Perhaps, perhaps not. According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.the-spearhead.com/2010/01/14/john-bagot-glubb/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;John Bagot Glubb&lt;/a&gt; (props to Charles Martel for that excellent piece):

&lt;blockquote&gt;The people of the great nations of the past seem normally to have imagined that their pre-eminence would last forever. Rome appeared to its citizens to be destined for all time to be the mistress of the world. The Abbasid Khalifs of Baghdad declared that God had appointed them to rule mankind until the day of judgement. Seventy years ago, many people in Britain believed that the empire would endure for ever&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Things will never get as bad as people think they will.  This recession will hurt, but the only result will be a more totalitarian government.  And America, even after a big recession, is still plenty rich to oppress its people for decades to come.

Hopefully a great leader will come along to save this government, but its highly unlikely.</description>

If the US wants to be exclusive and wallow on their dirt, fine for me. But a Frontier rule set based exclusively in whatever there&#039;s a war or not (also seen in WWII) AND deporting the families of inmigrant soldiers is a major dick move.

You need to see the pictures, now that&#039;s deppresing.</description>

		<description>Agreed that R0bots are a bad sci-fi fantasy. Also, we ARE cutting our defense budget. Gutting it more accurately. China is challenging us for control of the Western Pacific, they have about 24 million men who will never have wives without foreign conquest. Cheap diesel subs with ultra quiet new-generation outfits are aircraft carrier killers.

Nor are nukes &quot;obsolete.&quot; They certainly can be used to wipe out/decapitate political/cultural leadership, in a lightning strike. Particularly if done by a non-state or quasi state group, like AQ or the Taliban. They only need, after all, to &quot;borrow&quot; the nukes. Most victim societies will pay up, lacking any ability to retaliate or defend against further attacks. [Obama has ordered a unilateral nuclear disarmament, currently the Pentagon is fighting this.]

For example, factions within Pakistan could lend AQ a nuke to wipe out Copenhagen over Mo-toons. In that case, Denmark ceases to exist as a nation, and is ruled by Muslim immigrants as a Muslim nation.

Most of the surviving women would welcome traditional polygamy and dominant men even if they end up in a harem.

Meanwhile, you see angry White guys ages 22-55, who went from bottle service at clubs or poker nights with the boys, to nothing, and can&#039;t find anything either in Obama&#039;s world. With women getting taxed hard and White women comparitively getting the shaft, tax-wise. Being last in the patronage line. This is why women voted only 4% for Coakley and Unions barely favored her.

THAT IS A HUGE SHIFT.

There is not any more money for the Welfare System. Not any more margin for national defense. Imagine crotch-bombers dropping airliners on major US cities every week. Or Bombay style fire teams through malls and schools and sports stadiums. There is no more &quot;give&quot; in the system, and men are fed up. White women, too.

Nor are people going to go off the Grid to live like Ted Kcyzinski (sp?)

What you will get is some figure, good or bad, who is a man on a white horse. Offering the tried and true method of trusting your neighbor: by ethno-state loyalty.

What made America &quot;different&quot; was its margin -- economic growth and the frontier offering a multi-ethnic state (Anglo, Celtic, African) with a relatively small government not controlling everything in life. That&#039;s now gone, spent away. It is worth noting that FDR deported every Mexican he could find and kept Blacks out of the New Deal. Its why despite his failure to fix the Great Depression, he kept getting re-elected.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;J. Durden January 20, 2010 at 05:15

   Iâ€™m in one of the most technologically advanced and demanding job specialties in the Marine Corps, for instance, and most of the guys I know who enlisted are so pissed off at the Marine Corps (and for some, America) that they certainly not going to re-enlist. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

A wise warrior cannot fight both the enemy targeted by his commanders, then fight the commanders as well.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...less and less quality people are seeing enlistment as a wise choice. (Older generations seem to have a hard time gauging the extent of this, and why it is happening.) &lt;/blockquote&gt;

They still have that finest of quality:  loyalty.
They don&#039;t wish to appear as betraying the formerly great.  
Reality is a bitch.
Reality is ugly.  Often painful.

Roman Legions once were the epitome.  Once.
Today, they are a mere memory of a faded glory.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I am going to take a wild guess and say you have no experience with either robotics or warfare.&lt;/em&gt;
I used to work as a sw engineer in robotics development (although for production, not warfare) and am married to an electrical engineer, so I have a bit of experience and knowledge in the subject.

The problems with robots are many:

1) As J explained above, robots have to be built and maintained. You can build robots to do that, but somebody has to build THOSE robots, and so on. At some point, you need humans designing, building, and maintaining robots. In our manufacturing division, there weren&#039;t many humans involved (highly robotic), but our research and design facility grew at a faster rate. Every robot resulted in 5 or 6 new engineers, which is why the company grew exponentially at the same time as automating the production line.

2) In order to do that, you&#039;d have to convince the best engineering minds in America (largely men) that human males are irrelevant for protection and production purposes and they should create artificial beings to take over that function. In other words, &lt;strong&gt;you&#039;d have to convince men to make men reproductively irrelevant&lt;/strong&gt;. The day that happens is the day we can pack up the human race and go home.

3) The robots would occasionally go bonkers and start killing the people they were meant to protect. Yes they would. Anyone who has worked in manufacturing and development can tell you that there&#039;s always going to be a few crap editions of any production line, no matter how you tweak it (see Six Sigma). Remember that the robots would be designed by humans and therefore fallible. Most people wouldn&#039;t be willing to live with that risk.

4) The creation of those robots would involve humongous energy and resource outlays. Alone the amount of water necessary would be mind-boggling. People would have to curtail other parts of their lives to free up these resources. We can&#039;t even get people to give up SUVs and large-screen TVs.

