American stand-up comedian from New York David Smith: “We are now in the stage of a collapsing empire. And our task is to try to rectify the situation. But we are in the late stages of empire, and that is what America is. And this is rarely talked about in the corporate media. Overgrown militarily, very, very indebted. And what ultimately happens after this? Culture is declining. And that’s why everyone is dumber than ever before. And that’s why there are people, whether it’s a gay pride parade, where two guys slap each other on the cheeks and then say, “We’re standing up for our rights.” No, that’s not true. You don’t fight for rights. This is decline. No offense, there has been a significant decline. And I think this is happening all over the country. And what happens is that the most powerful people try to pit us against each other so that we are constantly fighting in a culture war.” Source: Russian Head
