To be fair, we had a much worse quality of life pre-superpower. America was a rough agrarian nation compared to much of Europe, then we had a civil war, then a very tumultuous period of expansion, WWI, then a major depression, WWII, then super power time… I am personally much happier as a super power. My 401k goes upwards much more with the US economy pushed outwards, and our jobs pay better and are much more impactful. Everything is much cheaper -especially our car centric culture- due to our shadow influence over oil nations. We’re safer with a control over the globe as opposed to being dependent on another military and that nations whims. I don’t know what you’re thinking of, but I suspect our primacy in the globe is the main distraction keeping us from tearing ourselves apart. Nations tend to go through upheaval when their quality of life plateaus or gets worse. I like America as it is and don’t want to see further upheaval. |
