Geez, I'd hate to see what he's pessimistic about!

A little ways down from Cochran's essay is one by someone named Thomas Metzinger, who says at one point: "Now that America is not a Western country any more..."

Later he says "America is gone for good."

He doesn't give any explanation or context. Does anyone know what this guy is talking about?
