situation is a shitshow because swiftboating and mudslinging over social issues now takes precedence over the discussion of political infrastructure in the US federal government. It's more of a "neglecting serious issues for sensationalism" situation, and a Northern Ireland situation sure as shit is not in the works.

Of course his environment will feel volatile if he mostly hangs out in places that are on fire.

I kid, but America is currently a very inhospitable place if your parents weren’t born there or your skin is at least a shade darker than wonder bread.

People instinctually seek comfort and convenience over almost anything else. For those peasants an uprising may very likely upgrade the comfortableness of their lives, while the opposite is more likely for Americans who would be gambling with their already immense comfort.

 

[Angry Shoes]

If you watch mainstream news you'll think we're on the verge of a civil war. However, everyone is too comfy and complacent to start any form of a revolution.

 

[mindlessobserver]

It's not volatile at all outside the insane fever dreams of far lefties

 

[PonelessBizza]

America isn't violent enough

 

[Black Waltz]

It's not that bad here tbh, people here are fucking stupid tho

 

[Canaan]

it isn't bad except everywhere inside of cities, i travel a lot and i see a ton of communist stickers and tents propping up giving out political manifestos, and people are legitimately talking about slavery reparations in leftist circles. its very strange because going through rural areas are diametrically different because their populations are almost entirely white, while across the board cities are getting a lot more foreign immigration, more non-english speaking neighborhoods, etc.

its not SO bad unless you're in a 50 percent white city like me, but its clearly the start of something bad. once immigration in 2050 surpasses whites in population in the united states things will really pop off.

that being said moving out of your country now for that reason makes you dumb faggot without any national identity lol

The mainstream media makes money by creating hyberbolic sensationalist articles. Anyone who reads too much of it will feel dread and pessimism. You're going off the anecdotes of two people who clearly have an exposure bias. Aside from extremist vocal minorities, the country is by and large fine. You should tell them to move to a suburban or rural area and to get off their phones.
