12 Shocking Clues For What America Will Look Like When The Next Great Economic Crisis Strikes

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

The collapse of American society is accelerating.  For the moment, much of our social decay is being masked by the tremendous level of affluence that we are experiencing in aggregate.  It has been reported that 4 out of every 5 adults in the United States "struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives", but in general Americans still enjoy a debt-fueled standard of living that is far beyond what most of the rest of the world enjoys.  When that debt-fueled standard of living permanently disappears, it is going to unleash chaos unlike anything that America has ever seen before. 

Right now, economic conditions in this country are not anywhere close to where they were before 2008, but this is just the beginning.  We are in the midst of an ongoing economic collapse which is going to get much, much worse in the years ahead.  When the next major wave of the economic crisis strikes, millions of people are going to become extremely desperate.  And desperate people do desperate things.  We are already starting to see this play out all over the nation, but this is only a preview of coming attractions.  What we are going to witness in future years is going to be almost too horrible for words.

So how can I be so sure that this is going to happen?  After all, the United States didn't descend into complete and utter chaos during the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Wouldn't an economic depression unfold in a similar manner today?

Unfortunately, a lot has changed since then.  A lot more Americans were self-sufficient back in those days, and the truth is that the character of our nation has been rotting and decaying for decades.  In a previous article, I described it this way...

"We are simply not the same country that we used to be.  Americans are proud, selfish, greedy, arrogant, ungrateful, treacherous and completely addicted to entertainment and pleasure.  Our country is literally falling apart all around us, but most Americans are so plugged into entertainment that they can't even be bothered to notice what is happening."

Just last weekend, there were "mini-riots" in several U.S. states when "technical issues" caused the food stamp system to go haywire for a few hours.

What would have happened if there had been an extended outage or if the political crisis in D.C. had caused food stamps to be completely cut off at some point in November?

Let's be thankful that we did not have to find out.

But even though major food stamps riots may have been averted (at least for now), there are a whole host of other signs that America is going to become a very unstable place during the next major economic downturn.  The following are 12 shocking clues about what America will look like when the next great economic crisis strikes...

#1 Would you continue to work as a bus driver if you were stabbed while driving or if a passenger poured urine all over you?  Just check out what has been going on in Detroit lately...

After two drivers were recently stabbed and another had urine poured on her by an angry rider, union officials representing bus drivers for the city of Detroit are set to protest in front of city hall at 10 a.m. on Monday.

#2 We are starting to see a lot of "group crimes" happen all over America.  For example, just the other day in Brooklyn, New York a gang of 10 young thugs dragged a young couple out of their vehicle and brutally beat them...

Ronald Russo was dragged to the ground. Then he was punched and kicked in the head. He felt more blows all over his body, investigators said. He suffered a fractured nose, a broken septum, a blood clot and abrasions to his shoulder. He was treated and released from Beth Israel Medical Center.

 

In the midst of the attack, there was a steady chorus of epithets. “White motherf-----!” screamed the attackers, who ranged in age from 12 to 18.

 

Alanna Russo, 30, was calling 911 when the 12-year-old girl pulled the woman’s hair and threw her to the ground. The victim’s head slammed into the concrete. She suffered a black eye, bleeding and difficulty breathing, prosecutors said, but she refused medical attention.

#3 A lot of people assume that they are perfectly safe inside their own vehicles but that is not the case at all.  A story in the New York Post about a gang of bikers that ruthlessly hunted down a young family that was driving an SUV made national headlines a few weeks ago...

A gang of bikers terrorized a dad driving with his wife and baby daughter on the West Side Highway — chasing after their SUV and then dragging the man out and beating him to a pulp in front of his horrified family, authorities said.

When the bikers caught up with this family they showed the father of the baby daughter absolutely no mercy...

One biker can be seen on the video ripping off his helmet and using it to bash in Lien’s driver’s-side window.

