- Canadian-American anthropologist Wade Davis holds a mirror up to the United States and sees a society in decline.
Davis argues that the US dominated the world in the post-WWII era because Americans came out of the war with a sense of common purpose. A vibrant, educated middle class dominated.
But now America’s social fabric is damaged, according to Wade. The top 1 percent have greater wealth than the bottom 90 percent and the promise of a decent life for a working family is shattered.
Join host Steve Clemons in a conversation that looks at today's America, inside out.
Every life born to die, every Empire rise to fall
Yes.
Most, if not all Americans can't seem to wrap their minds around that principle.
Their inflated egos, arrogance and sense of entitlement, tricks their minds into believing that the universe was built upon the foundations of America. They do not realize that the great USA is about to become a history lesson for future classroom lectures and debates. The topic will be, "The rise and fall of America"
But no Super-power ever learned any lesson from history.
@@naturerules7176 No one won't
@@maliceintended Amen!
Americans confuse entitlement with freedom. That is the problem
Corruption, Corruption.
And many don’t understand freedom when they disagree with others. Their definition of freedom is a farce . It’s neuroticism and narcissistic people who want to both abolish prison and arrest all those who refuse to vaccinate themselves because they’re scared. The vaccine works only if EVERYONE gets it? Funny how anti this vaccine for ANY REASON is considered heretical. The left is insane. My freedom to laugh and not get a shot because I have antibodies and lived through China virus means nothing to these religious atheists….

The balance of the American mind has been exploded by the quasi-religious aggression of corporate guruism-American labor has been competitively infantilized/gaslit for the last half century by the very entities which are responsible for sculpting the contours of the American dream. No wonder there is such fragmentation and malaise-crisis after crisis the gambling elite get bailed out and the average American gets stuck with the bill.
Spot on!
Spending 2bn a day to keep the military presence overseas, while having 100m people below the poverty line at home, and a middle class that cannot afford calling an ambulance, is unsustainable. Many empires have fallen for less. It's just a matter of "when"
Gimmicky nonsense
It is an empire that is constantly dividing itself. It cannot stand like this for very long.
"A house divided cannot stand."
-Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln
The nature of America is the 2 party division. It’s always been this way. People at each other’s throats for their contradicting beliefs. It is a hilariously good system for preventing extremism. Because when you have an extremist, people are already criticizing their work before they’ve had time to ruin anything. Elon musk said its a big ship with a small rudder, each extremist completely spins the wheel one way, but the ship doesn’t turn very far, then the next guy spins in the completely opposite way and the net result is the US moving straight forward. Albeit not in the most efficient manor, but it’s worth the trade-off
@@Crazyveiwingvirus But there are extremists to each side, either left or right.,...its scary to see it being preached one way or another.
@@Crazyveiwingvirus no, that's the main problem. there are 2 parties and both of them are extremists. the right almost remind me of nazis with their ''America first'' and ''let's bomb the world'' and the left is busy trying to fix issues that don't exist by creating more problems
This is why I love the internet. This discussion is a product of easy access to journalistic plurality. You do not have to ingest just one narrative. Abby Martin said it when she left RT - "don't listen to just one source".
In case of RT it was "listen russian brainwashing too".
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket yeah sure! We should listen only to CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC, BBC because they’re not mouth pieces for government and corporations 🙈🙉🙊🤭🤫😶🤐
@@vladimirseven777 the point is not to listen to any news organization be it government backed, corporate backed or even socially backed without critical thinking and perhaps at least a small amount of research before deciding on a conclusion and engraining it into your psyche!!! Just a suggestion🤷🏻♀️
By the way, you can benefit from every news organization, even if you don’t get the truth at minimum you know what lies 🤥😵💫 are being peddled for the moment!!! Keep in mind, sometimes, you may actually be hearing the truth but it doesn’t sit well with your biases, prejudices, beliefs or preferences and therefore dismiss it as pure propaganda 🤓😇
@@Who.is.kidding.who. Can I even benefit from "Flat Earth Today" news by listening them every day?
