“The streets of Chicago and San Francisco are probably more dangerous than an Amazonian jungle.”
And there are a least a dozen American cities with higher murder rates than Chicago and dozens with higher murder rates than San Francisco.

Don’t expect civilization from a nation whose poorest people are the most obese.

Are the inner cities of most Democratic Party-controlled metropolises “civilized”?Hell no! Last week there was a murder in DC that started in a fight over McDonald'/s hot-and-sour sauce. Is that civilized?!

China went through a weak period but they're back up now.
England is now in decline and lost their empire. But they're still around.
Not sure about America. It may be more like the Roman Empire.

Just got back from several days in Portland. Throngs of drugged out, mentally ill homeless, LGBT everywhere, open drug use all over the place…. Never saw a single cop other than at the airport. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Terrible place.

But when the jungle is the source of someone’s wealth and power, it is obviously in their best interest to let it grow and flourish. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
True up to the point when people act to defend themselves and their property, then the wealthy and powerful are just skin bags full of red meat like everybody else.

Thank you for posting this, as it is a good summary of how far we have fallen, and how close to total social breakdown we just might be.

American civilization declined when we stupidly decided to allow mass non western immigration - you can’t call yourself a western country when you are filled with people named Chang, Muhammad, or Ramaswamy.

When a Democrat promises to build a Great Society, you know you’re in for trouble.

What’s your definition of Western countries?
Be careful. Many people might call your comment racist.
I get the association you made: Chang (China), Muhammad (Muslim), and Ramaswamy (Indian).
There are brilliant and “civilized” people from all over the world who have come to America and contributed greatly to our nation. Including from the countries you implied.

It's an increasingly-Godless society - that explains a good number of the behaviors, from theft, to abortion, to promoting LGBTQ+, etc.
A Godless society is a necessary precursor to the Globalist New World Order of Daniel 7:23, and the arrivals of Satan's Antichrist "political messiah" and Satan's False Prophet "religious leader".