 

The crew pummeled Lien on the pavement in front of his wife, Rosalyn Ng, and their 2-year-old daughter, police sources said.

 

Lien, who also was slashed during the melee, was rushed to Columbia University Medical Center. He needed stitches to his face and chest and had two black eyes.

#4 We are living at a time when hearts are becoming very cold.  Some Americans are becoming so desperate for money that they will do almost anything to get it.  In fact, one couple in Tennessee has actually been charged with selling their four daughters for use in sex films...

An East Tennessee couple is facing a list of charges, accused of selling their children to take part in sex films.

 

Connie Sue McCall, 40, and her husband, Ronnie Lee McCall, 61, of Johnson City have been charged by a federal grand jury.

 

Paperwork shows the couple was selling their four daughters.

 

Prosecutors say the four girls were between the ages of 5 and 16 when this happened.

Could you imagine such a thing happening in your neighborhood?

Perhaps it is happening, but you just don't know that it is going on.

#5 And it is not only older people that are having their hearts grow cold.  It is happening to young people too.  Last week, a 17-year-old girl was caught carrying around a dead baby (which she probably gave birth to) in a shopping bag in a Victoria's Secret store right in the heart of Manhattan...

The dead baby found in the teen’s shopping bag at a Victoria’s Secret store in Manhattan was born alive and then asphyxiated, police said Friday, as the macabre discovery turned toward a possible homicide case.

 

Police believe 17-year-old Tiana Rodriguez gave birth to the baby at a friend’s house and that the infant was later asphyxiated. However, the city medical examiner’s office said an autopsy was inconclusive, and more tests were needed.

Who does something like that?

#6 Sadly, a lot of mothers appear to be losing the natural affection that they should have for their children.  Just check out another incident that happened in New York City recently...

So much for no child left behind.

 

A stroller-toting mom who used her 1-year-old son as cover during a massive candy shoplifting spree at a downtown Duane Reade used the tot's pram as a battering ram when workers confronted her — and then ran away without the baby, the NYPD said.

#7 One of the clearest signs that American society is decaying is the fact that groups of kids are banding together and agreeing to commit absolutely horrible crimes.  We have seen this with the "flash mob" robberies that are plaguing many cities, but what is even worse is when groups of kids band together to commit violent acts.  In Pennsylvania recently, a group of teens cheered on attackers as they beat up a 15-year-old girl...

Speaking exclusively to CBS 3, a 15-year-old high school student, whose identity we are concealing, described a terrifying attack by a gang of at least nine teenage boys as she was leaving an Interboro High School football game Monday night.

 

The teenage victim described first being taunted by the attackers, who followed her down a neighborhood street, cursing and spitting at her, before she was repeatedly kicked and punched, suffering at least one blow to her head.

The attackers even tried to throw her in front of a passing vehicle and nobody tried to stop them...

The victim says as at least two of the teenagers pummeled her, the others cheered them on shouting, “Come on, let’s get her!” At one point, the victim says, the gang tried to throw her under the wheels of a passing car, which swerved, narrowly missing her.

What is happening to this country?

#8 We have also been hearing about a lot of "gang rapes" lately as well.  The following is an excerpt from a first-hand account from a 14-year-old girl in Missouri that experienced this type of horrible ordeal...

About five shots tall, I drank it. I guess I didn't know how badly it would mess me up. But the boys who gave it to me did.

Then it was like I fell into a dark abyss. No light anywhere. Just dark, dense silence -- and cold. That's all I could ever remember from that night. Apparently, I was there for not even an entire hour before they discarded me in the snow.

You can read the rest of her sobering story right here.

Are you starting to understand why I am so convinced that we have a major problem with our young men in America today?

Instead of raising young gentlemen, we are raising wild animals that seem to have very little self-control.

#9 And sometimes the public does not do anything to stop sexual assaults even when they happen on public streets.  In a recent incident in Athens, Ohio, not only did the public not stop a sexual assault, many actually took photos of the assault and posted them on social media websites...

