ITT it's 1000 years in the future, America is long gone, you're a historian who has to sum up all of American history in a sentence or two

My take:
"They accomplished some cool things, but killed a lot of people doing it"

I think we will be remembered similar to the Mongols who had some ideas and policies ahead of their time but were pretty brutal people

Whats your take?

"And then they went to war."

The Americans are the new French...

that's pretty good,

what is our record right now? 230 years of war out of 240 years of existence or something

They were a society in which freedom reigned, even freedom of market. And richness were very well distributed in comparison with the other countries. And then the were not.

A Rome wannabe.

223 out of 240.

Warmongering, Capitalism, and 'Freedom'

"Another example of religious fanaticism and appeals to emotion destroying a once prosperous society"

Founded a republic on the ideals of liberty and more or less followed them. Then World War II happened and they became like every other bloated decadent empire.

>United
>States
>America

>united
>states
>America

but all three are literally true

"Another example of capitalist fanaticism and appeals to money destroying a once almost decent society"

>United
Sure kind of, maybe if you want to get a bit metaphorical you could say that there's a ideological division between left and right )even if they're really similar, compared to Europe or whatever)

>states
While they have state governments they're far from having as much liberties as they once did.

>America
USA isn't the only country in Americas.

"America had the potential to be the first utopia, centuries before we actually established one, if it weren't for the niggers and spics"

America has been a pretty benevolent nation when you compare the US to previous powers.

"America loves war" is a meme pushed by conservatives who wish America was a nation of badasses and liberals who think America is unique in having an actual military.

"United they stood, divided they fallen."

"An unfruitful experiment formed from the French Revolution, again."

"These were problems america started herself."

"Although many theories explaining the downfall of the United States exist, research has proved the main cause was a destructive economic concept called "trickle-down economics""

"fucking plebs lmao"

"Next class we will be covering the Day of the Rope and how it led to the Enlightened Era"

"They were considered the most powerful/influential nation on earth and controlled the global economy. They considered themselves to be free but were characterized by consumerism and lack of substantial cultural identity."

"The worst collection of scum and villainy to ever exist"

How could it have been a utopia when they were a bunch of lazy fucks that bought slaves to do all of their work for them?

But they are the only united states in the Americas.

>The united states of america. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Another example of a nation wasting wealth on dreams of utopia. A great system ruined.

It was afterwards when we could have made robots for every minimum wage job but didn't because niggers and spics couldn't do any other job

it wasn't great to begin with

The answer pretty much to the OP is that America will be but a tiny footnote with regards to a larger process that is globalization.

There is never going to be an "American" century like the British one.

What is the USA? A nation founded by decadent capitalist landholders on the backs of an Indian genocide. And built by African slaves.

What has the US contributed to world civilization other than the Atomic bomb and the domination of global capitalism everywhere? Please don't say enlightenment, because that's G.Britain, Germany and France. Please don't say democracy because that's entirely an Ancient Greek invention, and it's modern bastardization has nothing to do with it. It's scientists are all European or foreign born, it's philosophers a joke compared to Europe. It's society empty of all culture apart from the process of decadent consumerism and media bullshit.

What has the US of A contributed then?

Only Union
We literally call them states
Union of States in America

Funny because when the niggers and spics were a non factor, the economy was in shambles.

I think you're full of shit and you're blowing it out of your ass.

WE GOT TO THE MOON

Nope. But of course that's what you'd fall back on because you don't have any actual point. Fuck off back to /pol/

An empty achievement really, done only for show. First satellite and man on space are far more important.

The United States gained independence from Britain in 1776; gradually, its mercantile economy developed into an industrial economy, and by the mid-20th century it was a world power. By the time of the Imperial Reforms in 2032, American society had become so deformed that its Constitution was no longer capable of acting as a Constitution.

I don't get anyone who says Americans have no culture. Even discounting US movies and television the US has a long history of first class writers and philosophers stretching back to the early 19th century. Also, do note that the US sweeps the Nobel Prizes in science and has produced an astounding amount of inventions and scientific advancements within two centuries.

America's ultimate achievement was the ending of two world wars and the outlasting of its communist rival. After this final victory, American policy turned inwards and its power slowly faded away.

Mass culture is not culture senpai


Do you think people in two thousand years will remember KFC and McDonalds? Star wars, ACDC?

I imagine the US will be viewed as similar to the Roman Republic and Empire, as it shares multiple similarities. Thomas Madden's Empires Of Trust is a good overview.

You're like the people who say potato chips prove USA has culture because it's unique cuisine

>Mass culture is not culture senpai
Why not?
>remember
That's got nothing to do with culture.
It's obvious that you know nothing about America beyond "KFC and McDonalds...Star wars." AC/DC are fucking Australian, you faggot.

yeah like minimum wage = slavery

Why wouldn't they?

What about Mark Twain? Truman Capote? Tennessee Williams? Ernest Hemingway?

Given the US/Rome similarities it could be very possible that a continuation of some sort could still exist.

