Hey /pol/, roughly when did America stop being great?
>>74453984
America has always been fucking shit.
>>74453984
1913 when the beast from Jeckyl island was born
>>74453984
It's been a downward spiral since the 60s.
>>74453984
Anytime a left winger was the prez.
>>74453984
Sometime around 1860
>2001, September 11

>It's been a downward spiral since the 60s.
Yeah, I hate computers and cell phones and life-saving medicine and laws that prevent companies dumping cancer-causing shit into our water supply.
>>74453984
Right around the time we saved the Jews.
>>74453984
The downfall started in the late 60s. It stopped being great when Johnny Carson went off the air, shortly after the end of the cold war.
>>74453984
1916 or 1933
Pick your poison, but both ways its the merchant.
I'd say it started in the late 60s but didn't get really too noticeable until around the late 80s and by September 11,2001 everyone knew shit was different.

For a long time, anon. We just didn't realize it until it was too late.

Use a list with comnas so you don't sound so retarded.
Society has degenerated socially and politically, technology has nothing to do with it.

1913.

America bombed pretty hard that day. Or would it be more accurate to say its greatness took a nosedive?
9/11 was a huge turning point.
Late 60's I'd say, basically whenever hippies became a thing.
When we look back on this in 50 years 9/11 will be seen as the dividing mark between optimistic America (great America) and scared America
After the IRS and Social Security laws were passed in 1913.
>>74454173
this
but it didn't become too obvious until the 90s
When the jews took control of the circus....must have been 100-150 years ago.
>>74453984
Since about 1890...when Zionism was in full swing in Europe and setting it's sights on the US.

1970s
never really
but it can stop being great if current college students succeed in their plot to pussify the U.S. and make it more like Europe (a dying continent, a giant museum).
>>74455334
There were other points earlier on, but this was the breaking point.
1964
>>74454100
End of 2006
seeds were planted shortly after WWII though
When the Civil War began.
Early 60s. First the JFK assassination, Vietnam. Contniued with oil crisis and Nixon. Finished with deindustrialization and war on terror
>>74453984
I think it was int he late 60 when the niggers first rioted in Detroit. That seemed to be the beginning of the end
9/11 if we are talking as seen as great around the world. It is probably the single most important event in the last 50 years, rivaling the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in geopolitical consequences. Current migrant crisis in Europe and the reason why I've have to deal with insane leftists that grew up being fed anti-american propaganda during the Second Iraqi war is mostly the fault of rich Saudis and Busch.
A lot earlier for domestic policy. Not really knowledgeable enough. New Deal was bad, but I think the shift from a industrialized nation to post industrialized was handled pretty bad. A climate where it was more profitable to buy and merge companies then actually running them is not a good sign. I've always had great respect for Warren Buffetts style of investing.
>>74454258
Can confirm. Emotionally we were forever changed that day.
>>74456106
Things were looking very positive for the new millennium, then that shit happens. Brought in a dark age for America.
>>74455388
>current college students
The students are just the next generation, the professors started years ago.

So will Trump kill the beast?
When WW2 vets and people of that era started retiring, leaving shit to their spoiled children. It was around then Americans generally stopped giving a fuck about each other.
>>74453984
in 1917 when we broke our strict isolationism policy and got involved in European politics.

Gee man, getting involved with European politics sure fucked you up. Especially in WW2, when it prevented a total collapse.
>>74453984
when it became preoccupied with taking down russia and china. russia obciously seen as a major threat in the past and china simply wasnt going to be allowed to be communist and more recently china a major threat and russia seen as a major threat
its pathetic. but america is overly concerned with appearances and bragging rights so this cant be helped
1913
>>74453984
1974
Late 80s with oscillating periods of shit between then and the 60's
>>74453984
probably late 80s but the 90s were good too. 2001 9/11 happened and everything went to shit because everybody started panicking and questioning our government, then a bunch of loonies started bashing Republicans and the party has never been the same.