@@vladimirseven777 yes! Because then you know there are those who believe in such things and if you have evidence that dispels their beliefs, you can rest assured your own beliefs are sound and you don’t take in any silly claims or supposed facts!!! Valuable knowledge isn’t about only the things you like, believe or convenient/advantageous to your-self interests!
In order to have a more balanced and accurate view, there should be an opposing view to compare and contrast to!!!
I’ve listened to what flat earth theorists claim and I have yet to be convinced by the evidence they present so I am sticking to a round earth as the evidence is way stronger!!! But at least I gave them a chance to challenge my beliefs and didn’t dismiss their views as nonsense until they failed to give sound evidence that contradicts current scientific proofs!!! So, if they can come up with more compelling evidence, then I will be more than willing to hear it!
Canada is like living in apartment above a meth lab. That's the best thing I've heard. RIP Robin Williams
The last breath of this empire will be the fall and collapse of his Dollars.
@@trentkenzler8478 I know you would like as me, but unfortunately not them.
@@trentkenzler8478 China is in trouble with its population problem. Additionally, you cannot control people by force. That will lead to a collapse of a nation. Which would devastate the world. We don’t want China to collapse. Trade is beneficial to all because while they make the USs basic items, the US produces technology. That’s the US’s real export.
@@beppeadr So you’re right that the fall of a democracy is usually indicated by a fall in its treasury. That was before the invention of debt. There is more debt in the world than money so its kind of a fake concept at this point. The only thing that would really ruin America is if it’s people didn’t want a democracy. That’s usually what happens after a democratic treasury fails, but like I said we have this concept of debt now so...
@@Crazyveiwingvirus the dollar will collapse when other countries start dumping USD from all the money printing. What gives anything value is scarcity and the constant printing will give the dollar no value.
@@sarahjenkins7064 The USD is valued about as much as the Euro. So if the USD collapsed, the Euro is probably about to collpase...and the only other currency that would stand is the British pound. So by that logic all other currencies would have completely failed by that time.
Pandemic reveals the intelligence of the populace majority in many countries, inevitably what we see is really eye opening.
World majority outside western world used to respect western world and look up at it.
Since the pandemic, this view has changed quite a lot. It's good for some pollster to make the study.
Yet, the western world does not seem to even know the problem from within, and still busy with finger pointing/war mongering.
Not only pandemic exposed West but their war-mongering westren media. Now people across the world don't trust this media anymore it is tool of govts and corporates.
USA has Been in decline since Bush but it started with Regan who made 'anti government' popular and has only grown since then
Meanwhile he brought us trickle down economics, which benefited the rich. What Reagan did was get the rich money and the dumb ignorant hicks a hostile ideology.
Reagan screwed the nation with his trickle down economy. The wealth gap has only grown wider since. Bush screwed up the financial markets and deepened the nations deficit by starting 2 unfunded wars, one with no basis. WMD? Trump divided the nation and brought white nationalism to the forefront. Leave it to the Republicans and GOP to screw up a good thing.
So the US has been in decline for decade after decade but some how we keep declining up cause they are still well on top, people said the USSR was gonna eat our lunch and look what happened to that, Who is having a massive property bubble pop right now?????
@Ituber012 anti government type thinking was etched into the fabric of America since it's foundation.
When government gets too big, gets too intrusive there is always a backlash. That is what the R.R. era was.
Since the 1950s as the government got bigger, as it became more intrusive the quality of life of the average American has steadily gone down.
The U.S. is a declining economic power. In 1960, the U.S. accounted for 40% of the world's gdp. China's share was only 4%. Today, the U.S. share of the global gdp has dropped to 24%, a 40% decline. Meanwhile, China's share is now 17%, a 325% increase.
Using Purchasing Power Parity, China's gdp is already larger than the U.S. Despite the per capita gdp being only 1/5 of the U.S , its domestic retail market is larger than the U.S. In 2020, China's FDI was the largest in the world.
