I tell them "I agree we've had niggers since before the constitution."

America should be nativebros and white people. Eastern Nativebros were civilized and sheeyit, just without technology, which they didn't need because the land was so perfect.

I first inquire what, specifically, they mean by the word "great." Terms must always be defined before entering into an argument. This age of Newspeak has obscured the original meaning of many words. If they persist and the matter isn't dropped, I challenge the conditions of the argument.

I explain that an argument is a waste of time, as our Weltanshauungen are impossible to reconcile. After explaining the key points of the cyclical conception of history as conceived by virtually every Traditional society - from Hesiod to the Bhagavad Gita - I dispel their notions about Progress and linear history. I explain the concept of the Age of Kali and the dominance of the Third Estate. My various and sundry allusions to ancient texts unfamiliar to the other party will serve to give me an air of gravitas.

Impressed and cowed by my patrician air and encyclopedic knowledge of the ancient sources, my opponents will bend their knees before me ("adorant", the Latin word used to describe the genuflection of the Pope before Charlemagne, an attempt to consecrate a new order of Melchezidek). But I am a merciful god. I will show them the light; and reveal that their nature if slavish. Only in bondage will they realize themselves. And so I will take them as slaves, for their benefit and my own.

I tell them that I agree with them.

We were never "great."

If we had been "great," we'd have been embroiled in warfare with all the other autistic "Great Powers."

America was never Great, it only had two modes:

1. Small but plucky backwater nation.

2. RAPE-TIER GLOBAL SUPERPOWER

K, bye.
>>
The obvious answer is the end of WWII and the few decades after, when we showed the world our strength and were the definite leading superpower. We may still be number 1, but we are falling quickly due to our infrastructure being dismantled from the inside. By "Making America Great Again", we will replace those that are damaging and exploiting this nation for personal gain. We will fix our military and show the world we have strength still.

America was great between 1945-1991. After the USSR, they had no real reason to hold power, and since they weren't an imperial power their power slowly relinquished. This is most likely why America starts wars in the Middle East - easy to bully and rally the world against and oil - so that they can still retain some of that power they once had.

Don't be an idiot. This is the decade of the second Red Scare, the Cold War, Korean War, and millions of veterans who got shellshocked in WW2 taking it out on their Boomer children. The 50's were not great. They were just not as crappy as the 40's and 30's.

Most of 20th century America seems like a fucking brilliant place to have lived, things probably went downhill since the 90s but the same shit has happened in Britain.

To anyone who brings up slavery, ask them if they seriously think slaves (or their descendants) would have experienced a better existence had they never been taken to the Americas. The answer is no. Life remaining on Africa would have entailed no civilisation, no running water, disease, starvation, violence, war, and low life expectancy.

Modern day descendants of slaves should be thankful they are living in the USA, not angry. I still can't understand the logic. Yes it was morally wrong to make them servile and slaves. But get fucking over it. Look where you are. You aren't a starving child in Africa. Hell you probably wouldn't even have been born if your great great great great granddaddy wasn't taken off of Africa.

That sounds horrible and I hate it.

But to face such hateful words, to hear them from the japanese qts I've forsaken all other women for, to be verbally harshly rejected by the Yamato Nadeshiko of my dreams...... my soul will have been long dead by the time I point the gun to my head.
