Argentina’s economic collapse plus something like the Bosnian civil war is one vision I see of America’s future.
Good point. Many Americans don’t realize it, but except in the far flung provinces like Salta, Argentina has no diversity. It’s population looks like a Southern European country that just picked up and moved halfway around the world. It looks nothing like Mexico, Brazil, etc. That cultural cohesiveness has helped it survive in the past. Additionally, the reliability of the welfare state just doesn’t exist like in the US so people have to turn to each other and to themselves to survive when things get tough.