Yes, it does. That is the point. It survives by outsourcing reproduction to non-feminist women. But we&#039;re not willing to take that anymore. They used to sugar-coat their theories and ideas in euphemisms like &quot;choice&quot; and &quot;civil rights&quot; but we&#039;re not buying it anymore.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I am going to take a wild guess and say you have no experience with either robotics or warfare.</em><br />
I used to work as a sw engineer in robotics development (although for production, not warfare) and am married to an electrical engineer, so I have a bit of experience and knowledge in the subject.</p>
<p>The problems with robots are many:</p>
<p>1) As J explained above, robots have to be built and maintained. You can build robots to do that, but somebody has to build THOSE robots, and so on. At some point, you need humans designing, building, and maintaining robots. In our manufacturing division, there weren&#8217;t many humans involved (highly robotic), but our research and design facility grew at a faster rate. Every robot resulted in 5 or 6 new engineers, which is why the company grew exponentially at the same time as automating the production line.</p>
<p>2) In order to do that, you&#8217;d have to convince the best engineering minds in America (largely men) that human males are irrelevant for protection and production purposes and they should create artificial beings to take over that function. In other words, <strong>you&#8217;d have to convince men to make men reproductively irrelevant</strong>. The day that happens is the day we can pack up the human race and go home.</p>
<p>3) The robots would occasionally go bonkers and start killing the people they were meant to protect. Yes they would. Anyone who has worked in manufacturing and development can tell you that there&#8217;s always going to be a few crap editions of any production line, no matter how you tweak it (see Six Sigma). Remember that the robots would be designed by humans and therefore fallible. Most people wouldn&#8217;t be willing to live with that risk.</p>
<p>4) The creation of those robots would involve humongous energy and resource outlays. Alone the amount of water necessary would be mind-boggling. People would have to curtail other parts of their lives to free up these resources. We can&#8217;t even get people to give up SUVs and large-screen TVs. The only people willing to make such sacrifices would be those who believe in the future of the human race, precisely the people who wouldn&#8217;t want such robots in the first place.</p>
<p>5) No system is perfect. If we made warfare so asymmetrical, it would take away other people&#8217;s concerns about killing us. They already suffer under a sense that our warfare is not proportional (they kill 3000 Americans, we wipe out their whole country). It&#8217;d become a case of &#8220;all&#8217;s fair&#8230;&#8221;<br />
As our population reduces it also becomes more concentrated, thereby increasing the benefit of biological, chemical, or nuclear warfare. Things that robots couldn&#8217;t actually protects us from very well. One of the things that has protected America all this time is its sheer size and dispersed population. If you bunched us up in the big cities on the coastlines (inevitable in a declining population), it would make us easy targets.</p>

		<description>RE: PAUL....

&quot; We may even not be permitted to be born at all.&quot;
       COUPLED WITH:
             A Womans right to chose.....
                  And , males left without a reproductive right o preserve our sex.
                      Spells eventual doom 
                          Or eventual male gender - population control. 

Modern sciences capacity to aid such chosings...

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Gender-Selection-The-Shettles-Method.html

Potentially, much...much...more grave looking future for males than I can get these CHILD LIKE, DICK-ACTIVE /  BRAIN-DEADs.  to realalized....

I have constantly harped to MRAs. ( anti-feminist-Jonny-come-latelys ) about men needing to amp up the conversation over 3 party surrogatcy/reproduction approach for males ...to no avail ...or follow up ...or disscussions ....or interest in the topic .

So when we face sex selection. - .........extinction ..........( and we will ! ) 

Do you think &quot;GAME&quot;.....will....have much meaning ? 
( Insert. denial /childlike - humor here )

Gentlemen.....all else...... is a waste of effort and time,....at this point
In your 

&quot; GAME &quot;
 
This angle , as a pursuit and focus for the young MRAs...... is a must !!!

The BabyDoom aged MRAs just don&#039;t get how serious this threat is...and...its stealth appoach....and they are your leaders on these mens websites.

Its not politics...stupid....

The real upcoming threat to males is found in...

SCIENCE......

BUT....carry on as you were....( 40 years behind the feminist curve )

&quot; and then....they came for me....and there was no left....&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Itâ€™s a possibility. Remember that technological advances can be true game-changers. Robotics as a discipline is humming along, and the military is actively engaged in developing robotic â€œsoldierâ€ type weapons platforms (they donâ€™t look like humans, but they act like soldiers). At some point they will be very good, and will help prevent the depopulating country from being overrun because we will have them and others will not.

...But by then weâ€™ll be running armies with The Terminator in them. Unless we dramatically cut our military spending, I do think that the Pentagon and our political class will continue to place importance on maintaining a technological edge in military terms. As a result, I suspect that our country will continue to persist for quite some time even as it changes demographically.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In order to run an army with Terminators in them, somebody needs to build and maintain those robots. I&#039;m in one of the most technologically advanced and demanding job specialties in the Marine Corps, for instance, and most of the guys I know who enlisted are so pissed off at the Marine Corps (and for some, America) that they certainly not going to re-enlist. Furthermore, less and less quality people are seeing enlistment as a wise choice. (Older generations seem to have a hard time gauging the extent of this, and why it is happening.) If society keeps punishing men (especially as men are born entirely into an abusive system which they can&#039;t understand and which only grows more wacky with each new day), they&#039;ll find no reason to build and maintain that army of Terminators. I like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.the-spearhead.com/2010/01/14/john-bagot-glubb/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;John Bagot Glubb article&lt;/a&gt;/quote on this: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity. &lt;strong&gt;The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
