because america is occupying us and everyone worth 9 figures and above has the minimal intelligence needed to realize that when you have a colony and an overlord, that it is better to go to the overlord than the unstable colony. remove the occupation and the stagnation will vanish.   it's a humiliation ritual, i.e it is intended to bait this exact response and then make you realize that you won't do shit about it and then buckbreak you into accepting it. it's not about the plastic.
