The fastest ways of destroying a nation:

1. Make the people dependent on a central government. It destroys ambition, gives nothing but feelings of hopelessness. Early on, give the people free things, give them incentives to spend their money (cars with government assistance, solar.....never mind that they may not be able to afford the payments in the future), you must hook them early. Once they are hooked, then the spiral to destruction is quietly started.

2. Divide the people, put them at odds with one another. What was written over 2,000 years ago is still true today. A house divided cannot stand. And, divide and conquer.

3. Take away privacy and individuality. When assault is directed at something that people think they have a right, then people know that they must conform to the wishes of government. This action suppresses people from coming together and talking, especially those who are prone to paranoia.

4. Disarm the public. Of course it has to be touted as “for the security and safety” of children. Best way to get to people is at a basal level, show how this or that will kill or gravely harm children.

5. Rewrite current laws and quietly sign into law that take away individuality.

6. Dismantle any belief systems, such as churches. Promote agnostic or atheist views. Easy way is to paint religion as ignorance and unsophisticated, antiquated ideas that show low mentality.

7. Rewrite history books. Make subtle changes and play to insecurities and anger of a select population. And destroy the memory, respect, or endearments or pride of the majority.

8. Gain control of any mass media, such as newspapers, television, or information on the internet.

9. Invade from within. Slowly acclimate through propaganda how an influx of immigrants will enhance the lives of the people. Open borders.

10. Round up any resistance that may still exist. Redistribute wealth, making everyone poor further suspends individuality.

....11. And constantly complain and do nothing!!!!

Sorry, good addition. We can say 11 would be when corned with lies and issues, blame your predecessor.

Good catch. Thank you.

And somewhere in the mix, you redefine words, so any label becomes racist, or bigoted, to keep honest discourse and opposition out of the way of the oppressors!

I think that we could put that as a sub to 2. Another good addition. I will revise this as we get more thoughts.

I did some research on nations/empires that have fallen and exactly what happened to compile my meager list. I welcome input that will enrich the breakdown!

Thank you

Is your post only up for agreement and not discussion?

oldladyfromwaco

Agreed...and I love Dummy Boy's addition....
11. And constantly complain and do nothing.....

Don Overton Loc: Southwest USA

Nope the easiest way is turn it over to conservatives, the tea party, and the republicans. Always a guarantee of chaos and destruction of the government.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

Open for discussion, additions, protests, whatever. It is like any other post. Thoughts are always welcome!

HAH! If it wasn't for the Republicans coming in and saving the country every time the democrats screw things up, this country wouldn't have been here for your hero,' Nero 'Obama, to ruin! America was not founded to be a socialist utopia. Everybody is supposed to carry their own weight. You could go as far as your work ethic took you. Nobody was supposed to be burdened with anyone else's mistakes. And we certainly weren't supposed to be saddled with a socialist/muslim/illegal running the country into the ground!
