I believe we're already there. Collapse is slow and honestly boring

Yeah, people seem to expect a large sudden catastrophic shift... but, day to day we're all dying out here as corporate greed sucks us all dry.

That really is the sad part, huh?

On literally every front, of like 50, it's those 200 rich guys driving each crisis into overdrive in the name of adding a number to their net worth.

And cops. They just do what they do because they are shitty human beings.

paid to be shitty human beings.

Some areas have decent pay, but not batter, frame, and murder ALL the poor and youth level of pay.

Romans didn't suddenly wake up in ruins one day and decide to become medieval instead.

I like the argument that the Roman empire didn't collapse but rather transformed into the Catholic church.