Since 2009, China has been the world's largest automotive market. It is the largest market for both BMW and Mercedes. 40% of Volkswagen's revenue is from China. GM sells more cars in China than in the U.S. China is also the largest EV market in the world. Of the 4 largest EV battery manufacturers, 2 are Chinese, BYD and CATL.
The U.S. reckless military spending, poor fiscal and monetary policies have resulted in this decline. Trade sanctions, embargoes and tariffs will not improve the economy.
Well said

The dream never existed, it was always a mirage...
The movie Idiocracy was a prescient documentary of the USA.
As an American I completely agree. Started under bush dub ya.
You’re wrong, it was inaccurate on the timeline….. 2500, well let’s just move that to 2020
Poor have 3 children per women while college graduates have 1 child per women. Imagine if the US had China's 2 child policy for unskilled workers and useless degrees how much less crime we would have, and we wouldn't need our military as a jobs program (we could just pay Indians to take over the middle-east for us).
@@aoeu256 at this kooky state of the world I’d take the uneducated any day over the miseducated / indoctrination center grads with degrees in doublespeak and wrongthink
@@user-bp6wn4qt8b yeah arguably the out-of-touch elite have done far more damage to this country through their moral bankruptcy than the poor or uneducated ever could. Do people like Tucker Carlson or economists like James Buchanan or networks like OAN really care about the health of our republic or the goodness of God?
We won't be nostalgic for many things about America if it's empire ends. And that's it right there. That's why the empire will end
Fall of America and rise of Afghanistan....
Down of human rights.
There is no reason why single-family homes with less than 2,000sqft and three rooms should cost more than $500,000...
So, YES. It is.
To me America reminds me of Ultimate Dorian grey.
@Investigative Audit I have noticed and I've seen your previous comment. The economy is in the toilet. I've been looking for houses and jobs in other countries, I'm so over it.
As a patriotic American I can say that I've seen the writing on the wall since the year 2000. American politicians are to blame, voting bills to better themselves and line their pockets rather than what's best for the American people. America is failing to an exact mirrored imagine like the Roman empire fell, there have been many documentaries on this similarity.
Its irrelevant, all countries keep printing money, interest rate is 0%
Money is being devalued, in 10yrs that same house will cost 1 million
Where do you see single family 2k sqf homes costing that? Beverly Hills?
Thanks so much for this interview!
I'm impressed that a college professor admitted to the stilted "eggshell" politics of the universities on international tv. Middle ground!? Now that's unorthodox! Good job my man.
Contrary to popular belief college professors really don’t spread those ideas. College students come in already thinking that and join organizations that reinforce those beliefs.
@@ericklajara8641 Bullshit. All of my siblings went to different colleges and had the same experience.
America can go kaput ASAP so we can finally have peace instead of endless wars👍👍🙌🙌
@Andy Dondy, I'm one of the major critics of our interventionist foreign policy but you should realize that if we go "KAPUT" as you say, in the short term peace will be the last thing you'll see.
There are a lot of nations hoping to settle scores with their neighbors but don't do so due to American pressure.
Right off the top of my head I can name 15 wars which would immediately start in such an event.
China invades Taiwan.
Turkey invades Greece.
Russia invades Ukraine, Georgia and a plethora of other nations.
Iran invades Saudi Arabia.
Serbia invades Kosovo.
These are just to name a few which would immediately happen if America went Kaput overnight.
I do however agree with you that these endless wars the United States gets into have to stop. At what point will our people realize that spending billions of dollars to slaughter a bunch of poor people around the globe doesn't really help them or us.
@@williamdavis9562The fact that there are other evil governments that are ready to settle scores doesnt mean that the US shouldnt go KAPUT. All of them will go KAPUT sooner or later because enough is enough. We want to live in PEACE.
@@b.s.m9732 I'm not saying it should or shouldn't.
What I was saying is that your assertion that peace would come immediately after is false. In your last comment you seem to acknowledge it was false as well.
Thank you.