Horrific photos of an alleged rape in progress have been shared on social media after crowds at a college homecoming celebration chose to take pictures and videos of the sex act rather than stopping it.

Would such a thing have happened in our country 50 years ago?

Of course not.

We need to come to grips with how far we have fallen.

#10 In America today, young kids can beat a homeless man to death and it barely even makes a blip on the news.  I'll bet hardly any of you have heard about what happened recently to a homeless man in New Jersey...

Three teenagers were in custody Saturday morning, on charges of beating a homeless man to his death in Hoboken, N.J.

 

As CBS 2’s Janelle Burrell reported, Hudson County Acting Prosecutor Gaetano T. Gregory said two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old were charged in the Sept. 10 death of Ralph Eric Santiago, 46.

What would cause 13-year-olds and 14-year-olds to behave so savagely?

Could it be because we are raising them in a society where basic morality is not taught any longer?

#11 Our young people certainly do not have much respect for the very elderly anymore either.  Instead, the elderly are looked at as "weak" and "easy prey".  Just check out what recently happened to a 70-year-old man in upstate New York...

A 70-year-old man was seriously injured early Saturday morning after being attacked outside of a 7-Eleven in Syracuse.

 

Police say James Gifford had just left the store at the intersection of Valley Drive and South Street just after 6:00 a.m. and was attacked by a group of five or six black males, according to Syracuse Police.

 

Police also said this appears to be an unprovoked incident with an innocent victim.

#12 In this day and age, it is very hard to tell who you can trust.  You might meet someone on the street and they might smile and seem very nice, but inside they may be full of all kinds of garbage.  For example, just check out what one man in the Boston area planned to do

A Boston-area man, who was planning to kidnap children, lock them in a basement dungeon, rape and eat them, should be imprisoned for at least 27 years, federal authorities said in court documents filed this week.

 

Geoffrey Portway pleaded guilty in May to distribution and possession of child pornography and solicitation to commit a crime of violence, according to court documents. He is scheduled to be sentenced on September 17.

 

“Portway has pled guilty to some of the most vile and heinous crimes known to our society,” federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing recommendation.

This is how twisted and perverted our society has become.

A lot of Americans believe that if we could just elect "the right politicians" or if we could just change our economic system or if we could just fix one particular issue that everything would be right in America again.

Unfortunately, what we are facing is not so simple.  Our problems are not just in Washington D.C. or on Wall Street.  The truth is that our biggest problem is what is going on inside of us.

America is rotting and decaying on the inside, and the next great economic crisis is going to reveal just how bad things have gotten.

Now see, here's the problem.

If you can manage to even get a gun in NYC, you're restricted to how many rounds again?

Plus you have to run around searching for an apartment, to break into, while your wife is being beaten, in order to fire off two rounds in the air, from its balcony...not feasible ;-)

You could run for a political office, and if you win, you can get overlooked in new york about not carying a gun. Laws do not limit politicians. Otherwise be a good citizen and cower in the dark and pay your taxes.

When I was growing up in NC, if there was a murder anywhere in the state, it was front page headline news. Not so much now. If anyone that you love is ever in any of the above listed scenarios, pray that a TEA Partier is nearby. Say what you will about us, we are the most likely to help in any given situation.

 What has been true forever is this.

 If you choose to CONFRONT a person or group in a public setting, you'd best be

 prepared for battle.    or worse.

 If you're not equipped to handle the heat, don't invite it.

 If you are, be ready to WIN.

 

 A pack of "yout's" black or white, is always a pack of assholes.

 

 PS . Never seems to be cops around when this crap happens. This is a well travelled and very busy spot. There should be security or police out there at all times.

Yeah, but we have foodstamps now, instead of food lines, and easy disability fraud for whent the unemployment bennies run out.  Along with the moral decay.  So when it happens, it'll be both worse, and much faster.

