This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.

You know when you go to a funeral and everybody’s so happy because it’s not them. I think the future is gonna be that way , just a great big ole love fest. After the panicking hordes. Gotta survive those panicking hordes.

We should probably do something, but what?

How about denying climate change?

I know, we have tried this since many decades and it hasn't worked so far. Maybe we have to deny reality harder.

I used to be an accelerationist. I mean, I still am, but I used to be one.
