"America Collapsing" is what I hope for every month.

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

American, with vested material interest in the status quo.

It can't fucking happen fast enough for me to be happy.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 62 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't think any of this will be enough to collapse America unfortunately. Nothing ever happens kitty-cri-potato

[–] miz@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

it's gonna be like letting air out of leaky pool float

the pool is filled with blood

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Our position as the international hegemon is definitely in decline, but yeah outright collapse doesn't seem likely.

Look at Britain; just a century ago they were in the position we are in now. They're no longer at the head of global empire, but all their political structures and institutions still exist today prettymuch unchanged.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think Britain was propped up by the US and the rest of the EU. They severed their connection to the EU which has already massively backfired, and the US won't bail out the UK anymore if the US is also collapsing

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

INB4 gammons have the bright idea to beg the US to make them the 51st state.

MFW we’re literal communists and we probably care more about the well-being of this country than its so-called ‘patriots’.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

Bernie was the compromise. No more half measures. The world is ending and only we can stop it.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

The wine cave liberals really, really enjoy death and suffering, especially if they can watch it on their screens. It is like their Prestige TV treats, but authentic. Authenticity is very valuable to the bored idle rich. libbing-out 🍷 clink 🍷 maybe-later-honey

Probably? That's a guarantee

mr xi, my country yearns for reverse-cloud-seeding, please send your gay-frog-chemical equipped chengdu j-20

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I can only find info on hurricane ivan, and that’s not supposed to hit the us. What are the other ones?

Jesus Christ there's a giant centipede in the middle of the Atlantic no wonder folks are freaking out

[–] Lurker123@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The size of the centipede is distorted by Mercator projection, it’s not that big, don’t worry.

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

It eats the other sea leviathans, so it's good to let it skitter around untroubled.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

And yet the government insists on sending more money to Israel, instead of doing the sensible thing with the money: Building giant mechs to fight the centipede in the Atlantic before it reaches the coast

What if we just ended America here, before the election? It could happen.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

This is what happens when you refuse to vote

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what's that about the prolapsed labor battles?

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yea we heard about the strike just not about the part where their buttholes were dropping out.

And now an existential war of ideologies in the middle east

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

3-4 more hurricanes

Where’s that from?

[–] egg1918@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Usually the ocean

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

clickbait bullshit

there are several named storms in the Atlantic rn (Ivan, Joyce, & Kirk), none of which are expected to hit the continental US

there's a depression forming in the gulf that won't be a hurricane but could dump an unfortunate amount of rain on all the areas hit by Helene

there's another depression forming off the eastern coast of Africa that is likely to turn into Tropical Storm Leslie, but it's gonna take a few days to a week to see if that happens and how she decides to move across the ocean

Collapse faster

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago
[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I’ll bet they don’t get anything worse than Helene this season but this strike is pretty unbelievable