No soup lines means no crowds on the street to gather momentum - yet.  Guaranteed income of whatever sort amounts to the same thing.  So, when it stops, that's when TSHTF and it'll be fast due to the lack of basic human decency in most crowded populations.

Glad I defected from dense cities 30+ years back.  It's a lot different here, more like it used to be in the old days.  Most of the zombies will run out of gas, and couldn't find this place with GPS anyway.  And we already know they need electric scooters just to pick up another bag of twinkies at walmart.

Try reading a book on the subject rather than a hastily thrown together opinion piece.  I recommend The History of Violence.  America is in decline, sure, but deciding issues based on poorly thought out opinion pieces rather than thoughtful, informed debate based on statistics is a symptom, not part of the cure.  A book, you say, rather than a 2 minute editorial full of inflammatory anecdotes?  Heavens no!

Of course crime is at an all time low.

If police don't respond to 75% of calls in Detroit, are those crimes occuring? Nope! No paperwork, no bodies found, no crime.

Extrapolate that to every large city, at percentages from 10-25%, depending on size.

It's quite evident that several things went wrong here:

 

1) Prudish whelps offended by the content and context.

2) The inability to decipher the embedded code between the lines of the content to extrapolate the true nature of the context.

3) The exact zombies I refer to, those wielding weapons of mass debt-struction, are offended.

True story, today a  friend and I (both white) were walking up Broadway in Chelsea NYC, two blocks south of the Flatiron Building, around lunchtime, we stepped in to the bike lane  to cross the street and a black bike rider starting cursing very loudly calling us "white shit", "crackers in the way", "fags", etc.  so we just ignored him and changed direction, but he came after us cursing more, but almost got hit by a cab and then took off.

I see this all the time in NYC, the niggers are ready to riot.

intellectuals and elites wanted a new world. a world free from antiquated ideas, seeped in superstition, racism, taboos, stereotypes, stodgy morality, and conformity. 

to create their New World, it has been necessary to tear down all of the old institutions holding them back

religion, nationality, education, culture, gender, the family, ethics, morality

these are their enemies

and so, they have systematically worked to subvert or destroy them all.

what you are seeing is not just the naturally occurring effects of sloth, selfishness, or stupidity. these have all been leveraged as part of the plan. Ordo Ab Chao

but not to worry. the end will be well worth seeing.....for the select few who survive the process. they ends always justify the means for social engineers and eugenicists toiling to complete their Great Work.

Most of the things you listed are all bullshit, too.  Only education sets you free.  The rest is all manipulative nonsense.  Morality?  Please.  Ethics?  Sure, but only if both sides are playing by the same rules, otherwise, you're fucked.  Family is good, but mine betrayed me so I went out a created a new family.

Where is that racial healing we all 'hoped' for 5 years ago ......

But...But....I'm sure this stuff also happened in the great depression....right? Just not the 24x7 news channels back then....yah, that must be it.

I guess 60 years of divide and conquer, class envy politics is bearing fruit. Success.

The white EUnichs in Rwanda largely refused to use their guns. The could have used them when it would have made a difference, they could have used them when it would have been suicide, it makes no difference, particularly for those who came home and committed suicide anyway.

Americans don't suffer from such projectile dysfunction.

Two weeks back here in Denver (NorthEast Park Hill area) a friend of mine was riding his bike home after we all had drinks together. He was about to cross a main interesection here when a group of young men started yelling at him, so he stopped and asked if everything was okay. They proceeded to jump him, steal his bike, give him a concussion, and run off. Police cited him for public intoxication and have made no progress in finding the guy that did it.

"All that needs to said, has been said." Pallas Athena

All the American peoples (the whole of humanity needs to be educated in these matters) need to read and consider well,  'Hannah Arendt'  http://www.remember.org/eichmann/ or view the movie 'Hannah Arendt' (2012)

and try to get your minds around Totalitarianism, and Fascism.

