I've been reading Settlers (albeit I just started it) and this seems to me that this is a core feature of the US.

Since before the US was an independent colony, there has been a reliance on imported labor (or labor of those who were here before us). From the indigenous people they enslaved, to importing slave labor from Africa.

Indentured servitude from Europe was only seen as a short misery from the settlers, and even that dropped rapidly when importing slave labor from Africa became cheaper.

The culture war that Nick Fuentes and any of these other groypers want to believe exists doesn't. Capital doesn't care about keeping jobs in the US, and would replace them with an immigrant without second thought if it saved them money.

I also feel that education in the US has been plummeting. Our universities are regarded as the most desirable to graduate from, but a majority of our schools provide very little practical education.

I went to a state college over the past decade and it was the top Computer Science university in my state. Most of the classes provided zero enrichment, and the ones that would have provided enrichment, were ridden with cheaters outsourcing their work on Fiverr to someone in the global south.
