"Deliberate ploy" would require some conscious, organized plan being orchestrated by some specific group. Who? Never mind, there is no great Machiavellian "who" and it certainly isn't organized. Take for example migration from the middle east - lots of Syrians and others have flooded into Europe. Why? Assad and the civil war? Sure. But there's a lot more to it. Consider for example that Turkey built massive dams on the Euphrates reducing flow of water into Syria by 40%, compounded by droughts, 2006-2010, crops failing, 75% of farms failing, livestock loss and so on. 300,000 rural Syrians fled to Aleppo and Damascus, huge spike in unemployment, strained infrastructure, 2011 uprising and civil war. Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon also face many similar water issues, as do Yemen and Sudan. This fuels unrest, dispute, displacement and migration. Your worldview is underinformed, and it wouldn't be so weird and conspiratorial if you actually read more. |

Trump is certainly hurrying that along nicely. He is stripping away every reason we had to be proud of America. |

Um that blame can be placed on spineless gop, remember the ones who could have prevented this, after J6? They had a chance to. And look at those same people now aiding and abetting. God bless J6 survivors. |

The American people could have prevented the party nominations of Trump and Biden simply by refusing to vote for people who shouldn't be president. 99% of the people who have voted in recent elections are to blame for this mess. Some are more to blame than others but most of us have been complicit. |

The US has been in decline for almost 50 years, but it was proceeding slowly and bumps here and there kept it from becoming too serious. That's not the case anymore. The things that made America "great" are not really the things that the left or right emphasized - although I'd argue that civil rights that ensured racial and gender equality are an exception. What made America "great," as in prosperous, was our global financial domination. Things like societal equality, transparency and relative lack of corruption in business and government, and not for nothing, but leaders who hewed to those norms were major reasons for our prosperity. All that is over. Our impending financial instability is going to be the huge stone dropping in the water that will produce even more destabilizing ripple effects. |

There’s different reasons endorsed by different groups. Jews for example prefer very diverse countries where a unified front by white people is impossible. The wealthy only care that the GDP go up so they’re happy to import demand and drive down the cost of labor. Liberals hate whites and want them replaced just for the sake of. Immigrants want to gather more power for their own ethnic bloc. The converging interests of these disparate groups is the only thing holding their coalition together; they can only survive as a political body because they hate white people and nations so much. |

Greater income disparity which leads to all sorts of issues, like violence, etc.
More Americans blaming immigrants for their countries’ demise vs. blaming greedy people/corporations. See this thread. Scientists and academics fleeing to other countries. Colleges and universities being mostly available to the UMC and UC Privatization of public services like weather forecasting, etc. |

Learn some history. People have migrated across borders forever—even before borders existed! The Romans incaddd Spain. Then the Goths. Then the Moors. The the people from the north of Spain marched down to the south of Spain annd made what used to e lots of countries into one country. And the French came through periodically and ran the place. And don’t even get me started on Italy or Britain or the United States. People move constantly, often in response to environmental stressors like droughts or famines, or political instability. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shalt be—amen. |

| There is going to be a LOT of movement as the climate continues to change. How long do we have to turn things around? Or is it already too late, and this is why billionaires are builfing bunkers while elected public officials are neglecting (or being disempowered from the ability) to stabilize a long term strategy? |
