Attached to the image is this statement; "just a generation ago no one doubted the superiority or power of the United States, and everything was objectively better." The title of the thread is "Can America be saved?"
I collected a number of responses that I found interesting. Largely because I think they help give a sense of how "red-pilled" people feel not just in the USA but also what people think about the USA in other countries. Some of these comments are not direct quotes due to a need to edit language.
Responses to the question, "Can America be Saved?":
"No."
"Bush the Second had everything in the palm of his hand and could have made the World a wonderful place but instead his handlers flushed it all down the toilet."
"Only if it collapses first. Then it can be reorganized into its original purpose of being Western Europe."
"If this picture was taken modern day theyd all be literal satanic and the flag would be on fire"
"No.
It must be reborn after collapse."
"almost everyone of these women featured in this photo have hit the wall bad"
"No. It's over."
"No. The United States Of America is Mystery Babylon, The Great Whore that sit upon many water.
She was judged to be destroyed in 1 day, 1 hour, for her sins are great, and so is the Lord that judge her."
"No, but individual Americans can."
"i'm not sure in 2022 you can really say the commies lost.
their destabilization and demoralization campaign has worked a treat to destroy and subvert the west."
"America is unironically over. The name will be changed within a generation; all references to before the name change will be outlawed unless they are discussing how Revolutionary Heroes gloriously defeated the American Reich and "deported" all of the American Nazis to Hell."
"Absolutely not. America is dead. The promise it had, the ideals, the brave and adventurous spirit. All destroyed. It will morph into something else, or balkanize. But thanks to traitorous scum in our government and intelligence agencies. The social contract has been destroyed. It's a shame, but it isn't worth saving at this point. The only question is how many millions of dead is the deep state willing to sacrifice to continue the charade."
"The only way out is turn off our devices and break the addiction.
ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH."
"9/11 was the planned event that triggered our downfall. Covid was the 2nd hit. Tomorrow is the 23rd? I hope its the opportunity to take our nation back."
"How quickly one freakin democrat president can mess so much of our status quo up so quick"
"America can only be saved if the mass immigration is stopped and reverse. If not, then no. The collapse is inevitable. America will look like the kind of place the immigrants made in their own homelands."
"No. And why would you want to save it anyway?"
"The problem is that all of America's old ideals have led to this. Therefore, only a complete collapse which disabuses everyone of these ideals will change anything."
"Yeah, um, hate to break it to you, but America is an immigrant nation. Everyone except the indians and a few Mexicans is from somewhere else. For instance, most of New York was built by the Irish and the Cherokee."
"European immigrants made America great because they made it look like Europe. Non-European immigrants have made America **** because they make it look like their homelands."
"No, it's being hollowed out unless something drastic happens. You literally had a small state worth of foreigners just walk in."
"Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise bc it’s true, even South Park admitted this in Goobacks before they sold out. The entire world was built by White Christian Men and this is an irrefutable fact"
"I'm sitting on the hood of my 64 Corvette drinking a cold Bud in my quiet garage on a residential street with the kids playing outside and I couldn't want for anything more."
"There is a difference between building a civilization, and being a parasitic leech to a greater society."
"Mass immigration killed america"
"The only way forward I see is if it splits up into individual autonomous communities so that everyone can see the hell that leftism brings upon its own."
"One thing is for sure, Americans really like eachother. They will pull over and help you fix a flat, throw you a beer on your Waverunner, pull you out of a mud bog, give you food and blankets when your house burns down.
Americans take care of eachother."
"America are refugees. We're all here from somewhere else fleeing tyrannical governments. Now that we're here, we've formed our own."
"I’m not even a fan of this movie, but this image really got to me.
At some point, we became nihilistic to an unhealthy degree. Maybe 9/11 broke the American spirit irreparably, but there’s no turning back.
I think another VERY telling sign is that comedians no longer do political humor in good fun. Almost as if there’s nothing funny about the desiccated husk of a once mighty empire.
It’s so depressing."
This comment was marked as coming from a user in Japan:
"It is but a historical (or seasonal cycle.)
Look at 1920-30s.
After a victory over the Central Power, America was not enjoying its triumph. But a socio political divide and a massive economic hardship.
Sounds familiar?
It's 1840-50s.
Triumphant over Mexican war, but American entered an age of chaos. Politics became mean, immigration higher than ever. Industrialization destabilized communities.
Sounds familiar?
It's 1740s. Due to Great Awakening, the youth of colonists became conscious and active. Discontent over the corrupt and tyrannical government grew.
Sounds familiar?
It's 1990s. Soviets collapsed. Everyone evisioned a bright future. However, America is met with various societal problems, politically divided, and challenged by the Chinese.
Sounds familiar?
America is standing at a turning point. It is imperative that Americans prepare for the next crisis. WW2, Civil war, War of independence. What will the crisis be next? I cannot acertain but I can tell for sure it is looming.
If the American people still have the resolve and courage, they will endure, and rise again like a Phoenix."
There were a lot of of other replies. Many were images relating to classic Americana. Many were replies a bit too racist to share but on the same tone of the replies shared here carrying the same message of "it's over, a refresh/rebirth is needed".
Jacob 5: 41-43 wrote: And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept, and said unto the servant: What could I have done more for my vineyard?
Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted. And now these which have once brought forth good fruit have also become corrupted; and now all the trees of my vineyard are good for nothing save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.
And behold this last, whose branch hath withered away, I did plant in a good spot of ground; yea, even that which was choice unto me above all other parts of the land of my vineyard.