America’s obsession with individualism, while seen by many as what has brought it a degree of success, is the millstone that prevents it from maximising its potential.
Individualism by its very definition prioritises the singular over the many.
Some would argue that individualism has enabled progress that wouldn’t otherwise been possible. However this model is responsible for the ever-declining middle class and the corresponding problems and costs of the widespread poverty caused.
Rather than addressed, these problems are normalised. Without meaningful change matters will continue to deteriorate.
The only way out is for not one, but a succession of competent, charismatic and visionary presidents who incrementally wean Americans away from excessive individualism.
It’s not to turn America into some sort of socialist state, but invoke policies that strengthen and expand the middle class.
The economic activity of the middle class fill the coffers of government and the wallets of the wealthy. Reducing poverty lessens the burden on all.
The rest of the world might mock America, but deep down would much prefer it to do well. Everyone would be much better off if it did.
Excellent discussion with broad context. Than you.
It is now American nightmare especially to Asian-Americans.

I think anyone living here who is going to be honest and realistic can see that we're in decline and have been for quite some time now.
It does seem this decline has been accelerated over the past decade.
When Bush became president.
@@b.s.m9732 Bush senior was probably when the decline started to ramp up. Clinton made it worse and then Bush II put rocket fuel on it.
When you put a mirror up to America, you see a lot of people living here who are not Americans.
And the only humans.
For people born in this country, the American dream is a myth. Your typical monolingual American takes everything for granted, self absorbed and does not appreciate anything. Even a homeless person most times a junkie has a better life than someone in another country, trying to achieve it. I came to the US with nothing, did not know the language but I did something about it. Studied, served in the military, worked hard and the fruit of all my sacrifice:
1. Financially stability for life.
2. I have everything I need and items I wanted.
3. Education.
4. Home ownership.
5. Future generations will have the same opportunity as I did, in this country.
Understanding the value of hard work and money isn't something most American don't truly understand and most take it for granted, expecting a hand out or a safety net. For anyone to say, the American dream is dead... I am living it and smiling EVERY day. You are the problem. This whole racism this and that... the man has never ever held me down. Soy Latino!
USA is the most short lived superpower country. Only 31 years of superpower and look at the stupid ego of its people😁😂. Rome was a superpower for 400 years,ummayad for 100 years,mongols for 90 years,ottoman for 150 years,Britain for 110 years

This discussion is much better than what I thought I would get when I clicked on it. Lucid Canadians vs whack gringos. It’s brilliant and spot on all around. I’m sharing with my fellow gringos.
America is a continent, not a country
I have heard this SAME argument ever since the Vietnam war. If we are declining, it certainly is taking a really long time.
thats the way it worked. im sure during the vietnam war there werent this much homelessness, crime, incarceration, mass shooting, protests. nothing like what we are seeing today.
And if the USA is declining, what does that say about the rest of the world. Are These other countries going to dominate the USA Economically & Militarily ?
China might pass the USA in certain sectors, but that does mean the USA goes to the bottle of the barrel.
I dont see the USA falling under the #2 Spot.
“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
“As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books were opened.
“Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)
“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
“I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me. I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this.
“So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth. But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever-yes, for ever and ever.’
“Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws-the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell-the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
“He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.
“‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’
“This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”
Religion has been a huge part of America’s failure to progress. Why ever care about fixing problems if the world is ending?
It took 200 years for Ottoman Empire from decline to collapse. Empires don't end like a cliff jump. They decline slowly and it might take hundreds of years. Ottomans weren't much institutionalized. America is highly engineered and it might take even longer for its eventual finish.
This one has already ended .... The rulers left their pants behind and ran like rats unable to fight a few malnourished and unkempt third world thugs ...shameless cowards ...

What's wrong with going to a nearby McDonald's to get a decent Internet connection? It is not forbidden by any statute, and it is free.