And comprehend the hierarchal system of our accepted socio-economic system today:

The Bankers are at the top and their will is imposed on all:

by the Political lapdogs eager to feed under the Bankers Table.

But the more and most dangerous of the Bankers' servants are the Bureaucrats; these thoughtless and efficient clerks are the savage defenders of the Banker system imposed on Humanity for the past ~5,000 years. Here is the "banality of evil", a description coined by 'Hannah Arendt' in her book written upon covering the Adolf Eichmann trial.

She found that Eichmann, like most bureaucrats, was not a viscous cold hearted blood lusting mass murderer at all, but just a thoughtless bureaucrat who did what he was ordered to by his Governmental superiors, accepted no responsibility for his actions and frankly, never even considered his actions as morally and ethically wrong. Eichmann obeyed the "LAW". In fact, for the genocidal atrococities against humanity from both the Bolshevik Revolution and Nazi Germany, "nobody was responsible", and both these massive crimes against human were one in the same movements by humanity itself. Over 100 million gencided, and "Nobody was responsible."

It appears that which is playing out in the USA today is precisely the same: Your DHS has its TSA bureaucrats impose inhumane. revoluting and humiliating security measures "Where are your papers and your sex apparatus" daily on the people until it becomes accepted and routine. This ought to give you Americans a clue as to the intentions and expectations of your bureaucratic leaders. You are being prepared.

The massive unemployment in the USA makes the unemployed and their families "redundant" and dependant upon the Banking Systems for clothes, food, and shelter, which will soon be discovered to be more efficient if carried out in specially built - you guessed it "Concentration camps". Then, there will be the formal organization of all peoples into demographic categories and placed in computerized data-bases for cross checking analysis and prioritization of processing.

Is all this beginning to sound familiar. Through propaganda all peoples in these camps will be told and made to believe that they are redundant and useless eaters and for the benefit of the rest of humanity, you will accept and welcome extermination; your extermination and on behalf of your family as well. You will be do defeated and so humiliated, death will become you freedom - in the "Land of the Free". Stand up and sing your National Anthem.

This appears to be the plan; The Road to Serfdom by v. Hayek - tells of the cyclic nature of this process. Russia, China, North Korea, Germany and many other nations of peoples have undergone this process. The Aztecs slaughtered mercilessly until finally their appetites were sated. And, "Nobody was responsible." It seems that the lust for genocide is driven by "thoughtlessness" and the hierarchial system that drives our socio-economic order dominated by our Banking System dominated by a very few families. We all want to believe that those with "money" will use their "power" to save us, feed us and share with us their wealth.

No - they will not, unless there is monetary advantage, that is.

And as the socio-economic system breaks down as described above, so does the constraints of the moral and ethical fabric of the peoples; their insanity, desperation, hunger, fear, cold, hate, etc, grows into trends which in turn justifies the bureaucracy to increase their impositions, the incarcerations, the tortures, the assassinations, and the thievery against those who suffer: The Blood lust grows: but, "Nobody is Responsible".

And the Bankers and the Mercenaries of Money (the CEO's) are permitted to do anything that supports the "State" and to continue to contribute to its well-being. All acts by these Fascists become acceptable and the norm, just as hunger, homelessness; system abuse become a matter of survival; everybody joins in the fray, but "Nobody is responsible".

Man's inhumanity to man rises out of thoughtlessness.

This time around, the USA actually imported this Totalitarian, Global Communism disease from Bolshevik Russia and Nazi Germany and now it rises to fruition; the similaries are simply outstanding. The heroes of this ideological disease were Lenin and Trotsky must reverred today in the Western World, particulalry in the USA. You will find it all in the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) written like an investment strategy but actually the plan for the largest human cull and genocide in all recorded history; the elimination of ~5 Billion people, for fun and profit.

