Destroying Detroit destroyed America
It was America's most prosperous city. It hummed with civilizational vitality, put America first in manufacturing, and the beautiful buildings and amenities were testaments to an elite that cared about their city
Then Civil Rights Cultural Revolution, and destroyed Detroit. Practically overnight the city went up in smoke as the riots of '67 caused immense damage to the city fabric...but worse was what was to come
The Civil Rights Cultural Revolution wreaked havoc on Detroit's neighborhoods, schools, and the city itself. Nice neighborhoods families of similar ethnicities and backgrounds had spent generations building, pouring their souls and resources into...would have been better off burned, as the value became next to nill as blockbusting and other forms of white ethnic cleansing were used to hollow them out. Schools became warzones as forcible integration happened, and streets became battlefields thanks to out-of-control crime and, of course the riots
All the accumulated civilizational capital was destroyed. The social capital built by generations of investment in a place and its people, from the grand buildings constructed by the great to the nice neighborhoods of the humble, was turned into smoke in the blink of an eye. Financial capital was shredded as well, and the accumulated human capital built by having so many capable and talented people in one area was blown to bits as they scattered to the winds to avoid the worst physical consequences of the Cultural Revolution
Such is how the city became what it is known as remembered as
On the whole, Detroit stands as a testament to why nothing in America works anymore: investing in a locality and treating it as something to be cherished and built over generations is seen as pointless, as the Civil Rights Revolution means it could all just go up in smoke if the regime decides as much. Crime, riots, school bussing, and all the rest can just destroy it. And so Americans have decided, naturally enough, to live lives as transients who care not for or about the places in which they live, as to care is to give the evil regime power over you. Best to just be able to move on
That has a host of secondary effects, not least of which is nearly everything falling apart and being financialized and exploited. Those who could be building great buildings, investing in communities of which they are a part--the head, and developing the human capital of those who relay on them are instead just told by the story of Detroit to remember that whatever good they do, it can all be wiped away in an instant. Best to just "get yours" and go hide out of sight of Jesse Jackson's friends
Such a mindset has wrecked America, and is much of why we're in the dire state we're in
Pictured below on the right is the Detroit Public Library. Such is what our civilization built, at private expense, before the Revolution. Now that race of giants is gone, replaced by acolytes of George Floyd