Better than the euro shitholes

>ACDC

lol not even American.

But I would argue that its debatable how "American" African-American music was up until rock&roll, since it was pretty much formed at the edges of American society, and became accepted only when it could be distributed into the mass market under white artists.

>formed from the French Revolution
I must be misunderstanding.
Our revolution was before the French one.

Culture is created to establish beauty, innovation, true art.

Mass culture is just pandering to the ignorant, uneducated lowest common denominators, and that is what American culture is

"Went from a small nation of farmers to one of the most powerful nations in history in a mere 2 centuries, revolutionized and helped pioneer much of the modern world as well as set the foundations for modern globalism, much like a modern day Rome. It's collapse singled the end of an era and the coming of the 2nd great Dark age."

>Culture is created to establish beauty, innovation, true art

Germanics have no culture then?

This is honestly a terrible post.
Culture is created spontaneously. It isn't 'about' art or anything, it's in every product of a society. Your European toilet is a product of European culture. It's honestly impossible to find a society without culture.
>and that is what American culture is
Yeah, those Mormons love letting the lowest common denominators into their temples.

Hello Hitler, nice to see you're still kicking. While you listen to music inspired by american musicians, trade in a money system pioneered by americans, and enjoy a republic modeled off the American version, using the Internet, an American invention, built with parts designed in the state of California, within the United States, tell me how much of a "joke" America is.

>of an Indian genocide. And built by African slaves.
Injuns were killed by disease, mainly, and some black unpaid farmers didn't "build" the nation.

> It's honestly impossible to find a society without culture.
Actually it is, the amerindians were one of those societies for example.
Culture is the opposite of Anarchy, it's the logical evolution from a state of nature.

>Culture is created spontaneously. It isn't 'about' art or anything, it's in every product of a society. Your European toilet is a product of European culture. It's honestly impossible to find a society without culture.
No not really. Up until industrialization things were crafted for its artistic merit. Now it's all about saving $$$. Capitalism destroyed culture. Just walk down the American suburb you live in and take a look at the rows and rows identical, uninspired houses that are so devoid of any cultural merit because the builders wanted to lower expenses on their yearly balance sheet.

You're equating art and culture again, like a fucking idiot ought to.

desu you sound like you don't even know what culture means

On the contrary, America plays a rather large part in the process of globalization. Considering they're one of the leading nations when it comes to "Westernization" of other parts of the world.

The only actual country that's ever existed.

>the final blow was an attempt to fix this by electing Bernie Sanders

cool, but still not an American.

Also, in the original post I'm not dismissing all American art, but on the long run what legacy will an "entity" as the USA will leave behind.

The USA is one of the most dynamic societies today, no one is going to dispute that, but that's also a benefit of being able to be without enemies and have everyone else as your bitch.

the highest pervayor of arts became the highest pervayor of the uninformed

Nigga you could have literally mentioned anything else. ANYTHING else the country is actually good at.

Globalization started with European colonialism, it existed before the US.

Absolutely not. It wasn't even possible due to the lack of mass media.

Ha! Coming from you, that's rich. Ho about a definition?

>without enemies
What?

20th century was still a world divided by three, You had the US western alliance, the Sino/Soviet block and then the third world.

It was only after the capitalist liberalization of China and the fall of the Communist regimes that the US became the sole super power on earth.

It's actually just a different culture.

>What is the USA? A nation founded by decadent capitalist landholders on the backs of an Indian genocide. And built by African slaves.
Disregarded.

I don't think you know what "American Century" is supposed to mean.

>>"They accomplished some cool things, but killed a lot of people doing it"

like?...
creating false necessities and useless inventions that ultimately only exist to make our lives even more miserable doesn't seem like "cool things"

but that phrase goes pretty well with the french revolution period - which was also the last time france was ever relevant in the history of mankind

The Internet, for one.
If we had ever wished to create a utopia, and by "we," I mean humanity, we would need a system like the internet for communication and the spread of art and information.
It's just a bit misused now, since it's so new.

>"They didn't take free market principles far enough, and thus paid the price."

"Claimed Freedom as their own idea despite it being essentially a worldwide luxury."

True. But as said with the internet age and mass media its become a lot easier and more efficient on a grander scale of things.

Actually, you don't what it means. Amerindians had culture, their stories, their mounds, their religion, etc...

Yes, fine arts are a part of culture, but culture isn't limited to fine arts.

How does it feel to be possibly the dumbest person on this board?

>Yes, fine arts are a part of culture, but culture isn't limited to fine arts.
This.

>what is Mexico

If you think tribes and amerindian cults are culture then it's no wonder you believe americans have one.

Brazil is made up of States too. I think Argentina might be as well.

This is the most accurate one in the thread.

>"They accomplished some cool things, but killed a lot of people doing it"
Literally ever relevant country ever. If you want to make an omelet you gotta break some eggs.

>we will be remembered similar to the Mongols

we aren't even 1/50th as evil as they were, the future people will fucking love us.