I think the point really is meant to showcase that in such a prosperous country how such basic services can be hard to come by. We are willing to spend trillions of dollars on military tech but when it comes to infrastructure we somehow don't have the budget for it. Yes its nice that you can go find local wifi but shouldn't every area you live in rather rich or poor have access to the most basic utilities (and frankly internet is now a basic need.)

Since when is a vaccine created ahead of a pandemic? They started making the vaccine in 2015 however covid did not arrive until 2020. Does that make sense?
Oh dear! You obviously know very little about the development of the vaccines. Scientists have been working with coronaviruses for around 40 years. The Covid 19 vaccine was developed from the Covid 2 and MERS vaccines. Scientists were able to begin development of the vaccine in January 2020. There is no mystery about the vaccines. You just need to read the science articles and university papers.
@Investigative Audit Just love these conspiracy theories. Good for a laugh or two. Keep them coming. Not much on TV anyway.
It’s different technology from previous vaccines. I’ve read explanations of it, but would not be able to portray it accurately. A pandemic had long been predicted by people with experience in the field, and substantial money had been used to prepare to deal with it. During the Obama administration, and possibly before, there was a government department set up to be on the alert and start proceedings early on if a new and dangerous virus was detected. On of the first things Trump did was to dismantle that department and fire the professionals.
@Investigative Audit Are you for real? Of course my information is based on reading! How else would I learn or know about anything in this world? I read primary documents in the main. Some secondary information from Lancer and Science Today. I also watch a variety of videos to gauge the depth of conspiracy theories coming out of the US. You assume that because you get your information from extreme web sites, we all fit into that catagory. We don't!

You don’t even have to be a marxist to see there’s no real contradiction between slavery and the free entreprise culture. Slavery was big business in Brazil too, but for different reasons - there wasn’t an available workforce to rely upon - , and it doesn’t show the same racist features not only because of miscegenation - as is the case in Canada too - as much as for the fact it never had an entrepreneurial culture before the european migration introduced it. It’s curious, though, to notice that the U.S. was also flooded with european migrants, and it didn’t change their stance on racism or “rugged individualismo” at all - that’s the point, by the way…
The lives of Americans really began to become systematically problematic right around the time that the first Bar Association was formed in 1878, shortly after the end of the war in 1865…and then the act of 1871 creating the separate and independently sovereign pagan capital city known as the District of the goddess Columbia along with it’s own police, complete with expanded jurisdictional privileges, just like the City of London’s Inns of Court at Chancery, The Crown Temple Bar, and then the smallest internationally recognized sovereign nation, owner of all others, including the world bankster currency lenders, governed by the Jesuit’s black pope who’s a marionette of black nobility.
The purpose of the American bar, was never a secret, as it was set forth in its first constitution, "the advancement of the “science” of jurisprudence, the promotion of the administration of justice and a uniformity of legislation throughout the country...."
That last point tells you all that you need to know, “a uniformity of legislation throughout the country.” This is a direct attack on what the civil war really WAS largely about, states rights…
Unlike the untruthful and ignorant narrative dishonestly promoted by racist leftist ideologs who narcissistically play the role of society’s victims while demanding unearned “entitlements.” When will people learn?
The fantasy known as “equity” is resultant of a people who have believed that reality is material and therefore put their faith in the materials gained by their contracting with the devil…
True wealth can never come from material gain
It is already within you.
Are you Jewish perchance my man ? Just curious cuz of your surname (I'm aware many European non Jewish folk also use it)

I don’t consider my spiritual beliefs as being from or belonging to any particular religion or set of religious beliefs.
I believe that religion is a weapon of terrorism that is used by indoctrinated and/or unscrupulous ecclesiastics..their forked tongued legal positivist acolytes in black robes (judges), as well as their ignorant dogs, the narcissistic order followers (police)..and the shallow, sold out bureaucrats they buy to manipulate and misrepresent both people and principles in hopes of further convoluting unlawful legalities, as a tool for social control..as well as being a powerful means to their most nefarious ends..in acquiring and manipulating societies by instilling fear, through violence, coercion, theft and compulsory indoctrination, into the minds of a nescient mass.