The Gulag Archipelago is a book by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn; Read about what is happening to the USA. Europe engendered this disease; it began there and Europeans embrace it as normal. Nobody is shocked; nobody believes that this will happen to them. People believe anything until it is too late. Why? Because they are not educated to believe in the atrocities continually committed by those nice men in suits that own the Banks and govern the Nations. Why? Because they are thoughtless and trusting and those men in suits, are "never" responsible, because their God is "Money" (and they write the history that is taught in the schooling systems).

But "money" is Goddless. At least, that is, what money has been transformed into.

This, that which is becoming most obvious today, was clearly obvious back in 2002 and in 2006 I declared that a Dark Age was looming nigh. That Dark Age is here and it is a repeat of the movements of the Bolsheviks starting officially in 1917 and Hitlers rise into Power in Nazi Germany. And, "Nobody is responsible"

http://verbewarp.blogspot.com.au/2006/07/global-economic-collapse-new-global.html

"The banality of evil" for which "nobody is reponsible" is today being expressed and embraced globally by all Western Nations.

And when the bureaucratic impositions begin their exterminations, the land will be filled with Judas's, and their will be no trust; just cold and stark fear; betrayal, cowardice and the necessity to kill before being killed.

http://verbewarp.blogspot.com.au/2006/03/warning-to-east.html

All I state here has been said before and is to be found in history. Nothing new here.

Ho hum

Such an ugly truth. Money is an inert tool that carries great power because of its necessity to everyone. Those who make it their God fashion a system that takes us all to hell during the period we are watching dancing with the stars. First the careless men sleep, then they adapt into monsters to accommodate the system the money god worshipers fashion for them during their slumber. The time of every man for himself is upon us.

Violence will only be a matter of scale relative to before / after collapse.

While this may be Fight Club, it will not prepare you for what is being foreshadowed here. Gang violence.

I suggest you all educate yourself on the matter. And no, military experience will not prepare you for it. It may help, but you have to understand its limitations.

To address some of the earlier comments, black on white crime is 10x white on black crime. In FY 12 (iirc) there were 8,872 handgun murders in the United States. Of those 7 out of 8 were committed by one demographic - young, black, men between the ages of 18-40.

See the FBI webpage. (the CDC sometimes makes mention as well)

Whoever said violence is coming is correct. The US gubment didn't purchase 2,700 MRAPS and 1.6 BILLION rounds of .40 HOLLOW POINT to sit in garages and ammo bunkers to leak oil and gather dust respectively. They certainly didn't purchase 2,700 MRAPS and 1.6 BILLION rounds of .40 hollow point to secure the border between the USA and Mexico or to protect us from an amphibious landing.

So yes, violence is coming.

I applaud you for bringing that to light Micheal, and pointing out that our heads have been dumped back to an animalistic barbarous state of degeneracy. The Western world has totally lost its way, even the priests are pedophiles, and 'liberal' progressive-ism has been a complete failure.

In this country we have a TV station called 'SBS', a primarily foreign-language and culture service, that portrays itself as progressive and concerned with the usual melange of progressive ideas, and they make a very big deal of pretending to be the voice of the enlightened western-mind. 

Which of course they are anything but.

At night SBS is notorious for putting to air the most foul egregious and degenerate forms of sexual deviance and abuses plus all types of foul criminal behavior, extreme violence is routine (the sort of stuff you mentioned above is actually fairly typical), corruption and general betrayal, and total absence of trust, or loyalty between people, or else its tokenistic, ad-hoc and hypocritical.

One seems to be the Trojan for the other, with 'progressives' in general, and SBS began as 100% tax-payer funded (but they now run adds as well as they wanted a stack moar money from the govt, and govie didn't give it to them, and boy did they whine about that).

I have a former friend who actually can't understand why I find porn distasteful, if not disgusting. He used to try to get me to watch his favorite new videos, and I said, nah, I really don't want to watch your best porn dude. He simply couldn't grasp that I thought there something quite wrong with it, that it had damaging implications for everyone involved.

