Today is July 4th, which puts us at – let’s see if I get the MAFF right – the 249th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. That is a special date, for many reasons. Some are personal – for instance, it was the date of my grandparents’ wedding anniversary. They were married for, as I recall, 64 years, until my grandmother died. It is also the birthday of a good friend’s wife – they happen to be my neighbours, in fact.
But, for me, personally, this is simply the American Independence Day. That is how I celebrated it while I lived there, and that is how I choose to remember it now.
It was the birthday of the greatest country on Earth. And I was always proud to celebrate it as such.
Unfortunately, especially for the last 8 years or so, July 4th has been a bittersweet date. It commemorates the birth of what used to be the world’s greatest nation. I had the privilege and honour of living in that nation as a foreigner for almost 12 years, and I will always be grateful for that opportunity. I lived there in peace, under the rule of American law, and I prospered under it for all of that time.
Nonetheless, I could see within a few years of my arrival that things were going horribly wrong for the USA.
I lived there under the misbegotten – and, in my opinion, illegitimate – reign of Odumbass the Lightworker. I saw the harm he wrought upon the Constitution and the body politic, firsthand. Under his time as President, America became a much darker place. Its institutions, already creaking and corrupt, became thoroughly irredeemable. The national debt exploded. Crisis followed catastrophe with almost monotonous regularity. It was a very, very difficult time in American history – and one that, in hindsight, was probably inevitable.
For it was obvious by then that America had strayed too far from its roots to be brought back. And that was a hard realisation for me. I only really came to it after I left the FUSA for good, after watching the first two years of the God-Emperor’s first Administration. He had solid ideas to begin with, but his narcissism, ego, and short attention span – combined with the sheer hatred and power of an entire government system arrayed against him – ensured his failure.
Today, the problems have gotten so bad that I no longer think the FUSA can be saved. This is a deeply painful thing to write, given my very positive experiences of living in the US for so long, and given my high regard for the American people – their parochialism, provincialism, and “garrulous patriotism” aside. I have always wished America, and Americans, well, but it is clear now that their system – glorious as it was – cannot be saved.
It cannot be brought back without colossal suffering, which Americans are – for now – unable or unwilling to inflict upon themselves and each other.
And that is before we get to the fact that many (not all) “Americans” no longer even seem to understand what it means to be “American” in the first place. There is no fixed set of values, no blood relationship, no posterity from the Founding Fathers and Sons of the American Revolution, no clear identity, that defines what it means to be “American” – which means, by default, there is nothing to defend.
So, as we close in on the bisesquicentennial, as I think it is called, all I can say is: it was great while it lasted.
America has everything it needs to be a great nation once again – and I think that one of the nations that arises from the ashes of what used to be the United States of America, once the inevitable, and horrifying, Second Civil War passes, will be truly great. It will be so because it will be majority White and Christian, and will have no truck with the evil ideologies that brought America low in the first place.
But it will take an awful lot of bloodshed, riots, and revolution, before that can happen.
Anyway, happy Independence Day to all y’all – or, if you happen to be from PommieBastardLande:
Given that video, it is probably a very GOOD Thing you lot broke away from the Limeys. Just LOOK at the state of those teeth!
Right, now let us get to the fireworks. This here is Darcy Del Rey, age unknown but probably in her mid- to late-twenties, from somewhere in the FUSA. She is an OnlyFools thot, and she does have a tattoo, though a small one. She also claims to be a redhead, but rather obviously, she is not.
In many ways, she is a sign of all that is wrong with America:
Happy Friday and weekend, lads.

America to be perfectly blunt hasn’t had a real connection to the founding fathers since Lincoln’s day. In an odd way the USA resembles China, instead of purely dynastic succession though we have ideological succession.
Founding fathers (1770s to 1860) > Lincoln’s USA (1860 to 1965) > DIE America (1965 to present). Not saying we won’t have a civil war (or warlordism) scenario but it is possible that America may have another ideological succession instead of collapsing.
The problem with America is at least half of Americans aren’t American, and that can’t change because the current rulers were the ones who put them there. We’re not a country with both hands tied behind our backs, rather we’re lashed to a tree during a hurricane. Loose those binds and things will change, but America already had one Civil War and we’re still a little sore over it and apprehensious to repeat it.
Remember that the Roman Empire slogged along for a long time after it collapsed. It was no longer great, but it took a long time for “Rome” to devolve into “Italy”. The USA will continue to exist for aong time, but it will never be the supernova it once was. To watch its fall within my lifetime grieves me greatly.