I had another former friend who showed me some new 'stuff' he'd just bought cheap, and he eventually alludes to me that it's hot and that he can get me anything I want. I told him I didn't want any of it, but he quizzed me why, several times, so I said if we all started doing that those people will eventually come to my place, and take what's mine, and they'll do it to you as well. He said he had not once thought about that side of it.

This is why they're former friends, but cutting them off does not help, as we have a big shared problem here and doing the correct thing, not even the 'right' or 'goody-goody' thing, just the correct thing, is being continually portrayed by this sick culture and media, as deeply uncool and fundamentally stupid.

When the reverse is clearly true.

This is another reason why I don't trust 'the system', and its citizens, to do the correct thing, ever, as the degenerate permissiveness is a part of the system - it has created this mess. And it will not provide the solution, to itself.

 

Anyway, keep at it, this is a very important topic and the opposite of the "sustainable" happy world that the progressives and 'permissives', the tollerant wise-ones, claim to want, and to want to foster - when they actually do the precise reverse - playing their part in destroying any chance for a sustainable societal environment and world.

Interesting that you mention SBS, as it is (presumably) just one of many contemporary examples of deeply insiduous, faux liberal purveyors of propaganda. In the U.S., anyone who has paid attention to the PBS and NPR over the decades has witnessed an extraordinary decline in quality journalism (with rare exceptions such as Bill Moyers), and predictable, creeping capture by corporate sponsors (notably the Newshour).

Such media outlets are, however, mere microcosms of the American political system, as the great liberal savior, Obama, has wrought far more damage than the evil, though vastly more transparent Cheney administration.

It is easy to dismiss the incidents in this article as the usual random stuff gathered to prove a point they are not related to. It is hard to take the overall "temperature" of the nation to determine if the cusp of a real prolonged dark ages type decline is here. IMHO I think it could be. The "mood" of the place is like a barometer with very low readings in a high humidity high temperature environment near the coastal lowland where you live. Everywhere you look things look to be setting up wrong. I don't know how many people see it good enough to push the bureaucrats out of the way when it becomes obvious to the most daft that fascism is here. This is the chain of command; Devil>Bankster>Politician>bureaucrats>you.

I think it was no accident that they picked the Nigerian to be president and help the failure to cross the Rubicon on his watch; with him giving a big hand of course. It will naturally spin into into a race war to go with the class war and further distract the proletariat attention away from the chief architect, Satan, and his veiled and financially elevated earthly minions. The proles will never know what hit them.

Meanwhile...

Executives close a factory in some town, send all of the jobs to Communist China, put half of the town out of work, and we come up with excuses for why it's OK.

Companies/governments with pension plans loot them to enrich themselves, destroying the working man's faith in contract law, and we come up with excuses why it's OK.

Politicians sell their votes to the highest bidder, serving the interests of a moneyed few, ignoring warnings of catastrohpe, and we come up with excuses why it's OK.

I could go on.  The point is that this article is penny ante and myopic at best.  It's blaming people at the bottom of the food chain for the same destructive self-interest that is so obviously encouraged at the top.  The phrase "when in Rome" comes to mind...

It is a typically conservative ploy to think of this in terms of personal moral decay.

In the thirties there were plenty of people blaming the shiftless unemployed themselves; epithets such as bums, hobos, and vagrants abounded. But in the fifties these same good for nothing morally bankrupt were suddenly upstanding productive citizens ?!

Your are missing the point. In the thirties and in the nineteenth century, 50% of the unemployed fell back on the family farm where you could always survive without money. People were paid in cash back then, not everybody had a bank account, and nobody had a credit card. That is obviously no longer a possibility. Instead of inveighing on the need for morals we should be making plans for how to have tens of millions of penniless families survive the coming economic shock.

And this is not all you are overlooking. How many of your examples are masking black-on-white hate crimes? Policital correctness dictates that this aspect of random violence and social decay almost never comes to light.
